that first milwaukee game
got pretty extensive. But a lot of posts ended up getting killed because Cubs fans are dicks
We could be getting close tonight
I’ll ask the tech team if they can help identify the record.

JD discussing the merits of platooning...
in terms of LaRussa and the Cards.
Says you can save money since neither players are “front line starters” in terms of salary. Guards against injury, etc.
Interesting stuff.
JD's smart
Actual player knowledge meets an willingness to entertain and synthesize objective knowledge.

Bases loaded...
and it was a good walk. He tried to make Bradley chase, but Bradley’s got good plate discipline.
He’s the key to the 2009 Cubs. So says I.
Too bad Ortiz didn't start the game instead of Moehler.
He leaves with bases loaded….as JD said, his results will look either good or very bad, depending on what Sampson does here.
My bad for the com
“stupid face” next time then. I’m really just jealous that I’ve never gotten a “1st” even though I’ve tried dilligently on Yahoo OMG! pages with subject matter ranging from Brad Pitt to Linsdey Lohan.

everytime he bats, I ask, why is he on this team?
I would have preferred Maysonet as a utility infielder. Truthfully, we probably would be better off with another pinch hitter like Gall, Abercrombie, or Saccomano.
Question
Should Ortiz have been pulled after giving up four in the first inning?
Or perhaps after putting one on base in the second after giving up four in the first inning?
No
He was pretty solid after that.

geary, you've got like three different pitches
and there are only four places you’re going to throw it to. What the hell is taking so long?
Looking ahead
Hampton starts on Friday in SL, then Roy, then Wandy, and leaving Mohler/Ortiz Hampton & Roy for Pittsburgh?
We really need for Hampton to step up!

Number of comments in a typical game thread
I’ve been around since the offseason after the World Series. This is just my perception of how things have gone since then:
~ 100 posts is a typical game thread
~ 150 when we draw folks over from BrewCrewBall or BleedCubbieBlue (collectively known as BCB)
~ 200 for really exciting parts of the season, like the last week and we have to win every game to possibly have a shot at the postseason.
I’ve seen probably less than a half dozen overflow threads.
I’ve never seen 200 posts in the overflow thread before, which is where it was at a moment ago when I looked.
clack, StrosBro, or rastronomicals can probably confirm, maybe even entropic soul
Either we’ve got a lot of new blood this season or ya’ll have gotten talkative.
Last night's was 450+
Interesting that we’re all talkative right now.

astros are a grand slam away from tying it up.
first the astros have to figure out how to get players on base before hitting the HR.
on a shitty game, too
of course, it probably wouldn’t be as extensive if the Astros hadn’t kept it interesting
