Holding up a “Completely Useless By September” sign. And he seemed so proud of the cleverness of it, and all the Cubs fans could just watch him make a fool of himself.
We’ve seen how good CC is. We know that he’s going to be a FA come the end of the season. So assuming that the brewers can’t keep him do the cubs go after him hard? Marquis would probably have to go, but you would have a rotation of Z, CC, Dempster, Harden and Lilly. That would be one hell of a rotation
…Z, Lilly, Harden and Marquis under contract for next year, would probably like to keep Dempster, and have Samardzija and Gaudin to find spots for as well.

Watching the Mets vs. Fish
Those fish are scary.

Fielder almost lost that pop up
daeviant - September 28, 2008
I wouldn't be against the good old one game playoff again this year
That was so much fun last year.

Chanman25 - September 28, 2008
LETS FINISH THIS WITH A WIN! and hope the mets lose
forcing a game tomorrow.
BCB Vienna - September 28, 2008

Emelie - September 28, 2008

Oh, wait, that’s the Cubs magic number.
The Original Dave - September 28, 2008

zevkalman - September 28, 2008
there goes the no-no
Emelie - September 28, 2008
that was quick
and I am saying TWSS so no one else can!
Chanman25 - September 28, 2008
I have a feeling
This is going to be awful to watch. HAHAH
daeviant - September 28, 2008
I'm still a big fan of Guzman's
Today pretty much seals up the fact that he won’t be on the playoff roster. Hopefully he can be a big part of the team next year.

So what the heck does that mean for him in the postseason
nji232 - September 28, 2008
That strikes me as a little...ummm....weird?

I think it's a better reason than "I think Micah Hoffpauir is a ML outfielder."

What's the over/under on CC pitch count
130? 140?
JPetey - September 28, 2008
how ever many he has after 9 innings...
LT - September 28, 2008
160
daeviant - September 28, 2008
I'd go with 152
Chanman25 - September 28, 2008
till his arm falls off.
zevkalman - September 28, 2008
this is his last start as a brewer so i wouldn't doubt it
Chanman25 - September 28, 2008
If he wins tody I bet he starts tomorrow
if the Mets win also. He just doesn’t care about no arm falling off.
Weeghman Park - September 28, 2008
All of them.

There was this Brewers fan at the game yesterday
Holding up a “Completely Useless By September” sign. And he seemed so proud of the cleverness of it, and all the Cubs fans could just watch him make a fool of himself.
daeviant - September 28, 2008
what a tool
Emelie - September 28, 2008
Little do we know that the sign was really about Corey Hart...

Prince Fielder is just a clever name
He can’t bend over to field a ground ball if the playoff picture was on the line.
daeviant - September 28, 2008
Cecil can't make the play very well, huh?
Bob calls Fielder’s legs “tree-trunk legs”

I vote that out counts as strike two and he continues to try and strike him out

as long as

Except when it's a fly ball

JohnM - September 28, 2008
I don't know all of the rules but Len was saying something like the roster can be
changed at some point. Maybe after the NLCS? Wish I knew the rules more.
zevkalman - September 28, 2008
You can change players between rounds of the playoffs.
So if the Cubs win the NLDS, they can change their roster for the NLCS.
cwyers - September 28, 2008
Can be changed each round of the playoffs, true

SO here's a thought
We’ve seen how good CC is. We know that he’s going to be a FA come the end of the season. So assuming that the brewers can’t keep him do the cubs go after him hard? Marquis would probably have to go, but you would have a rotation of Z, CC, Dempster, Harden and Lilly. That would be one hell of a rotation
nmcubsfan - September 28, 2008
it would rip the Brewers' hearts out
CaliCub - September 28, 2008
isn't demp a FA also?
little to no chance of CC being a Cub
JPetey - September 28, 2008
why?
Because of money? I would think the cubs wouldn’t have a problem with that, especially if they win it all this year
nmcubsfan - September 28, 2008
Because the Cubs have...
…Z, Lilly, Harden and Marquis under contract for next year, would probably like to keep Dempster, and have Samardzija and Gaudin to find spots for as well.
cwyers - September 28, 2008
and also 'cause Yosh never stocked size 72 jerseys
CaliCub - September 28, 2008
Oh well
It was just a thought anyway…….you get these when your watching the game via gamecast on espn. No sound, no picture, drives a man to think!
nmcubsfan - September 28, 2008
plus
with Marshall, Hill (who?) Guzman.
OK maybe just Marshall
JPetey - September 28, 2008
