Since when do the Brewers play in the Tokyo Dome?
All the stupid “thundersticks” drive me crazy.

Thundersticks
They had those at Angel stadium in the ’02 series… I hated those things.

I knew I wasn't imagining this
I checked wikipedia.
They gained popularity in the U.S. when used during the 02 series in Anaheim.
I think popularity is a poor word choice there.

Well now Gallardo is pitching anyway
Even through they were trying to rest his arm by starting Suppan
Strange

Suppan is a bowl of suck
He has never even been an average pitcher, I have no idea how he managed to get that contract
by Telegraph on Oct 5, 2008 1:07 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Well............
……as a Cardinals fan, I can tell you how- Suppan was very solid and steady in his 3 years in STL. He pitched over 185 innings in each of his 3 seasons as a Cardinal, and his ERAs were 4.16, 3.57, and 4.12 Are those great numbers? Not at all. But in the current market, numbers like that get you big big money in free agency.
He hasn’t been terrible as a Brewer, just not what you would hope for from a player making big money.
I will always have a fondness for Suppan. He was a very instrumental part of a team that played in 3 NLCS, 2 World Series, and won 1 World championship. And he was awesome in the 2006 NLCS that the Mets have still yet to recover from!
by Hard8 on Oct 5, 2008 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I still can't believe they started Suppan
I mean… wow. At first it was understandable cause I didn’t think they wanted to risk Gallardo, but then they pitched Gallardo anyway after Suppan sucked his way off the field.

During the ASG this year,
I finally went to bed in the 12th or 13th inning or so, ‘cause I had to be up at 0500 the next morning. I tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep, so I finally got up and turned the TV back on just in time for the last RBI and the win.
The moral of the story is, yes, you are correct.

Hells to the no
Come on, LSJ. Best of 5 in baseball is just dumbness. It’s just way too small a sample. To play an entire 162 game season and then have it end in three days is just retarded. They should all be best of seven.
Baseball already has the shortest postseason in all of pro sports, adding one or two games to it ain’t gonna make it unbearable or anything. If you really do have a problem with the length of the post season, just cut out all these damn off days they give teams in the early rounds.

Pretty stupid looking if you ask me
Note to TBS: this is the wrong sport for generating graphics on the field.

the thing is this isnt a normal 11 innings
the first 9 took a ridiculously long time. and these have been long as well.
this is more like the 16th-17th now in normal innings time.
the preceding post was a great success.

This has been insane. Runners all over the basepaths, but nobody can get that critical hit.

Indians picked him up at some point during ‘08, I think on a minor league deal. Don’t know if he’ll still be there in ’09 though.

I’m really tired of the cocky Red Sox fans. Maybe even more so than the Halos.
