Homedawg's 2008 Playoff Thread

GM 2 MILWAUKEE -131 3.93/3.00

Listed CC. If it wasn't for some poor defensive play the Brewers could have stolen game 1. Feel they have a decided advantage on the mound with CC who himself said he feels much more relaxed this post season. Looking for another gem, and steal home field advantage heading back to Milw.

After watching game 1 I feel even more confident with my series bet. Philly didn't look overly impressive with their ace on the mound. They had some tight at bats. I didn't expect them to win game 1. I'm counting on CC stealing home field and putting them in position to steal the series. Will more than likely be looking to grab some better odds on Milw to win the series.

I think your way off on this series, but good luck. Myers has great numbers vs. the Brewers and CC is overrated.

how can you say CC is overated...

What good teams has he faced in the NL? Guy was horrible in the playoffs last year and the Phillies hit him well last year.

hno: overrated?

CC may be worn out but not overated. He took this team on his back and willed them into the playoffs. Similiar to what Hershiser did in 88. I see where you are drawing from just don't know how healthy Sheets is. I am definitely playing CC tommorrow at that price. G/L Homed!!!

Sheets is out the remainder of the postseason that is confirmed. Huge blow, but expected. CC hasn't shown any signs of wearing down quite yet. Not saying you Elmo, but everybody is making a big deal out of this where I don't see it as a problem. Pitchers with much smaller frames threw many more pitchers. CC has been doing this pretty much the whole second half the season. I think he is conditioned for this. As always BOL Elmo!!

GL man...I'm rooting on the Brewers for the post-season..not as confident as you in this series unfortunately, but hope you are right.

For what it's worth I think Myers had a pretty lucky start vs Milwaukee...complete game 2 hitter, I can't really argue it, but he only had 4 Ks (only walked 1 so not necessarily a bad thing)...and was facing a strange lineup with Durham in the 3-hole, a slumping pair of 1-2 hitters in JJ Hardy and Corey Hart too...Braun and Cameron put the ball in play every at-bat but failed to reach. We will see...I'm not fully confident in CC but to doubt him at this point is just being obstinate I think.

Tough start. Thought for sure CC was going to break out of his post seasons slump. Sounded right after reading interviews and hearing him talk. Apparently not.
