The Brewers host the Phillies Monday, September 1 (Labor Day), then Wednesday and Thursday, (9/3 and 9/4). Does anyone know why they are taking a Tuesday off in the middle of a series?

My guess is because they are playing Monday late afternoon after a Sunday night game. Give them Tuesday off after two games plays travel in just over 24 hours.

That could certainly be the reason, I've just never seen that happen before. Unless I'm missing something, no other team has had a Tuesday off since everybody played the home opener.

Does everyone play on Labor Day? Guessing it's a maximize revenue situation.

This is correct. The brewers chose to move the game to Monday to maximize the Labor Day crowd and not have an off day on the holiday. There was a jsonline article about it a few weeks ago that I'm not in position to find right now.

Not everyone plays Labor Day, but the only days off (at least I thought) were Mondays and Thursdays. Why not play the Phillies in Milwaukee Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and have Thursday off before you travel for the weekend in Pittsburgh?

It doesn't matter. Just weird.

In the old days (60s - 80s), it was very common to have scheduled doubleheaders on Labor Day, 4th of July, etc.

Marvin Miller changed things.

I believe teams cannot play on 20 straight days. Monday will be 19 straight days (20 games), so they couldn't play Tuesday and Wednesday or it would be 21 straight days.

Could've had Monday off and played Tuesday through Thursday, but wanted the holiday game day. So it was either Tuesday off and play Wednesday and Thursday or Wednesday off playing Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

That's mostly correct, although I believe the consecutive day limit is 20, not 19.  So they could play Monday and Tuesday, then take Wednesday off, and finish the series Thursday...but that would be even more unusual.

You are correct. Wades is incorrect that they had to take a day off. Their last off day was Thursday, August 14. Game on Friday, August 15. They could have played Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday would have been 20th day.

I don't believe the double-header counts twice.

Don't be so soft, Wades.  It was a joke.

And yes, yes.  The Cubs are notorious for the postseason success.

By driving an MRAP on the field and doing donuts then firing the 50 cal at the ivy because it looked at them funny.

I'm sure there is a store that sells crayons in the area so the boys won't run out of food.

They could have had more rooftop snipers if Ricketts hadn't been so shortsighted with the new video board.

It's really something that Colson Montgomery got called up July 4th and will probably end up hitting 20 home runs.

He bottomed out in April/May. Those two weeks the organization took him aside really turned his career around possibly.

Pulling Durbin for Seigler is just a dumb move.

Galaxy brain move. Seigler is not a big leaguer and won't be.
