And now everyone can say Bush sucks again before HE gave up 4 earned runs.

I agree he doesn't suck but he is a limited pitcher.. he is never going to be an all-star.. he can be serviceable but you have to live within his limits.. he isn't the workhorse that is going to close out games.. he will battle and keep you in it.. but you have to get him out when it is far enough enough for the pen.

[RyDogg66]

No actually. I'll gladly take a dropped pop up for a hit with RISP.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Hate to say it, but the Cubs have this feel like they might go crazy and win like 9 of 10 or something. God, I hope I'm wrong.

[SeriesFinale]

&@($@( these Cubs fans.

 

There's only one way to solve that and it's not by hanging out in the IGT

[thablingster]

I mostly hate the fact they take over our ballpark. I can't even begin to tell you how much that annoys me.

[crewcrazy]

Well it's nice to see that the bullpen would've given the lead up anyway even if Bush hadn't started the 7th.

[lumberrule]

You watch, the Cubs are going to wake up this series and go on a tear.

 

With Ted Lilly going tomorrow and Zambrano Wednesday, who I think will be motivated to pitch a heck of a game after what happened over the weekend, it wouldn't shock me at all to see the Brewers get swept.

[lukevan]

Eh, it was a good night to do some hard drinking anyway.

[rluzinski]

I agree he doesn't suck but he is a limited pitcher.. he is never going to be an all-star..

 

Of course not.

[geothite]

This inning shouldn't have gotten to this point.

Again I have not been critical of Ned but good managers don't allow this to occur time after time.

When a guy walks the #7 or #8 hitter it is time to go get him.

You don't treat all of your pitchers as if they are Sheets.

If you know a guy is being killed by the big inning how about not allowing him to get into that position.

 

A lead off walk is a screaming red flag with Bush that Yost sat there and ignored. How about not having anyone up throwing late in the game with a guy who has been killed by big innings?

[And That]

BOOOOOOOOO.

 

 

(That was more for the offense.)

[brewmann04]

well at least when the bullpen stinks they really do it.

I like to see someteam get hot and finally wake up these brewers.

the lack of hitting tonight was horrible.

But Ned Yost has to learn from Bush past performances.

[funkyplaidcoat]

kerblewy....i get off the plane from portland, settle in to my couch and this is how i'm greeted by the bullpen. I should fly out more often.

 

Don't give up hope on this game, folks. It's still the Cubs bullpen.

The lead in the loss column is down to four games, by the way.

And with our inept offense with RISP and shaky bullpen, I expect our lead to disappear very shortly.

[cruiserx43]

Funny thing is you can look at the box an be very deceived by the pitching lines. Obviously Marquis made the pitches when they counted.

[danzig6767]

BULLPEN = Bush's biggest foe.

 

He left the game with runners on first and third with nobody out,were you expecting the relievers to strike out the side and strand both runners?

 

I could see if he got pulled with two outs,but there was nobody out.

[brewmann04]

6 game league over the cards

[LUKE232323]

I will not be shocked if the Crew gets swept either. They leave men on base like they want to.

[sheethead]

That's the whole concept behind a LOOGY.

 

Yeah, but Shouse is no LOOGY.

[MoneyballMan]

Ok, big rally - Huge win.

[lumberrule]

Say it with me, Johnny:

 

GIDP! GIDP!

[Shampoo4U]

Sorry, the story would not have been the same if the Bullpen would have been called on right away on the top of the 7th.

The bullpen would not have stunk starting off an inning.

amen. I'll be there for at least 2 out of the 3 series in late June. I would go the third game on Sunday but I'm thinking after spending Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon in the bleachers, I might need a bit of a rest. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[bucks2281]

I'm sick of Johnny Estrada. Yeah, I hope he's frustrated.

[lumberrule]

Estrada is pathetic. A 2-1 count, and he swings at a pitch about neck-high.
