5/29/07 Braves (Smoltz) @ Brewers (Sheets): 7:05 PM CDT

[Kpanz20]

Thorman looks like he's on roids.

 

p.s. don't leave Shouse in if Cox pinch hits a righty for Orr.

 

Edit: Thank you Ned.

Where do you want him to play?

Maybe he should start bringing several gloves to the games again. Seriously, he just cost the Crew yet another run...

[BrewCrewForever]

That was a tough play that Hall didnt catch. He got a glove on it just didnt quite get it.

[mikerollins]

Another HORRIBLE outing by Sheets.

 

Hey Bucksman4....I wish we had an ace that could give us 6 solid innings with a shot to win...

 

Oh wait..we do. Every frickin time he starts.

We nearly had an open slot at third with that camera well.

[Kpanz20]

Why don't we see Wise more? His changeup has been sick all season.

[brewizard]

Matt Wise has been pretty good lately.

No?

[EdgarDiazRocks]

When will Melvin just bring up Mat Gamel already!

[bucksman4]

HAHAHA....I find it funny you feel you have to call me out when the ace of the staff has a good outing. You sound surprised. If he's the ace, you should expect this of him. Like I want to see him do poorly....

[jloos19]

Yeah, but bucksman you were calling him out earlier in the thread. Stop avoiding the question and just admit you were wrong and give Sheeter his due. I seriously sometimes question whether or not you want the Brewers to win when Sheets starts.

Think Hart has done enough tonight to catch Ned's attention and maybe earn another start or two?

[moofnelson]

We could really use some:

Good job Graffy. Now we can clear the Rickie spot this inning.

[jjgott]

"And Graffanino gets a hit"...And the forecast in hell is suddenly changed to light flurries.

[brewizard]

Graffy got a hit! Wow. This game IS different.

[mastershake76]

ohmygod. a hit by Graffy. Somebody call up weather.com and punch in the zip code for hell.

 

edit: Sonofabitch, I can't slide a hell freezing joke in there? I need faster DSL.

YES... I would certainly hope so. He looks real good today.

[Kpanz20]

When did Bobby Cox get so hefty? He's really put on the pounds.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

We'll have to take the temperature of his hands after the game.

Except that he CLEARLY said:

 

Oh wait..we do. Every frickin time he starts.

 

Please read other peoples' posts in their entirety before responding. Thanks.

jloos19...

 

I give credit to players who do well. The reason why you think I do not root for Sheets is because I'm one of the few people on here (and there are others besides me) who aren't afraid to critique Sheets when he deserves it. Some feel the guy can do no wrong.

 

Having said that, I give him credit when he does well and WANT to see him do well because that means the Brewers will do well. What I said earlier I stand by. He is notorious for his 1st inning struggles BUT I also said Let's not be sarcastically unrealistic here. When people speak of an ace "stopping a losing streak" it means (to me at least) that he will keep the ball club in the game for the entire duration of the game (much like Capuano did yesterday).

 

So I give Sheets credit for doing just what an ace should do tonight.

[MillerParkSouth]

nice one Rickie. He either needs to start hitting or move down in the order, this is getting ridiculous.

He only seems to be able to pitch an inning every other day. He doesn't go back to back days very much.

[bobskube]

Its all about TBOW betting slider over.

 

Will it be here today?

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Odd that I noticed this late that "Bikini Girl" is back behind the plate . . .with pig tails.

 

Oh and now she's out of her seat . . .great.
