4/25/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Cubs (Lilly): 1:20 PM CDT

[crewcrazy]

Seeing Matt Wise pitch in the 5th freaking inning, I can't say I'd be oppposed to having Yo in the bullpen.

 

Of course, Wise is only pitching in the 5th because of bad luck...it's really sucky luck when Benny has to finish early two days after Villanueva pitched like 5 innings.

[PrinceFielder28]

Ueckers talking about hitting home runs... i think that is the issue that the Brewer's have we just need to make contact..Home runs today are going to be tough

[wOOgiE22]

Then your just giving in to the whining player. You want to set an example and say your not going to get your way by whining. Those kind of players are just a cancer to the team.

[crewcrazy]

Hardy-Fielder-Hall due up...let's get 2 more runs back.

[Team Canada]

I think most on this site overrate JJs defense. He is a C+ SS.

 

Hardy has been terrific so far this year. No way he's a C+.

[BrewCrewForever]

Im on board with bringing Capellan up. If he can help us out of the pen, why not. I stil think we can win this game, remember this is the Cubs. They already made to outs at 3rd. They will mess up some more Im sure.

[afeter]

i have never heard or read anything about cappy being cancer when he was up with the club. Of course he is going to disappointed by getting sent down, esp when you see the talent we kept. Get him up here, he will be happy.

 

On another note , i don't agree that examples need to be made out of players at the pro level. Wins need to be made. That is the most important thing.

[Ennder]

JJ hasn't even played a full season in the majors yet, he's gonna make his share of errors but he is no C+ fielding SS thats for sure.

Wow...what an overreaction.

A C+ grade is above average. There is nothing wrong with that. I would just rate him in the middle defensively amongst MLB shortstops. Somewhere just above Jack Wilson and behind Alex gonzales.

[chuckcrim]

There's nothing worse than an off day after a loss. I hate thinking about the loss on their off day. Now I'll be scrambling for information on the Sheets injury too. Uh!!

[Oldcity]

Have to get Hart in here.

[brewmann04]

on the bright side we took another series

[wOOgiE22]

Hopefully we can get some runs in the next couple innings and get this game. If we don't, oh well you can't win them all and move on to Houston. Sweeps are nice, but series wins are just as important.

[Oldcity]

Yep. Just not their day today.

[brettac1]

Somewhere just above Jack Wilson and behind Alex gonzales.

 

I'd probably put him a little below Yuniesky Betancourt and Adam Everett. Both of those guys make everyone else look like chumps. Hardy's a top five defensive SS in the league right now.

[wOOgiE22]

Derrek Lee absolutely kills the Brewers. He is on a tear right now!

[Team Canada]

Derek Lee is ridiculous. Apparently we need to look at our gameplan and do the exact opposite.

[BucketheadBrigader]

There's your game, folks.

[bobskube]

Spurling is just another Travis Phelps type. His time here will be short.

 

We will get them next time. Just a bad day.

[Team Canada]

Well, now I can really stop paying attention. Oh well.

[wOOgiE22]

Wow, I bet the Cubs were happy when they seen Sheeter come out of the game. The bullpen has been atrocious today.

[chuckcrim]

When can we see Sarfate and Capellan instead of Spurling and Dessens?

[wOOgiE22]

Hey maybe that will get Rickie out of his slump!

[splitterpfj]

I was kind of hoping for a rainout today, fearing exactly what happened. I convinced myself that I was overreacting, and that Sheets would come through just fine.

 

I should know better than to trust me by now.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

I was at the gym today watching the game and according to WGN Sheets fastball kept clocking in at 89 or 90 with a few 91's and a top speed that I saw of 93 to pie. As I live in MN and only listen to the games has this been the norm this season? Is this why the k's are down and the era is up. Is he hurt again?

 

Is this groin injury like the one Schmidt in LA suffered which is really a shoulder injury?
