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

[Blazer25]

Hey a little rally!

[Blazer25]

Wow..Prince swinging at a lot of 1st pitches

[PrinceFielder28]

listening to the game on the radio and the stupid cubs fans are still chanting throw it back and now Hall is up...that was 2 batters ago that Weeks hit the HR

[PrinceFielder28]

another K for Billy...1-14 wow someone needs a day off

[chuckcrim]

Billy needs to break out of this mini slump.

[bobskube]

Rickie and Co. are all fine and will be back.

 

Let's just hope Sheets is OK. Groin injuries can be very touchy. They should proceed with caution. Maybe have Yovani get a start or two. I am not as concerned because of our depth as long as the injury is short-lived.

 

We will see. It is far too early to speculate an injury we did not see.

[iluvlamp]

Cub fans are dumb. They are still chanting.

[PrinceFielder28]

I don't think they will bring up Gallardo...I think they will give the ball to CV jr for a game or two if Ben can't go

[bobskube]

For the guys that said that Rickie needed to sit a day...I think you should have focused on your guy Bill Hall.

 

I don't think Bill needs to sit, but I believe they should drop him to five and hit Estrada sixth. Move up Menchkins to cleanup.

[Oldcity]

"Strained right growin" I don't get it? That's really starting to bother me.

[Pittsville Panther Alum]

2/3 is a good series. . i think we are just mostly concerned about benny.

 

brewers trade

 

elmer dessens

chris spurling

 

sounds trade

 

jose cappellan

dennis sarfate

[patrickgpe]

the only good thing about todays game is that Cordero and Turnbow got the day off.

I assume you are advocating those call ups. I would bring up Cappy but Sarfarte has yet to show he can pitch strikes. You also don't know what Cappy's mindset would be if he were to be called up.

[Pittsville Panther Alum]

yeah it was just a little humor...i know thats not really a trade.

 

 

give spurling a few more chances and if he can't pitch strikes then we have to find someone that can. i would be ok with just cappellan coming up.

[adamb100]

Well this game is in the books. Shame Dessens ruined it for us.

[hawing]

This kind of mirrors the Cubs series in Milwaukee. The visitors roll through the first two games, then stumble in the third. The Brewers arguably rebounded from the two losses a couple of weeks ago, so there's no obvious reason to assume they can't rebound again.

 

(Pending a Sheets update, I know. But there is more depth this year. Remember the depth.)

[wOOgiE22]

What I want to see on Friday is see the Crew rebound and beat Oswalt for the second time in a week, which is going to be a tough assignment. But so far it has been an outstanding week with the Crew beating Oswalt, Zambrano, and Hill, which is not a small task.

[burniebrewer]

Cub fans are dumb

 

No need to be repetitive.

 

It was implied when you said Cub fans.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[rluzinski]

Does Piniella always act like he's high as a kite during his post game interviews? Very odd.

[sgtcluels]

Only when he wins. If he loses just takes his ball and goes home.

 

Can't win em all.. the bullpen battle was lost today by us. Hope sheeters isn't to bad.

[BrewCrewForever]

I to think that dropping Billy to 5 or 6 at least for a little bit might be good. Menchkins batting 4 and Prince still batting 3 seems good.

[pitchleague]

I'll have to read the game thread at home later this evening. I see on the major league forum that Sheets strained his groin. Ouch. Hopefully not too serious.

 

Sure was a bummer teaching and then at the end of each class checking the Gametracker to give me an update and seeing things go south. Two out of three aint bad, though, and at least we're still in first!

[ryanbraun75]

man the brewers are solid in short relief with Wise, Turnbow and Cordero but if a starter leaves early i just odn't trust Dessens or Villanueva.

[BrewCrewForever]

i just odn't trust Dessens or Villanueva.

 

You don't trust Carlos Villanueva? He just pitched 4 scoreless innings in the 12 inning game Monday. That is probably the only reason they didn't go with him today instead of Dessens.

[augie46]

Baseball teams lose games. I am not going to be overly concerned about today. This team tends to bounce back pretty well.

 

I am a big Villanueva fan so I am not going to lose any sleep over Ben's groin. Unless it becomes a long-term injury.
