4/21/07 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Brewers (Capuano): 6:05 PM CDT

Problem is the right now the bullpen looks like this:

 

1) Cordero: Top-flight closer

2) Turnbow: Very good 8th inning guy

3) Wise: Pretty good, but no durability at all, almost to the point where it ties up your hands in certain spots in terms of usage

4) Shouse: Solid LOOGY

 

Then you have Dessens who is the long guy and hasn't really been needed in that role yet this year and Aquino and Villanueva who have struggled to put it mildly. In other words if Wise isn't available (which is pretty often) or the starter doesn't go 7, that 7th inning is very nervous.

 

One more guy in the pen that one is comfortable with would be real nice. Either one of the bottom three has to step it up or find someone who does.

[sargennm]

Oh man. Here we go with the walks again.

[PeaveyFury]

Too bad Lane walked there, considering Turnbow struck him out twice during the AB.

[madjeff66]

Three straight "where did that miss" pitches for the leadoff walk, are you kidding me???

 

One of those has to be a strike, or your strike zone is less than half-size.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Good job T-bow. Way to bounce back!!!

[PeaveyFury]

The Brewers have been on the short end of two plays where the tie is supposed to go to the runner already this series.

[TauPentaRei]

BRING IN AQUINO!

[cruiserx43]

Can we stop walking people?

first off, I guess I'm always in the minority, but he appeared to have his foot in the air when the ball was caught.

 

secondly, I've discussed this with umpires, and they point out adamently that there is no such thing as a tie. Either someone is safe or out.

[jloos19]

Lee vs. Cordero for the game? Wow, this is interesting.

[PeaveyFury]

I've discussed this with umpires, and they point out adamently that there is no such thing as a tie. Either someone is safe or out.

 

And in that scenario, they're safe.

[madjeff66]

Schroeder: You've got to be careful here with Lee on 3-1...

 

Or you could just pound a slider on the outside corner and have Lee yank it to the 3B for the win.

[cruiserx43]

Yah, good win. Nail biting and I am down to nubbs, but good nonetheless.

[TauPentaRei]

Who needs cardiovascular activity when you have the Crew?

 

Coco, you complete me.

 

(that called 3rd strike to Scott was GENEROUS at best)

[jason21nl]

nice to get a win tonight since we are going to be facing such a tough pitcher tomorrow.

[cruiserx43]

I am ready for one of Bush's buckle down games tomorrow. The brew can take him down.

[hawing]

I am ready for one of Bush's buckle down games tomorrow.

 

It would be a great time for "good Dave Bush", wouldn't it?

[DHonks]

I wish I was in Vegas tomorrow. i'm going there Thursday. Tomorrow I'm sure I could get some great odds on the Brewers. Probably a $20 wins $30. Oswalt might be the best pitcher in the NL, but Bush is due.

That picture is absolutely hilarious. I think someone misses JJ...

[hawing]

That picture is great. Carlos, you really do miss JJ, don't you?

[iluvlamp]

You are my air

The sun in my day

The moon in my night

The spring in my step

You are my everything.

 

You are the stars in the sky

The birds in the trees

The shimmer, the sparkle, the shine.

 

Without the light you put into my life

I would be nothing

A single leaf on the ground in autumn,

Lost, forgotten, alone.

 

Before i knew you,

I was nothing.

Now I am everything,

With you at my side,

I am invincible!

 

Feel the same my baby,

You are loved so much,

I love you now and forever

You are my darling, my baby, my love

You are my everything

I love you so much.

 

We miss you too Carlos!

I'd like to thank UW Whitewater Chem Club for that game. Lots of fun with those kids(section 416 baby). Great game, here's to hoping we get a win vs oswalt tomarrow.

41209 in the stands tonight. This is the Brewers fifth sellout in ten home games. This is impressive for the smallest market in MLB, in the first month of the season. Great work Brewers fans!

[igor67]

Yep an April sellout with no giveaways or enemy fans packing the seats is very impressive. I'm sure the players have noticed too.
