4/8/07 Cubs (Miller) @ Brewers (Capuano) as if it mattered

[wOOgiE22]

Not a bad day for Tony today at all.

[COOOOP]

Walking Weeks to get to Counsell. Evidently Lou reads BF.net (and probably originated a thread or two).

[thablingster]

There is no such thing as clutch hitting.

[AJAY]

Thank you Craig Counsell !!!

 

I have to admit that I would have gone with Graffanino.

[wOOgiE22]

OMG Counsell! Who would have thought?!

[Team Canada]

HUGE game for Counsell.

[Fike85]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!

[COOOOP]

Just friggen awesome! Three run triple for Counsell!

[wOOgiE22]

I would have never in my wild life imagined Craig leading the team in RBI's!

[yogallardo43]

Big hit but he is tied for the lead with Jenkins

[RoseBowlMtg]

OK who else liked this lineup?

[crewcrazy]

Counsell is freaking amazing with the bases loaded.

[And That]

Why not use Dessens here?

[sgtcluels]

Didn't he pitch last night? Cordero needs some work. I'm ok with it.

[AJAY]

Cordero is nibbling a lot.

[AJAY]

That felt so good to win big against the Scrubs. I am glad we broke it open late. That was a nail-biter for a while.

 

[Oldcity]

And fans step away from the ledge... for one game. Huge game for Counsell. It seems like every time I complain about him being in the lineup he has a big game.

[patrickgpe]

yeah thats a big win, atleast we split the homestand, and hopefully we can get a good start on the road tomorrow.

Craig Freakin Counsell with a single, double and triple... a HR short of a Moeller-Cycle. I mean, he was hitting below the Moeller line coming into the game.

 

You gotta love the way that game ended. I was gripping big time when the Cubs got to within two runs.

 

Back to 500, boys

[splitterpfj]

So, we don't need Ryan Braun now, right?

 

Great to get a W, one of those things where you lose every game in a series is always tough to deal with.

[bigredrobbo]

How on earth could we possibly win a game with the worst lineup in Brewers history?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[JET15]

Lineup, schmine-up, it's all about the Power of the peeps and the reverse jinx. Thanks again, Jamie

LOL...I like it...I say an average of .100 should hereby be known as the "Moeller line".

It was interesting hearing about the support Counsell got in Arizona and to see how many people look down on him in his hometown. Why not support a local guy with marginal talent who plays the game hard and has people from his previous teams love the way he plays? Eckstein is adored in St Louis, hopefully Brewer fans can appreciate Craig's efforts at the end of a nice career most people never thought he would have achieved.

[adambr2]

I don't have a problem with Craig, I have a problem giving $3 million a year to a guy who is undoubtedly a bench player at this point in his career. If we were absolutely desperate, I can see it, but we could have kept Cirillo for much cheaper, who I feel is still the better player.
