4/6/07 Cubs (Hill) @ Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

Don't know why Gwynn wasn't used. If he can't hit LH pitching for average, he really has no skill set.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, that sucked. I'm sure glad the top of the order stepped it up there to get us back in the game as the Cubs were clearly requesting. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Those were three terrible AB's in a row.

 

Way to go "off the screen".

[sundevil1]

Squandered another opportunity, just like wednesday

[PeaveyFury]

A couple of disgusting AB's from out young players there.

[packfan79]

Wow Weeks has been terrible to start the season...

[endaround]

Weeks has looked bad so far this season.

[Jaylyn]

Agreed, not a positive sign from Weeks

[JET15]

Mad Hatter 610 - You're uncle rant was hillarious. Been there.

 

Hang in there, bud

[True CryM]

Jenkins v. Lefties. Hasn't this been established? He can't hit lefties. Why would you bring in your WORST left-hand hitting bench player in that situation? I wish there was an ongoing tally of Ned's questionable decisions.

[PeaveyFury]

Man, the Bill Hall experience is turning quite ugly very fast....

[PeaveyFury]

Jenkins v. Lefties. Hasn't this been established? He can't hit lefties. Why would you bring in your WORST left-hand hitting bench player in that situation?

 

Who is better than Jenkins on the bench? They're all horrible vs. lefty pitching.

 

Actually, Jenkins has the best numbers vs. LHP of those lefty batters on the bench, with Gwynn as a question mark.

[NeedMoreFans]

I thought they are platooning Mench and Jenkins because Jenkins CAN'T hit left handed pitching, yet he is the first off the bench?

 

Weeks and Fielder have looked horrible in this game and in the first week in general.

[Bikeage77]

how come 1250 hasn't started the post game show? this game is clearly over

[endaround]

Again, because they went with Gwynn the only RH bat is Miller and he won't be used. Which is why the Gwynn decision was weird.

[bucks2281]

Yikes. Come on, Claudio Vargas. He's making the same first impression as Aquino.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Here's a positive:

 

Unlike the guy who we traded for Vargas (and, admittedly, a player of higher value in Estrrrrrrrrrrada), Vargas actually throws strikes. I'm okay with that.

 

This is a three-game series, kids. We'll get Psycho Zambrano tomorrow.

[Jaylyn]

Did I read that right, Jeff Cirillo hit lefties at a .413 clip last year?

[JET15]

Here's a positive:

 

Tomorrow's a new game

[adambr2]

Love what I see out of Claudio Vargas so far.

 

So far, our #5 starting position doesn't look so solid after all after what we've seen from Vargas and Villy.

[JET15]

Yes, Cirillo hit 413 v LHP

 

Man, I miss that guy

[Jaylyn]

Thanks Tony for not making this game" THE" top story on ESPN

[brewers19]

Now seems like as good a time as any for a drinking game; take a drink every time the camera cuts to a Cubs fan and a Brewers fan sitting next to each other.

[hawing]

Someone say something to persuade me that tonight is going to be the low point of this weekend's series.

[Mad Hatter 610]

JET15, Thank-you, although I wasn't trying to be Funny, just letting out my built up anxiety (how sad is that)

 

---Update on my FIB Uncle.---

With that Hart home run, I finally got the courage to step out from the shadows(and behind my parents computer) with the belief that I could keep it under control. And as my Uncle began to lay it into me, my mother asked him about his daughter, (the one that hates him) After a couple brief comments, he decided that it was time to hit the road.

 

Mothers can really surprise you sometimes. As far as I'm concerned, there should be a special day where we honor our mothers for all the do for us. A day of there own where gifts can be bestowed upon them, their favorite meals prepared, and proper respect be given......

Wait a minute... HER BIRTHDAY! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
