09/06/2006 - Dodgers (Lowe) @ Brewers (Capuano) 7:05pm CT

[sgtcluels]

LA Dodgers (73 - 65)

Derek Lowe RHP (13-8, 3.79/1.26)

Maybe pitching on two days rest (after three innings of relief) took its toll on Lowe on Friday, who was not nearly as sharp as in recent starts, although he wasn't getting close pitches called, either. He had to pitch out of four jams in only five innings and allowed 10 base runners in five innings.

Milwaukee Brewers (64 - 75)

Chris Capuano LHP (11-9, 3.55/1.18)

Capuano only made a couple of mistakes in his last start on Friday against the Marlins, but they loomed large in his defeat. One of those mistakes was an inside fastball to Cory Ross with the game tied in the seventh. Ross hit a two-run home run on the pitch. Capuano gave up three runs in the game on five hits and one walk. He struck out seven in seven innings of work.

Cool.

 

I like Prince in the 4-hole better than Billy.

[BrewCrewForever]

Maybe Billy down to 5 he wont be pressing and have a couple hit game tonight. Rillo in the lineup and wearing a mic, sweet.

[sheetswannabe]

Grounders all day. Crew losses 2-1

[augie46]

That was no accident!

[sheetswannabe]

Ill take that. I wish Kent would have said something to Fielder. 1-0 crew!

[BrewCrewForever]

I think Cappy should plunk Kent now. Jenks dare I say starting to heat up?

[endaround]

Jenkins in September heading into tonight:

 

.667/.714/1.167

 

Sure its 7 PAs....

[thablingster]

I said it lMonday, ever since Jenkins got benched he is having better AB's. Maybe because he's not pressing so much, or what, but he really is.

[crossface21]

Just FYI, the Marlins Anibel Sanchez is throwing a no-hitter thru 8 IP against Arizona. He's given up 4 BB so he's not particulary sharp but still getting it done. I'm sure the Eastern Sports Programming Network will break in for it.

[endaround]

Not with a Red Sox game goign on!

 

Can anyone explain how Mench played that into a triple?

He sucks that's how.

[rluzinski]

If Mench is even an average defensive OFer, he certainly hasn't shown it with the Brewers yet.

[rluzinski]

1 out away to a no hitter...

 

EDIT: Sanchez get's it.

[crossface21]

No-hitter for Sanchez.

[crossface21]

The Marlins have 4 no-hitters in there history. We have 1. Wierd how that works.

[gypcasino]

And how close was that last play? Byrnes was out by about four inches.

[trwi7]

So what do you like watching more?

 

Your choices are:

 

Mench grounding out to SS

 

OR

 

Mench misplaying balls in LF

[rluzinski]

All this good pitching being wasted is depressing.

[gypcasino]

What's depressing is watching a no hitter by a team in the thick of the wild card race who has a payroll of 38 dollars while we wallow in misery for the umpteenth year in a row.
