Other Game Note

 

JDLR - 5IP 6H 2ER 3BB 3K against Twins

 

He's had a couple good starts and a couple forgettable starts for the Royals.

[BrewCrewForever]

So what exactly was the deal with Clark and the umpire?

[BrewCrewForever]

Kind of off topic but does a player have to be on the 40 man roster to be a Sep 1st call up?

He was out of the batter's box and the 1st base umpire told him to get back in (which isn't his job) then Clark grounded out and the umpire yelled out really loud and acted like it was a close play and after he did that he started yelling at Clark even though he didn't say anything to him.

if Minny can pull together a 32 and 8 stretch... i certainly can hope for the sans-pluto cosmic alignment that allows a 23 and 6 run. may it begin tonight. all i thought about today was signing maddux. coletti has big brass ones. to make the moves he did in last fudgin place. this team needs a "reggie-white-deciding-to-play-in-green-bay-because-god-spoke-to-him" type of waiver wire pick-up / minor league call-up to make this a special team. the current recipe is too bland. nobody goes out to a three star restaurant and orders the tuna casserole. i mean, i like tuna casserole, but it's not going to win anything. not even this wildcard which when push comes to shove is going to stoke some marginal fire in some marginal club. the sandlot marlins have that fire and nothing to lose. rickie. the lynchpin loss. the line-up would be so dynamic with rickie. prince would still be having fun and elevating his game competing with his friend. all those times where rickie and prince seem to homer in the same game aren't so coincidental. maybe i'm making stuff up. trade for maddux, let bush stabilize in the pen. no, it's over. we're out of gas. tired, watered down and non-threatening, fish in a barrel. the first genuine - wait until next year -moment, but september last year felt like this too. draft well z, spend some money, do your investment banker thing mark... talk to bobby & go to mexico ned, experience a personal tragedy that gives you an edgy personality, make the ligaments heal rog, find another team besides texas to trade with doug... take ownership of the team robin, come on up frank k. wait. wait..

 

edit: i guess i need a fact checker, and another round

Yes, I believe so. But I think DM already said if they call anyone not on the 40 man up they can just move Weeks to the 60-day DL to clear a spot.

[hawing]

Come again?

[cruiserx43]

if Minny can pull together a 32 and 8 stretch...

 

 

Umm, did I miss a meeting somewhere?

[thablingster]

I bet if Cirillo hadn't gotten tossed, they'd PH Prince here. But without Gross that only leaves lefties Nix and Jenkins, and the backup C Rivera. And Ichi-Ohka. lol

[hawing]

Crap.

[thablingster]

I think we all saw that coming.

[cruiserx43]

Here is a question...who is the slower defender. Ben Grieve or Kevin Mench? Both are tied to a tractor trailer.

[Team Canada]

boy I'm glad we didn't PH for Doug in the 6th.

 

 

Ned has no clue.

 

edit: Sorry, that was on Yount, my bad.

 

 

 

Yay Helling!!!

 

 

 

We suck. Completely.

[thablingster]

Probably Mench, because even when Mench is running hard he is still slow. Grieve always looked like he was in slow motion, but that's because I never really saw him run lol.

 

*waits for someone to say we were Yosted, despite the fact Yost has been gone for 6 innings* lol

[cruiserx43]

I completely forgot that Helling was still on the roster.

Only problem, in this case you should have said Robin has no clue. You care to retract that statement, or is he an idiot too?

[hawing]

This is rock bottom '06, isn't it?

[cruiserx43]

that makes a crappy roadtrip even crappier.

[thablingster]

I think the only way this roadtrip can get worse is if Prince takes a liner in the face and Bill Hall blows out his knee.

 

... that really shouldn't be in blue. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Shampoo4U]

I see the same movie is still playing at the theatre in town. Do they get the new movie shipment Friday night??

[Team Canada]

No, I'll stick to it.

 

When you have a chance to get insurance, you take it.

 

 

Of course, given our glorious bullpen...

[naivin]

The Brewers have achieved Fun Bad status. Its no longer even frustrating. It has become more like a comedy. What new way will they invent to stink out loud next?

I'd agree, but given our choices, other than Rivera, I don't want to see Nix or Jenkins vs. a lefty. I'd almost say I want Dave Bush, but that would be fairly sad. LOL

This one is like watching WWE, same bad script, just new players. Instead of it being Shouse, Kolb, or Capellan, tonight it is Davis and Helling blowing the lead.

[Shampoo4U]

Maybe the Brewers should start beaning the umps. Then maybe they can have a bench clearing brawl with the umps. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
