Hey, at least GG came in and did pretty well...this is a big game if we're going to make up ground.

[no19no1]

pec tightness? Benny needs to suck it up and pitch

 

For real!!

[crossface21]

Even if Sheets had sucked it up what would it have done? He most likely would have killed the Brewers tonite if he had stayed in the game. His curve ball wasn't biting very much and his velocity was way down. Lucky to get out of the 1st inning with only 1 run allowed.

[crossface21]

These K's are getting pretty ridiculous. There's no reason this guy should have this many strikeouts so far. SOMEONE MAKE SOME CONTACT!!

[wisconsinfan47]

Oh, how one hour's events can completely change the general mood of Brewers Nation.

[Oldcity]

I'd rather he take caution if a tight pec is really what the problem is. He felt tightness right before his torn lat but decided to push through it.

[fondybrewfan]

Comn Prince get a ribby or 3

[PeaveyFury]

I'm still feeling the same way. Feeling good tonight about the team.

 

Doesn't sound major for Ben..... probably will only miss a month or so.

[Oldcity]

Could it just be from the heat? I don't know. For anyone watching, is he still in the dugout? Does he look like he's in pain? Anything you can give me?

[brettac1]

Well, that's awesome.

[crossface21]

This reminds me of when Helling came back from the DL. Strikes out the side in the first inning of work, then gets rocked.

[RU Rah Rah]

Sheets is pretty much snake-bit. I mean, has anyone ever heard of "pec tightness" knocking someone out?

Nope. bullox said it best, Ben is out of shape. Period. I am starting to question his heart. A lot of people on here and in general tend to stand up for the guy through a lot of stuff that he pulls but I'm sorry, one decent season in '04 with a low ERA and high K totals doesn't make up for his lack of production after his big contract was handed out.

[BrewCityUnit]

Kevin Mench is tough to watch....atleast he won us one game this year.

[crossface21]

SEE YA!!

[BrewCityUnit]

Wow...Jenkins is on fire...Yost sure does know what he is doing. Am I dreaming?

[adambr2]

Why is Mench still batting cleanup??

 

On the plus side, good to see Jenkins get #10 at a pretty important time -- gets us back in the game.

[Dollarbill13]

Unreal call by Sutton there... "Come on Jenks, hit number 10... and it's off the pole, there is number 10"

[Oldcity]

Thattaway Jenks.

[fondybrewfan]

Comn Damian get another back right here. And how did Bell get a triple to shallow right?

[adambr2]

By the way, who gets the call now when Sheets goes on the DL? Jackson or Villanueva?

[wisconsinfan47]

Runner on third, one out.

 

Gotta get him home and get back in the game!

[BrewCityUnit]

Man, do I love David "Taco" Bell......nice triple. He should really come up to the plate the next time at Miller Park and have the "Saved by the Bell" song as his signature song.

[fondybrewfan]

You gotta pinch for Gonzo if they walk Miller here, you ahve to, I will kick and scream if Yost send up Jeremi to hit

[RU Rah Rah]

I won't quite put Sheets in Kerry Wood territory yet, if only because his injuries are more evenly distributed over his body -- arm, ear, chest, etc. I guess he's due for some turf toe next?

 

Nice to hear a Jenks home-run call, though. I had sort of forgotten what one sounded like . . .
