08/05/2006 Brewers (Sheets) vs. Cardinals (Reyes) 6:15 p.m.

[BCZF]

I wish I were a troll

[pitchleague]

unfortunately, we are a bit short on gods on our team . . . . Fielder is pretty close, but he's a rookie.

 

Sheets will have to do for now, cause it is highly unlikely we'll ever get a Johan Santana, Randy Johnson (in his prime), Dwight Gooden (circa 1985), or Bob Gibson.

[don1481]

I think Jenkins is a battler

[bklynbrewcrew]

I am as frustrating as anyone about Sheets. I cant tell you how much I hear from coworkers about how Sheets never pitches. I still defend him because I believe that injuries are just bad luck and that things will turn in Ben's favor in the future.

[don1481]

Ben Sheets is a battler

 

According to Daron, Ronnie Belly-Lard is a battler. UGH.

[giffted1]

The Cardinals defense is keeping us in it tonight.

[crossface21]

That was pretty good by Taguchi. He looks so helpless out there right now. Kind of like someone just kicked his dog.

[Oldcity]

Well let's capitalize here Miller.

[bullox]

According to Daron, Ronnie Belly-Lard is a battler.

 

If that is the case, I don't want battlers.

[crossface21]

Here we go. Let's do something with this.

[Oldcity]

How can Helling be hitting here? Pinch hit!

[crossface21]

That was awful. And the Cardinal fans should be quiet. Actually it would have been a double play.

[Oldcity]

Great. Good thing Helling hit.

[crossface21]

Helling hit so that the Crew has some more options later in the game.

[PeaveyFury]

That is the absolutely only thing to do there, Stevo. Try to put down the bunt and save the pen as much as humanly possible.

[fondybrewfan]

Well still get him in here, just watch I got some faith

[Oldcity]

But how much could Helling have left anyhow? He hasn't been sharp as it is. I just don't think passing that chance up is worth having Helling pitch one more inning.

[fondybrewfan]

Comn Prince this is big!!!!

[Ennder]

Well we pretty much only have 1 IP types left in the pen and they need to finish out this game and be around for the next one. I don't really see how Yost had much choice.

[fondybrewfan]

they should no better than to bring in a lefty secialist to face Fielder. watch hell probably pop up now that I say that

[PeaveyFury]

But how much could Helling have left anyhow? He hasn't been sharp as it is.

 

He's only pitched two innings, so he should have a few left. And he's looked fine in those two.

[Oldcity]

Gross.

[adamb100]

Props to Edmonds for a great diving catch, he's having trouble walking tho.

[Oldcity]

Wise pitched yesterday, so I guess you're right. It's just frustrating that it had to kill a potential rally.

[PeaveyFury]

Well, that sums up our luck, it seems.
