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

[Oldcity]

Well it would have been bad luck for the Cards had that fallen in.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

lets get him some runs boys. helling has done a heck of a job

[crossface21]

You're right, Helling doesn't have much left. Only 3 IP, no hits allowed.

[Oldcity]

I never said he didn't have much left. I said he hadn't been sharp. He walked the lead-off man twice. Last inning was obviously great.

[Oldcity]

Play Corey Hart.

[brettac1]

Mench Stench.

[fondybrewfan]

Jenkins will get a hit here

[Oldcity]

Couldn't Doug just have done Lee for Cordero? Not that I'm real big on Cruz, but Doug could have still kept him and forgotten about Mench. He sucks.

[brettac1]

David Bell sucks at life.

[Oldcity]

I hate these replacements. It's like that bad movie.

[AJAY]

How many scoring chances is this team going to waste?

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!

[crossface21]

Well that pretty much sucked. It had to be eating away at LaRussa that he couldn't throw at Bell(the barrel roll at third) because of the game situation.

[Schlitz001]

Bell grounds into a double play.

[brettac1]

It was cool that the StL fans booed Bell. Dude can't walk a foot on earth without getting booed.

 

Serves him right.

[Oldcity]

Nice play Bill.

[brettac1]

Too bad they have already reached the 3 run quota for tonight, or they could win.

[Oldcity]

At least they're putting the ball in play.

[BrewCityUnit]

Hey Brett doesn't David Bell have a double and triple tonight. What is his OPS for the game tonight? I thought you were a big fan of OPS?

[thefutureishere2006]

i agree with what was said before. i think sheeter will be back for his next start. but if he doesnt...are we going to see villenueva or jackson. (yes we are back to that again)

 

lets hope its not the case.

[brettac1]

It's one game. He's been a dreadful player for his whole career, and that holds a little more weight for me.

[BrewCityUnit]

I'm just giving you crap Brett....That double played killed us....I still like his glove though. When Bell leads us to the wild card this year, hopefully Brewer nation will support him.

[brettac1]

That's cool. If he leads them to the wild card I'd support the hell out of the guy and happily look like a moron.

[bucksman4]

When Bell leads us to the wild card this year, hopefully Brewer nation will support him.

 

You're joking, right?

 

P.S. Sheets deserved the L tonight.

 

 

Sidenote: Sheets' career record now stands at 57-66 (ACE)!

[brettac1]

Hard to blame a guy for being injured, as well as his W-L record. They're both a lot of luck.

[bucksman4]

Hard to blame a guy for being injured, as well as his W-L record.

 

So why does a pitcher get credit when he racks up 20 wins but when it comes to him losing games, it's now NOT his fault? I never understood that rationale. It's the excuse people use for a overhyped pitcher who certainly is not meeting his contractual expectations. His ERA was not super in his first three seasons but yet the wins were due to his super pitching, yet all our losses were due to the lack of run support he received. Gotta love the Brewers kool-aid drinkers on his board.
