6/28/2006 Brewers (Bush) @Cubs (Marmol) 1:20 pm CDT

[Team Canada]

I was thinking on a permanent basis.

 

Gotcha. I can only hope that Ned moves Jenks down for lefties (or doesn't start him at all), but I'm not very confident that'll happen.

[hauser42]

I was looking at this week and was really liking this road trip we were suppose to miss Liriano and Johan while playing the Twins. Now the Twins are skipping Bonser so we will face Liriano.

 

I comment on this because really the toughest matchup was Maddux on Monday night. Brewers kill Zambrano and the rest of the matchups had questions. I would like to see 3 more wins this week if not 4.

[Team Canada]

JJ update: JP talked to him, pretty depressed, no bball activities at all now, tendon still popping, no timetable for return.

 

It seems more and more like he's not going to be able to play any more before having surgury on it.

[TheCrew07]

I have ceased looking at the pitching match ups. It doesn't matter, if the hitters show up the crew wins, if not they lose. Everytime someone posts about favorable matchups the Brewers seem to lose every game they should win on paper.

[sgtcluels]

Go Crew!

 

Insert Mock of Radioless Nullbyte here.

I understand your frustration, and I agree. I would still love to miss the top pitchers in any rotation.

I worry more about the brewers defense imploding than pitching match-ups

[sgtkowboy]

My Lineup would be

Weeks

Gross

Fielder

Lee

Koskie

Hall

Jenkins

Moeller

[dixieflatline]

Rickie doesn't get on but I love his approach at the plate. Didn't swing until the 5th pitch then makes what appears to have been solid contact. Marmol in the mid 90's according to CBSsportline.

[Badger61]

I don't much like bill hall in the 2-hole. I'd like to see him go back to 6

[hauser42]

That was a nasty pitch for strike 3 on Jenks. Bush needs to mow them down now.

[sgtkowboy]

I didn't watch those at bats, but those last two had to be ugly

[JoeH33]

I think Billy could use a day or two off. He's really been slumping as of late.

[DHonks]

why do you say that? this kid has a nasty 93 mph heater with movement, and a tight slider that he got Jenkins on. Other than the two that nearly hit Hall, his command has been very sharp

[TauPentaRei]

hump day... good call

[sweepscc]

alright horse.

[hauser42]

Now we need to get him so we have the lead, no need to play from behind again.

[Team Canada]

We're such horrible baserunners.

[Badger61]

We are so good at wasting leadoff doubles

[Marleyboo]

For some reason i've been really hungry for some toast and Marmalade since this game started.

[hauser42]

Terrible job by Lee, that is costly.

[djoctagone]

anybody else lose gameday audio when koskie came to bat?

[honuswagner21]

I did but it is back up now

[dixieflatline]

BTW, why are the cubs starting Nevin in left now? He is 35 years old. Maybe it is time to play the youngster Dusty? Or maybe they thinking getting to that 70th win is really that important.

[hauser42]

Only other option is Murton and he is really struggling. Only real prospect is Pie and he is too young right now.

 

Nevin gives them one more power guy.
