8/19/08 Astros (Moehler) at Brewers (Sheets): 7:05 PM CDT

[Brew Man Dan]

I can't believe it.. Why does kendall call for a 2 seam FB with a 1-2 count....come on

[thablingster]

Hey, Laynce Nix can make contact. I'll be.

 

It would be nice to at least get 1 back here.

[JET15]

nix? i guess we are surrendering this game...

First hit since '06... Yost knew... Nixy is due... pft

[tigerbrew]

Come on Brewers, let's tie the game please.

[trwi7]

Well the last time I was at a Brewer game Laynce Nix hit a 2 run homer. Maybe it will happen tonight.

 

[/optimist]

 

 

Close enough.

[sargennm]

Rally cap time. Come on Ray, let's do this.

[ELCABALLO45]

Since the Allstar break Sheets has:

 

Barely made it through 5 innings against the crappy Giants

Got beat by the AAA Braves

Lost to the crummy Padres

Fell apart against the Astro Juggernaut.

 

He did beat the powerhouse Nationals, though.

1. Agree

2. The same game where the Brewers scored 0 runs. 6ip 2er still a quality start.

3. Gave up 3 runs in 6.2 innings against Jake Peavy. Offense scored 2 runs for him that game.

4. A couple bad pitches. But yeah.

5. So what, that doesnt count? The Nats are still a MLB team. Right?

 

What about his great game against Stl?

[iluvlamp]

Dear Ray,

 

I love you. Get a hit or I won't love you anymore.

 

Thanks,

 

Me

 

...ok he k's...sigh

[JET15]

OMG, that strike was way high on Ray.... cmon

[trwi7]

That was a nice professional at bat by Durham.

[iluvlamp]

SAFE!!!!!!

[Bernman23]

Blum is the new Jack Wilson?

Or you can think of it as: Bill Hall is to the Reds as Geoff Blum is to the Brewers.

This isn't exactly a new occurrence that he's become a Brewer killer. He hit a game winner against the Crew in San Diego either last season or the one before and I've always recognized him as a pain in our ass.

 

[trwi7]

BULL YOU ASS UEK:EHKLURQHW:(P#*#&NB(PBN

[moofnelson]

Escobar would have beat that out.

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow, he loooked safe.

[endaround]

Love how Rock knew Durham though tthat ball that was high all night was a strike in his mind

[Gobias Industries]

He should have ran hard out of the box instead of looking at if the 2B got it.

[pebadger]

Since CC joined up. the Brewers are 3-4 in Sheets' starts (pending tonight's outcome) and Sheets is 1-4 in decisions. So it could be 3-5/1-5, and his ERA has seen an appreciable jump, even with a CG shutout figured in. This on the team with the second best record in the NL.

[brewmann04]

love the professional hitters on this team

[wibadgers23]

Our offense scores 9 runs last night and then they absolutely poop their pants tonight with RISP. Frusturating and typical. And then Shouse gives up a leadoff double.

[thablingster]

If we're still complaining about Ben Sheets, don't forget his merry-go-round of base hits against the Cubs. Not complaining, just saying.

[Ranier]

What happened? This game started out so promising.

[yount19.u]

I can't believe it.. Why does kendall call for a 2 seam FB with a 1-2 count....come on

It was supposed to be outside and Sheets put it on a tee.

 

[Ranier]

Sheets must feel like a mouse in that dugout next to Sabathia.....talk about pitchers going in different directions.

[brewmann04]

sheets asking cc i going to houston next year since the brewers are not going to waste their money on me After watching you
