9/2/08 Mets (Niese) at Brewers (Parra): 7:05 PM CDT

Prince is bad.

[Brewcrewin07]

And THAT is why Ned should have PH Gabe there. Nice job Prince.

[Bernman23]

Yet another example of Nedly being too afraid to alienate one of his players who just aren't getting the job done.

[BrianShouseForPrez]

Good call InBraunWeTrust

[ELCABALLO45]

Good lord, Prince is definitely a big, fat, SMELLY turd.

Wow, going a little overboard? LOL.

 

But yeah, he has been frustrating this year. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[MillerParkSouth]

unbelievable. Dave Bush better be prepared to throw 9 tomorrow the way this is going.

[Ranier]

I think Prince should just throw the ball to the second baseman now.

[crewcrazy]

wow Prince's average is down to .266?? way to make a big arby1 push there buddy.

It doesn't help that the Brewers have seemingly faced a lefty every day for the past week or two. Once we hit a solid stretch of righty starters that should crawl back up, although Prince has been prone to slumps this year. I'd expect him to finish the year around .270-.275, which is right around his career average anyway. I know he wants to be a .300 hitter, but I'll eat my hat the day he finishes the season above that mark.

[bbaehman]

I told you!!!! should have BUNTED!!!

[Ranier]

I'd pinch hit Kapler against the lefty here, maybe even Rivera.

 

never could, should or would happen

[mastershake76]

I home DM sticks it right up Prince and Scott Boras' rear ends when contract time comes around. Price can walk as far as I care.

[wibadgers23]

The Mets have a terrible bullpen? We sure are making them looking pretty good so far.

[danzig6767]

Well that went from a promising inning to garbage

 

I miss being excited to see Prince come up in big spots of the game

[DougJones43]

That was an amazing play against Hart. Not much you can do about that.

 

Geez. I have to believe if we didn't have the 2 stupidest people in all of baseball (Sveum and Weeks), we would have won this game.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Good thing we got to that bad Mets Bullpen!

[InBraunWeTrust]

OF COURSE we should have bunted. Unfortunately, it makes too much sense to Ned Yost. I don't care who is batting. If you have a guy at 1st, none out, and only need one run to win, YOU BUNT.

[SeriesFinale]

Phillies win, Cubs tie it up in Chicago, Cardinals winning...this is shaping up to be a pseudo-gut-punch game.

[ELCABALLO45]

Im going to be sick to my stomach.

[Trowekamp]

I am on the bandwagon that we need to catch the cubs so we can play the d-backs in the playoffs.. the Mets are the anti-brewers (patience, good defense).. I prefer the d-backs youth and inexperience..

[SeriesFinale]

Geez. I have to believe if we didn't have the 2 stupidest people in all of baseball (Sveum and Weeks), we would have won this game.

If we didn't have Weeks this game would already be over: Mets win.

 

(Of course, I say that as he coughs it up)

[trwi7]

Wow, this game is going to end badly. Weeks needs to hang onto that. Horrible defense.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I hate to say this, but this team is not going to make the playoffs unless Prince gets going again.

[Bernman23]

I'd pinch hit Kapler against the lefty here, maybe even Rivera.

 

never could, should or would happen

Compelling argument there.

 

Prince vs. lefties: about .220/.700, and more like a .150/.550 type hitter lately

Gabe vs. lefties: .354/.993

[mastershake76]

Maybe if Rickie's glove was only slightly bigger than his hand, that might have been easier to come up with.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Alright so instead of repeating August 2007 in August 2008, we just pushed it out a month?
