5/18/06 Phillies (Hamels) @ Brewers (Eveland), 12:05 PM CST

[craigharmann]

Eveland didn't do horrible. The 4 walks and the HR is what hurt the most...he's showing improvement.

[mikerollins]

Atta Boy Rillo. Still rakin at 36 (?). How old is he?

 

Gotta at least scratch one or 2 out here to make this defecit do-able.

[Team Canada]

We need to at least get Rillo in.

 

...Thank you Carlos.

[brewmann04]

thanks for the input on today game

hey I thought our ace was healthy has been ptching really well.

[Ralph Wiggum]

ok, man on 2nd with nobody out. If Camel (my new name for this kid) gets out of this, he gets immediate induction into the Harry Houdini HOF. I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion the Brewers are getting beat by themselves, not Camel.

[mikerollins]

This is where Lee has to get Geoff in.

 

A perfect example of a time where a strikeout is about the only thing that won't get that done. (and why I've said so many times that strikeouts do matter.).

 

**Edited for spelling Geoff...Jeff. Wow. I really am distracted at work.

[craigharmann]

Got a run on the board...scratch and claw our way back into it

[BuckyTuba]

how hard does this guy throw? i'm at the computer lab working on some stuff for a professor, no java or flash, so i can't follow stuff.

[jloos19]

We scored!! Too bad it's now 4-1. But hey, at least Hamels finally gave up a run.

Cappy is pitching well, but I wouldn't go so far as to annoit him the ace of the staff just yet. He's working his way to that honor with each Ben Sheets DL day, though.

He's one of the best pitching prospects in all of baseball.

Isn't he also a complete head case as well though? Wasn't he the guy who kept getting in bar fights etc..

[BuckyTuba]

in other game news, kerry wood has given up 3 homers in the first 3 innings he's pitched.

Pretty sure that is Gavin Floyd. The Phillies have some decent young arms around.

[craigharmann]

The news on Wood makes it a very good day!

[davemakovec]

Finally we got a hit and a run. Good for Carlos. We need to continue scoring runs.

 

This kid is hittable, and he can be scored on.

[Ralph Wiggum]

A pitcher with an 8.44 ERA is replaced by one with a 6.44. Baby steps, I guess.

 

I never thought I'd long for the days of Brooks Kieschnick. I wonder what Dave Burba is up to?

[TauPentaRei]

2 more at-bats for Hall... keep it close AAAA-Lehr

[Past Member]

Regarding Kerry Wood's return, I thought the Cubs fans were saying that they were going to win it all when they get their Ace back. Ouch!

[craigharmann]

Kerry Wood-- now that's an injury-prone ace.

[jloos19]

Moeller really cannot throw out runners, can he?

[Team Canada]

I'm so ready for the Mike Rivera backup era to begin.

[Trowekamp]

Lucky for Moeller his offense keeps him in the big leagues.. oh wait a sec. what the @#$#$@% is he doing in the big leagues?

Greg Maddux never left. Wood and Prior (like Sheets) are only aces in name.

[craigharmann]

At least Moeller is able to catch foul pop-ups!

[Trowekamp]

Oh.. he is good at catching pop ups.. got it..
