5/7/06 Brewers (Bush ?) @ Dodgers (Sele), 3:10 PM CST

Tell Wood and Prior that.

 

Not everyone is made of glass.

 

As far as pitching on three days rest being a huge deal, I just can't agree if it's a one time thing. I grew up watching Nolan Ryan do it, "bullpen" used to be an unknown word, and pitchers were doing it every postseason until a few years ago (see: Doug Drabek, Jack Morris, Greg Maddux, Orel Hershiser, etc., etc. Now count THEIR injuries). I'm saying the Brewers either 1.) knew Sheets was really hurting or 2.) were naive. There was a thread which read "Rumors of Sheets sore arm in Clubhouse." It all got denied, and then he gets scratched. Is it being suggested that this is a coincidence? Look at last year and what happened. The Brewers are either guilty of lying, denial, or ignorance. Choose your favorite explantion.

[bucksman4]

YES!

 

Finally no Geoff Jenkins in the lineup. He needed a day off. Mostly because he hasn't hit worth a lick.

the ap is reporting the sheets will pitch on thursday. why don't i buy that?

I often find it very hard to make sound judgements on decisions made by the organization because they know a million times more about the situation and what they are doing than I ever can sitting here at my computer. I trust that the Brewers are doing what is the best for both Ben and the organization. Really, who are we to judge the competance of the organization staff based simply on our opinions, rumors, and sporadic news articles?

The point is everyone knew something was wrong with Ben. The organization said their wasn't. Obviously there was and is. How did everyone else know? Anyone who watched the last game he pitched HAD to know. The clubhouse workers KNEW! (I ask very little, but I'm going to have to ask you to trust me on that one). At what point do you finally come to the conclusion that something is not right?

[endaround]

The Brewers deal with injuries this way all the time. If you watched Spivey go day to day for a month you'd recognize the pattern.

That has been my point. How on earth can you believe anybody?

[brewers19]

He's scheduled to pitch on Thursday, nobody said that it was set in stone. It's tentative.

[Pointer1VB]

I doubt your "source" in the clubhouse even exists.

 

If he exists, have him get me tickets for the weekend homestand in two week. Preferibly behind home plate where the players wives sit.

 

Then I'll believe your "source."

[UeckerAddict]

I doubt your "source" in the clubhouse even exists.

 

Mom, get off the internet.

[Pointer1VB]

Mom? That doesn't even make sense.

They were told to keep quiet because Sheets actually hurt his arm when he was involved in the Kennedy Assassination. He tripped and fell when he was leaving the grassy knoll and fell squarly on his shoulder. Either that or when he was holding the camera filming the fake moon landing.

[Pointer1VB]

I see someone agrees that the "source" is bogus.

[Pointer1VB]

BTW, I was kidding. The guy in the clubhouse does exist. I know him and he does get me tickets from time to time (I know UeckerAddict).

[UeckerAddict]

Do they brainwash at West Point?

[wisconsinfan47]

It's going to be a very long day.

[DHonks]

glad to see Bush going today. Rough start, but nothing getting elevated. He was available in the pen today, so he should be good for 75-90 pitches

[Ennder]

I'm all for Jenkins getting a day off, but its hard to say that someone hitting .280 with an .819 OPS isn't hitting a lick.

[TauPentaRei]

This would be a good day for the cycle Chadwick Von Moeller

[wisconsinfan47]

Alright Bush!!! I like his bat.

 

1-1 Game now

[jloos19]

Man Weeks smoked that ball. Alright, at least it's tied again.

[UeckerAddict]

Bush can definitely hit better than Benji.

[UeckerAddict]

That one's on Prince.

[AJAY]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!

[adamb100]

I know it's still early but I declare we lost.
