Some good Yankee mojo for Opening Day at the Bronx. (sorry I couldn't help myself http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif )

Yeah, like the Yankees are going to be able to handle an ace the caliber of Joe Mays. I'll believe it when I see it.

I'll stay up and watch that Houston-Giants game, I love late-night baseball.

 

What hurt even worse about yesterday's loss was that the Stros managed to pull out the win in 12.

One week into the season, I'm not going to worry too much about what the Astros, Cardinals, and Cubs do on days when the Brewers lose. But, that's just me.

 

I'm not sure if this is appropriate here, but Sheets worked a scoreless one-hit first inning in Nashville's game in Des Moines.

[bsglorydays]

Big Ben with a 2nd inning line drive single of his own.

 

Nelson Cruz hit a 2-run homer in the 1st inning. Game is 3-0 Sounds in the bottom of the 2nd.

[bsglorydays]

Thru 2 innings, Sheets has thrown 30 pitches (19 strikes) and has allowed 1 hit and no walks while strking out 3.

 

Edit: Sorry, I'll put the rest of my comments in the minor league thread.

Yeah, because, of course, the games this early don't count towards the final record.

 

Anyway, I wasn't flagellating myself over it, it just kinda stinks.

 

Flagellating doesn't start until late June, at least!

Who taught Bronson Arroyo to hit thisyear? He has two AB's and 2 HR's? He just took Glendon Rusch deep against the Cubs

[davemakovec]

Is there a Silver Slugger award for pitchers?

 

Bronson Arroyo and Mark Mulder are in a running contest to see who can outslug the other.

 

I love seeing people hit home runs against the Cubs, especially when it's the pitcher.

[DHonks]

Remember, Arroyo came up as an NL pitcher

[jloos19]

I can't believe Arroyo homered again! Since it's against the Scrubs, it excites me even more.

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

Brian Bannister is 2 for 2 today for the Mets with a single and a double....you'd think the Brewers could find one pitcher who could hit near his weight.....oh yeah, I blame Butch.

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

Reds have 4 hits and 4HR and Dunn has gone deep twice.....yep that is the Glendon Rusch I remember....ok, they just got a non-HR hit....Glendon must be settling down.

[SeriesFinale]

Will Oh, Man in "relief"

[SeriesFinale]

Tee Hee Hee, this one should deflate some of the puffed chests here on the Northside after the Cubs' sweep of St. Louis

[brewers19]

This is starting to get out of hand. 6 homers given up already by Rusch and Ohman.

[JohnBriggs12]

OH MAN!

 

His line: 0 IP 4 H 5 R 5 ER 1 BB.

 

Now Jacque Jones has left the game for an unknown reason.

 

Seriously though, the Reds can mash and the wind is blowing out.

[davemakovec]

I love seeing the scrubs get destroyed like this. I only wish it would happen every day.

 

Now if the Brewers take three or more of the games remaining on this road trip it'll be a pretty good week.

[markwitx]

Listing to sports radio here in Houston today, they were saying there is a lot of rain in the bay area today, so doesn't look to good for the Astro's Giants tonight.

[CportBadger]

The Stros did get washed out, they'll play two on Thursday.

 

The Pirates are up 7-6 in the bottom of the 7th against LA.

 

Hafner has his 5th of the year and CLE looks like they'll push their streak to 6 games.

[Silicon Based Lifeform]

Brad Hawpe has a 2B, 3B, and HR thru the 5th inning for the Rockies @ Dbacks....he's the easy hit away from the cycle, but the way he's hitting the ball he might not be able to get just a single.

[hawing]

Reds have 4 hits and 4HR and Dunn has gone deep twice.....yep that is the Glendon Rusch I remember

 

Yeah, I caught those highlights last night. I hope Glendon didn't hurt his neck or torso by repeatedly whirling around to watch those balls fly.
