8/17/05 - Brewers (Capuano) @ Rockies (Wright!!) - 8:05 CST

Getting 3 hit by Jamey Wright through 6 is depressing...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

I sure hope Lyle can get his average back over .280 and pick up a few homers to get to 20something. I do not think there will be a big market for Lyle if he is a 'peaked at' .270 16 home runs 1st baseman.

 

In hindsight, I think Dougie should not have made Lyle untouchable in July.

That Klement's commercial w/the fake Italian accents is horrendous.

KKKKKK

[H0FFY]

Maybe we should trade for the Wright guy. If we can shut us down in Colorado he must be something special. I cannot understand how he has a 5+ era. And I cannot understand how a 5+ era guy can be so effective against us.

 

Joking aside, this game is kind of important now. The results went a little our way so we can pick up a game on Houston. Mind you, I think we will be 5 1/2 games behind Houston/Washington/Philly and 4 1/2 behind Florida.

 

After tonight, it be SURVIVE for a week or two. We cannot make ground up on 4 teams, but if we can just hang close for a couple of weeks, I guess 2 of the 4 teams will fall back. But, if all four team play .500 we can actually chip away.

 

This is just my opinion. I do not want 400 posts explaining the permutations to the nth degree and questioning my sanity.

 

I just want to win tonight and play good in Houston.

I sure hope Lyle can get his average back over .280 and pick up a few homers to get to 20something.

 

The thing is, people need to remember these dry spells when Lyle does heat up. Suddenly Lyle will bat like .350 for a week and a half, and people will start saying how Overbay should stay and we should consider trading Prince.... totally forgetting about these dry spells that Lyle goes through fairly regularly.

I like the location on that last ball to Helton.. too bad it missed.

[cruiserx43]

This is not a good sign. It is the bottom of the sixth inning and we have only a 2 spot on Wright in Colorado. What are we going to do against REAL pitching? Maybe Jamie Wright is a steroid user too.

KKKKKKK

We're winning and not playing well. I'll take it everyday. We need to win games when the hitting isn't what it should be. Usually, they just mail it in.

[steve267268]

They sure are fouling off alot of pitches tonight..

[markwitx]

KKKKKKKK

[steve267268]

Wow, is Cappy making the big pitches tonight or what..

 

Walking Holliday would have been horrible.. Great performance on Shutout Night.. Thanks to Helton.. it may be a combined shutout with all those pitches.

[rluzinski]

6.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 8 K

 

WOW.

[H0FFY]

Wow, what hard work. Great job Cappy! k'ed the side, but used up about 25 pitches

[moofnelson]

Anyone know how many pitches Cappy is at now?

Cappy = Coors Jinx

 

Cap is da man.. no questions

[rluzinski]

For a team in the thick of the wildcard race you wouldn't think the game thread would be so dead.

 

I kid! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

There goes Branyan with those silly walks again.

[markwitx]

Boy the crowd in Denver don't make much noice. leadoff walk for Russell.

[steve267268]

93 pitches for Cappy so far on Shutout Night.

 

I wonder what his career high is? 120 may get him to the 9th for Turnbow to take over.

[markwitx]

wasn't the colorado pitching coach used to be the brewers pitching coach?

[steve267268]

And it all falls apart for Wright..

[rluzinski]

"...and I was never a guy with a great eye at the plate."

 

~ Bill, trying to explain how he thinks some hitters are too patient at the plate.

[steve267268]

Call it now guys, with a RISP, and less than 2 outs.. do you pinch hit for Cappy?
