7/19/05 Brewers (Davis) @ Cardinals (Suppan) 7:10pm CST

I think it will be important for Clark to get going. The 0-5 last night hurt (0-9 minislump after his hot start to the second 1/2). He is a difference maker.No Hall in the line-up. One of his AB's last night got me thinking. He really didn't burst out of the batters box. The ball was kind of mishandled. The DP got turned anyway but I wondered how close it would have been if he hustled. As a team I think the Crew is good but not good enough to go over .500 if they don't put the extra effort into it. That is my $0.02.

 

Oh by the way...watching the Cubs right now and Burnitz swings a lot like Jenkins. Seems like yesterday when they were the corner OF's.

[AJAY]

I am tired of playing like garbage against these guys. Can we get some good pitching, defense, and hitting for a few days?

 

We look better on paper, but lets show it on the field.

[whizkid]

I think Edmonds and Walker mostly haven't been starting against lefties all year.

It seems that LaRussa is just toying with us. He sits half his big stars each night, and still manages to unleash a devastating offensive onslaught.

 

Yeah thats sorta what I was thinking. It seems like tonight he's just takin' in easy on us, he knows no one's gonna catch the Cards so maybe he'll just let us take this one.

[rluzinski]

O look, Sutton's crush continues as he gushes over Eckstien during an interview. We seriously need to get Sutton a girlfriend or dog or something.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Heh! FSN Midwest (STL feed on mlb.tv) just showed a highlight reel from one year ago tonight, which was Zambrano's meltdown against Edmonds. Good, family entertainment there.

 

Unfortunately, it also kicks off another night of overrated Joe Buck and the Mad Hungarian...

[endaround]

All Star Eckstein---

 

At least with McCarver Jetter is a Hall of Fame player. Sutton thinks a bad player is actually great.

[NlGHTWlNG]

Did it not sound like Eckstein said, "Thank you very much Danny".

[Member]

What the heck was Rickie doing bunting?

 

Well, there goes another leadoff single wasted.

[Ennder]

Really hard to score runs when we consistantly only get 2 outs per inning because of "small ball" early in the game.

[JoeH33]

Well the Cards are in the exact same situation, and now they'll probably score like 3 runs.....http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

edit: or they'll try the same thing we did.....

[bucky2win]

I hate Albert!

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

here we go againhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[And That]

I want to play Washington again.

[JoeH33]

Ugh.....anyone else feel like this game is already out of reach.

Note to Ned: Four balls outside the strike zone to Pujols until further notice.

[NlGHTWlNG]

Wow, thanks Rolen. Have you been on the DL too long?

[rluzinski]

If I have to listen to Bill say, "WHY DO YOU GIVE SOMETHING TO HIT" FOR THE THOUSANDS TIME I will find Bill and shove a bat up his posterior. He says Doug shouldn't EVER pitch inside to Pujols. IF HE CAN'T THROW INSIDE HE MIGHT AS WELL NOT BE PITCHING.

Haha.. Uecker says:

 

Now, for whatever reason, Scott Rolen is around 2nd... That's not good. That's not tendinitis.

[endaround]

Yes if we wlaked Puljos nothing bad would ever happen. Sure we put a man inscoring position. But Rolen sucks after al...

Actually, jwhouk...

[NlGHTWlNG]

Schroeder said we shouldn't be pitching to any good player. I guess he would rather just give them free bases...I mean they must be hitting about .600, right?

[And That]

Foxworthy, Einstein, you know...

[Bruce Ciskie]

Dear Brewers--

 

Stop sucking.

 

Thank you.
