6/23/05 Cubs (Rusch) @ Brewers (Sheets) 1:05 CST

[mls4]

The ball must be carrying well. On both Brewer homeruns, announcers seemed surprised it went out.

Someone please add up the stats for the 2 Lees this series.

 

thanks.

 

Carlos: 4-13, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB

Derek: 6-12, 4 HR, 7 RBI, 3 BB

Dusty you idiot... why do you pitch to Moeller?

You're getting annoying. Give it a rest.

A couple quick thoughts:

 

Len Kasper has turned himself into a solid announcer. He's really improved since his fill-in days in Milwaukee back in the day. Brenly, on the other hand, is a bigger doofus than Schroeder by far. Kasper made a solid point about strikeouts don't really matter when you're hitting like Derrick Lee and walking your fair share, to which Brenly responded, "He's going to strikeout over 100 times, and if he turned four out of every ten of those into hits, he'd be batting even higher." Bah? Even John Madden thought that was a moronically obvious statement.

 

Anyone else getting concerned that we're seeing the Sheets closer to years 1-3 rather than the Sheets of 2004? Not striking many people out, giving up a ton of HR's, and not as sharp on his control. I'm a bit worried...

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Do you have the feeling that the last Lee who gets an AB will win this game for his team ?

[burniebrewer]

Dusty you idiot... why do you pitch to Moeller?

 

It just doesn't get old, does it? You're cracking me up.

[spadepunk13]

103 pitches for Rusch. Think he'll be back? I actually hope so.

[bork]

So if the Brewers are 26-1 when leading after 6 innings, that means they are 6-38 when tied or losing after 6 innings. Hope we can break that trend today.

Chad's has had a .787 OPS in the month of June. I'd keep on riding him while he's hot and give Miller some time off to get healthy.

With Carlos' the only question was if he got under it too much because he crushed it, but it went very high. As far as Moeller it was a slicing liner that barely got over the wall and, frankly, I'm surprised when Moeller hits one out.

Aramis Ramirez is swinging the stick well this series. Nice. I like it.

Cub fan and Brewer fan? BOOO! On a vehimently Pro-Brewer board? Double BOOOOO! Someone liking Aramis Ramirez? Triple BOOOOOOOOO! Being from Minnesota, having "Brew" in your name, and cheering the Cubs? Quadruple B........well, you get the idea.

 

 

 

BOO cub fans that are also Brewer fans. I've expressed this before......that shouldn't be allowed.

[madtownbrew]

Every time we tie the game up, they get another run. This game is very, very frustrating thus far! Let's hope Sheets can shut them down.

It is rather annoying to continuously - post after post, day after day - read comments made in hindsight to criticize a manager's strategerie, isn't it?

Good grief Moeller.... you catch that ball and he's out at the plate.

[deeswan]

Hi, my name is Ben Sheets. I'm a hard-luck pitcher for the Brewers. I just never get any run support. Meh.

[burniebrewer]

Again, Ben gives it back. Ridiculous.

[AJAY]

Darn it Sheets, step it up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Crap!!

[DuluthBrew]

Anyone up in the bullpen? I don't have a TV

Not sure if you are watching on TV, but Moeller really had no chance to catch the ball, IMO.

[Fike85]

I hope we win this game, but if we don't I will not feel bad for Sheets.

[Worm8181]

I have a friend at school whos second favorite team is the Brewers after the Cubs. I told him it's not possible to like both. Thanks for the back up on my idea.

Wuertz is up for the Cubs, Bottalico for the Brewers.

[stkmtimo]

Ben is a solid pitcher and it's true he's not getting much run support, BUT, he has been giving up some runs lately. He does not look like the dominating pitcher he has been in the past. Similarily, lately I have been more comfortable with Doug Davis out there (scratch his Blue Jays outing) because he always seems to keep the team in the game. Sheets is giving the lead back a lot this year to the opposition.
