BOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Davey Lopes would bench Spivey tomorow so he doesn't break the all time strikeout record.

Just a couple days ago I was being ripped for not being Mr. Positive on the Brewers and all their great success against the Mighty Pirates. Now reality is setting in against a real team and All the Positive World Series types are feeling a little down.

Face the facts-- the Brewers are just a poor team that will dwell with other 2 or 3 bad teams in the NL again.

Mrs. Sheets = hott.

 

Bob Brainerd = nott.

I have Ben at 105 pitches-second wind?

[shelmark]

Suppan beats the Brewers because he knows they will get anxious and swing at his pitch. Spivey is perfect example, but even Overbay swung at a 3-1 sinker going away. Too anxious. The guy has average stuff and he is shutting us out. Lineup 6-9 is pretty lame though. Hardy isn't much better than a pitcher at this point. Moeller- ugh.

[DHonks]

Mrs. Sheets = hott.

 

and the accent to go along with it....wow

I think there are very little "facts" at this point in the season.

[YutakaEnatsu]

Bob Brainerd interviews Mrs. Sheets about Ben's new contract... first question: "Did you go out and buy any new dresses yet?" She took it in stride, God bless her.

 

Less offensive and more offense, please...

[ja002h]

Cubs lose, Cubs lose!

 

Ol' Man Remlinger coughs up the lead in the 8th...

[ja002h]

Crap. This offensive showing is quite hangdog.

[batman]

Ol' Man Remlinger coughs up the lead in the 8th...

 

He must always be referred to as Mr. Greybeard, straight out of those lame Just For Men commercials with Keith Hernandez.

 

At least something good happened today.

[endaround]

No play for Mr. Grey!

[DHonks]

simple question, why are there two earned runs off sheets? runner on via error. Then a single puts 1 on first, 1 out (in scorebook terms). Then an out, so 2 outs. Then the bunt hit/error would move runner to third, if not for the error. Then an out. So to me, the runner should have gotten to third AT BEST

[YutakaEnatsu]

Ben must have known that was it - that last pitch was the hardest one of the night. 97 MPH according to FSN, and I hadn't seen him break 93-94 all night.

This sounds like something the "holy Trinity" on ESPN's boards would say...

[polwonks]

how many "failed to finish" DPs in the last week?

[ja002h]

K #2 for Pujols! We OWN the man.

[AJAY]

Please pinch hit for Moeller.

[batman]

Bottalico > Pujols.

[Jeff S]

How bad is the brewer's offense? The scoreboard on espn.com has negative 1 runs scored in the 6th.

[polwonks]

anemic

[ja002h]

Suppan for Cy Young. Sheesh.

[Harold Hutchison]

Too many "failed to finish" DPs.

 

And to be honest, Moeller and Hardy are just a pair of black holes in the lineup. It's gotta be time to get Sheets used to Miller.

I suspect we couldn't hit a grooved Scott Karl fastball down the middle today.

 

Heck, that's true on almost ANY day, it seems...
