04/10/05 - Brewers (Santos) @ Cubs (Maddux), 1:20 PM CT

[PeaveyFury]

Man, his stuff is simply electric. If he harnesses his control, he's going to be scary good.

[batman]

96 at the knees on the outside corner. Unbelievable.

[endaround]

Darron: Yost and Maddux say DelaRosa just needs a bit more fire. Some anger.

 

Bill: He just needs to calm down.

[batman]

SMOKING!!!

 

Dude is amazing.

 

~Bill

[batman]

YES!

 

That was mighty impressive. That's easily the best I've ever seen him pitch. That's almost Oliver Perez good.

 

~Bill

[Pack87Man]

Was De La Rosa put in there because he'd be able to pitch an extra inning or two? Whatever the reason, that's some nasty stuff he has in his arsenal.

[batboy37]

JDLR is just filthy. Sexson trade is good.

[crichar3]

Bill -- I think we got the former.

[PeaveyFury]

De la Rosa is going to make the Sexson trade by far one of the best trades in franchise history.

 

Very, very impressive stuff. I think this role on the team suits him very well, too. He doesn't have the command to start and be consistently successful yet, as he'll only be able to go ~5 innings before hitting 100 pitches. He's going to be a fantastic starter someday, though. Hopefully Castro and Maddux can help him harness the control.

[DHonks]

So how many In-N-Out burgers is that?

 

that might be a whole lot of 4x4's animal style.

 

I deal in White Castles.

 

I feel sorry for you Toby. Had them one time and I was thoroughly disgusted.

[bryan]

There's the Glendon I remembers

[950opsLHcatcher]

A Cubs-Brewers game that only lasts 9 innings is somehow unsatisfying.

Hmmm...young hard throwing lefty, broken in via the bullpen. I'd say our "friends" in Minnesota have heard this one before

[DHonks]

Lee is the man

 

come on Geoff, you're due!

You know, I hadn't really given that much thought, but it might be a fairly apt comparison....

[JoeH33]

Alright Jenks lets knock 'em in

[hawing]

"This is Glendon Rusch's game."

 

Got to like the sound of that...

[badgerfan.tgf]

$hit!!!

 

PLEASE GOD LET CARLOS BE OK!!!!

[endaround]

ugh--Jenkins against a lefty and Carlos hurting his knee. Ugly doesn't begin.

[PeaveyFury]

Oh man....

 

And what the heck are Cubs fans pissed about?

[DHonks]

Lee sure didn't go into 2nd as if his wife was there

[batboy37]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[bryan]

Walking off the field is a good sign.

[batman]

I think I just had a heart attack.

 

My arteries hurt.

 

*exhale*

 

~Bill

[badgerfan.tgf]

Can we ever get a clutch hit???

 

We've got 5 runs on 14 hits (plus a couple of gift errors)...the Cubs have 5 runs on 7 hits. Hitting with RISP looks to be the same HUGE problem that it was last year.

 

Gotta get this win!!!! Come on 'pen!
