This is really a remarkable performance. He's basically throwing one pitch and that's all, and he's dominating the Brewers. Mariano Rivera does that (except against the Red Sox ), but he's one of very few.

 

Zambrano is a special talent. All the more reason not to take chances with his health.

not recently he hasnt, The Sox have shelled Rivera. Something like 6 blown saves in his pass 11 chances vs the sox.

Way to go Ben!

Let's GO offense!

That's why Bill said EXCEPT for Boston.

A walk!

[ja002h]

Ben better get this bunt down!

 

Noooo, not like that. Ergh.

[rainman]

He can't even help himself out.

[NlGHTWlNG]

"team OPS at .880". Daron Sutton, Wow.

It sure takes all the fun out of watching Burnitz go yard when he does it against the Brewers.

[Sheets4theHOF]

this is a frustrating game. Ben's been battling and the brewers can't get anything going.

[ja002h]

They must be waiting for Hawkins and the 9th.

[PeaveyFury]

What a crappy outing for Sheets.

[Sheets4theHOF]

Game--this game has really ticked me off. Way too much like last year's crew.

[RyDogg66]

Listening to the game on the radio, it sounds like Sheets didn't have much out there today. The Cubs did a great job working the count, which is much more than I can say for the Brewers, they sounded like they were lost out there today.

BrewerFan.net props on audio!

I was really hoping to see the bullpen today, not looking too likely, always hope for the 9th!! Zambrano is well within the 190 pitch count of Dusty Baker

[batman]

Another visit to the mound by the trainer. I wonder if his arm would literally have to fall off in order for the Cubs to remove him.

 

This is one game out of 162. If you win this one but lose Zambrano, you're in trouble.

 

He's only throwing 90-92 now.

 

Grr.

 

~Bill

[pitchleague]

FINALLY, someone lays off a high fastball!

[rwa12]

and i get to eat my words...very happy to see fox!!

[batman]

Turnbow looked pretty good. His fastball is a lot heavier than I remember it... very Kolb-esque, actually.

 

Good to see.

 

~Bill

[ja002h]

Time to LaBlow another save.

[ja002h]

Blech. What garbage.

[brettac1]

The thing is, any right thinking manager pulls Zambrano in the 1st, yet Duddy stays with him. No team in the league would have done much better today.

[squarepusher]

Let's try and get 2 out of 3 tomorrow, boys.

 

Don't forget to tune into the Nashville game tonight... They've been mashing.

[razzzorsharp]

You know who i blame this on? You! I am talking to those that complained that the Brewers left too many Brewers on base when they won the game. How many did they leave on today? Are you happy now!
