08/29/2004 - Brewers (Obie-wan) at Phillies (Lidle)

[ja002h]

Young Obie-wan is on a mission today: To help the Crew not lose #11 in a row. And I obviously haven't been paying attention, because I thought Cory Lidle still was in Cinci...

 

Lineup:

 MILWAUKEE PHILADELPHIA AVG HR RBI AVG HR RBI Scott Podsednik CF .249 11 32 Jimmy Rollins SS .281 8 50 Craig Counsell SS .246 2 20 Jason Michaels LF .247 4 18 Lyle Overbay 1B .313 14 76 Bobby Abreu RF .288 27 93 Ben Grieve RF .260 7 29 Jim Thome 1B .283 38 88 Geoff Jenkins LF .253 20 67 Chase Utley 2B .273 12 51 Russell Branyan 3B .250 6 15 Placido Polanco 3B .273 12 32 Keith Ginter 2B .247 11 36 Mike Lieberthal C .255 12 44 Gary Bennett C .208 2 17 Marlon Byrd CF .224 4 27 Wes Obermueller RHP .357 0 5 Cory Lidle RHP .130 0 2 (4-6, 6.32) (7-12, 5.57) 

[Fike85]

I predict that the final score will be:

 

Brewers: 2

Phillies: 5

darn you batman.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[DHonks]

couldn't we have Obermueller batting 7th or 8th, or would that be too crazy a thought?

You can't stop my love of Keith Ginter... you can't even hope to contain it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nice to see Ginter back, and hopefully Grieve knocks in some runs at cleanup. I'd prefer to have Obie batting ahead of Gary Bennett, actually!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Holy crap, 6 lefties in a row to start the lineup. Nedly must be hoping to overwhelm Lidle with numbers.

[DHonks]

RoCo, I'm just waiting for Ned to resort to randomly pulling his lineup from a hat (as in, he sets his 9, then draws for batting order)

[ja002h]

Well that certainly couldn't produce FEWER runs, could it?

[ja002h]

Well there goes the no-no.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif On the first batter of the day.

 

edit: Well there goes the shutout. On the second batter. Sigh. Are we there yet?

 

3 batters, no outs. Hendrickson could do this.

 

Hallelujah! GIDP.

 

Well that certainly could have been worse. Keep it up Wes.

[stkmtimo]

Daron just said "Cory Lidle has never hit a major league home run." Next pitch by Wes - boom, Lidle takes him deep.

 

Tim

[ja002h]

Thanks Daron, we owe you.

[Fike85]

We have 3-4-5 coming up!

[ja002h]

I can only assume that was sarcastichttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[shelmark]

Send the message Ned and bench Grieve right now. There is no excuse for not catching that ball.

[ja002h]

Well, the excuse for Ben is that he plain sucks on defense

[stkmtimo]

Grieve shows his defensive prowess once again. LOL.

 

Tim

[stkmtimo]

Oh yeah, and if I hear Schroeder say "No doubt about it" one more time...!

 

Tim

[DHonks]

Uecker really layed into Grieve on the broadcast.

[DHonks]

Pods with two hits, but his best hit ball was the one he was robbed of a single on in the first. Of course, it goes both ways, as Uecker was saying his second hit should have been an error

[stkmtimo]

What did Uecker say about Grieve?

 

Tim

[ja002h]

Can we stop the Obie experiment yet?

[ja002h]

This team is depressing. One more day til we go to work for Webb's

[stkmtimo]

Well, Byrd just hit a grand slam off of Liriano...this team looks like garbage!
