Sheets would do a better job hitting fourth than Helms.

[stkmtimo]

Helms will be: 0-4 tonight.

I started Pods on my fantasy team on a Nedly gut feeling!

 

Come on Pods!

[DHonks]

Helms will be 2-4 tonight with a double and 2 rbi, and a walk. yes, I'm an optimist

[RoseBowlMtg]

Well he will get 3 more at bats....hopefully!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice start.

 

Let's knock the CRAP out of Wolf and score about 5 runs in the first 3-4 innings for once.

[PeaveyFury]

Helms will be: 0-4 tonight.

 

Nope.

[batman]

Home runs even feel nice when you're in the midst of a monumental losing streak. Nice job, O.

 

Helms with a popup down the line that goes for a double. Better to be lucky than good, as Daron Sutton says every single broadcast, multiple times. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[RoseBowlMtg]

Nice optimism DHONK!

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and Helms!

[MassBrew]

Ginter up, Durrington optioned until the end of the AAA season, by the way. Keith did not arrive in time to start this one...

[batman]

Joyful Sounds, MassBrew. Thanks for the (glorious) info! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[DuWayne Steurer]

No way Grieve makes that catch.

[DHonks]

At first I thought Sheets' velocity was down, but if he struck out the last guy on a 75 mph heater, then it's just a difference in radar gun. He usually throws it 82-84. Also, I did see at least 1 changeup that inning

[DuWayne Steurer]

Did Wolf just throw an eephus pitch?

 

The arc on that thing was about 12 feet.

[tomwopat]

hall with walk #13... something is fishy here...

[DuWayne Steurer]

Hall with a walk? Moeller with ............a hit?

 

Something is seriously weird here. I'm calling it here, the losing streak is coming to a close.

[RoseBowlMtg]

OOOO, Helms and Moeller with extra base hits. This could be fun!

[batman]

This is not the Randy Wolf I remember watching in the past. Did the Phillies trade for Wayne Franklin and give him Wolf's jersey to wear?

 

We better win this one.

 

~Bill

[DuWayne Steurer]

Bill. We *will* win this game.

 

Book it!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Three runs in 1 1/3rd? NICE. I don't even know how to feel about this.

[tomwopat]

just like we were going to win the game in the last phillies series when we were up by 5 runs?

[DuWayne Steurer]

Sheets will pitch a complete game! The bullpen won't be given the OPPORTUNITY to blow it!

 

And seeings how they've said Larry Bowa WILL BE THE MANAGER til the end of the year, I'm expecting him to be fired within 5 days.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Ok, we got a few runs there, but we had 2nd & 3rd with one out, and got nothing more.

 

There's the Brewers offense we know and loathe....er, I mean love.
