08/25/2004 - Brewers (Davis) @ Cubs (Maddux)

[hawing]

Sweet, merciful rain. Keep falling.

[deeswan]

Unfortunately, this is the type of lineup you have to deal with when you have the lowest payroll in the Major Leagues. It really sucks, but until we start spending money or bringing up our prospects, this is the card we are dealt.

 

True, but you also have to take into account that there are 4 starters missing, plus Ginter, and Grieve has been hurting. Certainly the Brewers lack depth, but there are a lot of teams that would suffer greatly missing that many regulars.

[rluzinski]

What is up with Ginter's injury anyway?? I've heard nothing.

[Member]

Ginter is rehabbing in Indy. Last night he played the field, which I assume is a good sign.

1 2 3 I hope whomever said you have to get on first to steal is not right since that is obvious! Shake it up and see what happens. So far one ground out and two K's

[RoseBowlMtg]

2 complete and the Crew is tied 0-0!

[davego]

Doug Davis, thow a two-hitter and hit a solo shot to win it! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/nerd.gif

[rluzinski]

ANOTHER error by Bill Hall.

[Vgmastr]

At least we have one pitcher left who hasn't decided to play like total crap after the All-Star break.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Brewers up 1-0!

 

Durrington gets on and runs on Counsell's ground out to second taking them out of a double play.

 

Clark the #4 hitter loops one into left for an RBI single.

 

Clark steals second on the first pitch!

 

Way to go Ned!

[ja002h]

Bako homer's bottom 5 to tie it.

 

Thought this was humorous, from the notes today:

 

With Jenkins and Overbay unavailable and Russell Branyan on a strikeout rampage, the snip around Wrigley Field on Wednesday was that if Wes Helms can't crack this lineup, he may never play again.

 

 

hahahahahaha

Sharpie's so solid.

 

1R, 4K thru 5...

 

edit: Here's a fun stat:

Pitchcount thru 5:

Davis: 82

Maddux: 55

 

So Doug definitely won't get more than 7 in, if that.

[tyguy20204]

At this rate Maddux will throw a CG.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Alright Moises must have been thinking of pi$$ing on his hands and spaces out on the base paths!

 

Now lets small ball them!

 

1-1 thru 7

[RoseBowlMtg]

BTW: Philly just got swept by Houston, after sweeping Milwaukee, after they lost 7 games in a row before that.

 

Think Philly is looking forward to facing Milwaukee again?

[RobertR]

I think Philly is looking forward to life after Bowa. I'm surprised he's still there.

 

Robert

[ja002h]

DD thru 7: 1R 6H 5K 96pitches.

Really economical those last 2 innings, but looks like Viz-dog will get the 8th. Another great outing for Mr. Sharpie.

 

There's a start Chad!

 

edit: DD bats, bunts into DP. wonderful.

[Vgmastr]

Maddux gives up a hit and still manages to throw only 4 pitches in the 8th.

[ja002h]

That's so sick.

[ja002h]

Nice Vizzy. Alou homers. Game over.

[madtownbrew]

2-1 Cubs. Game Over! Way to go Viscy! Blew another one for us. Is there a reason we held onto this guy at the trade deadline?

[jvrocksaz]

Why was Davis batting for himself in the bottom of the 7th if he wasn't going to come back out to pitch??? Maybe I am missing something here... Please help me if anyone has an explination!!!

[jvrocksaz]

I meant the top of the 8th... Sorry...

[hawing]

I've continued to wonder if there's a reason we held onto Viz after 2003.

 

Part of me, though, is just so grateful for Sharpie giving us as much of a chance as we had. Compared to the last two night(mare)s, if the final is "only" 2-1, I'll be almost content.

 

How sad is that?

[jvrocksaz]

C'mon guys!!! Rally, rally, the pitchers name is Sally!!!
