08/24/2004 - Brewers (Capuano) at Cubs (Clement)

Ben "No I'm not a Butcher" Grieve...give the guy some credit, he used to be able to hit! If only he hadn't had that blood clot last year, he may have put up some great numbers...

JP just called this one of the ugliest outings of the season. And he's the upbeat one.

 

And now Jeff Bennett's warming up. It's Pitching Showcase Night. Lord-a-mitey, I can't even think of a cliche that expresses what I've felt these last two games.

 

Bad. Yuck. Boo.

[Shampoo4U]

Too bad the Brewers didn't have a better weather forecast-- they would have played worse in the beginning and hoped for a rainout.

[Shampoo4U]

Now Sutton thinks that Ramirez is sitting out is a smart move since he is hurting.

Sure glad I turned on the comedy.

[burniebrewer]

I know it's sacreligious to watch WGN, but Uecker's on the air in the 7th and singing the stretch tonight. Root, root, root, for the Brewers!!

[ja002h]

Hey,Uecker's on WGN!

 

edit: D arn you burnie

[DuWayne Steurer]

Yeah, and earlier he was chewing him out because he didn't run out a pop up that fell in the infield. Said it was "inexcusable" that he wasn't already on 2nd base.

[batman]

So apparently Glendon Rusch was available... weird.

[Shampoo4U]

Better to listen to the comedy on FSN and hear the debate on Mary Ann and Ginger.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Ehhh.........this season's gotten so painful to bear, that listening to these 2 goofs doesn't even bother me at this point.

 

Bob Uecker rules.

[DuWayne Steurer]

And out comes the tarp.

 

Is there any reason to wait for the rain to end? Just call it already.

[batman]

Yeah for rain delays. Too bad they couldn't have done this before Matt Wise had to pitch in a downpour and Lyle Overbay had to almost break his ankle in the batter's box mud.

 

Hopefully, this is low point in the season.

 

~Bill

[Shampoo4U]

Just wait the 30 minutes and call the game.

[stkmtimo]

I agree - call the game.

 

Does anyone think Doug Davis will get the win tomorrow? I have a strange feeling he will...I hope so at least.

 

Tim

[Shampoo4U]

I think there is a rule that they must wait 30 minutes before calling a game.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Well they should also have a mercy rule of some sort that should take precedence over some silly 30 minute rule!

[burniebrewer]

Sorry ja002h, I was listening to the game tonight and heard them talking about Ueck going over to WGN's booth. I had inside info.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[stkmtimo]

He even sung "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and said "Root, root, root for the Brewers"...nice job, Ueck.

 

Tim

[rluzinski]

rain delay = mercy rule....

[burniebrewer]

stkmtimo- He gets one game every year when he sings "Take Me Out" and he always says "Root for the Brewers". Cub fans used to hate it, but now they "get it". And that is the last nice thing I'll EVER say about a Cub fan.

[cirillo26]

Wow, I'm sure glad I missed this one.

 

Just got home, looked at the box score, ouch!!!

 

I hope they do not continue this embarassment (game),

[batman]

Game on again at 10:33 CDT.

 

Burba is on the mound, Durrington is playing third, and Branyan moves over to first.

 

Hopefully Overbay isn't hurt... he nearly fell coming out of the batter's box before the rain delay.

I'm glad they finally get it. Ueck is a class act...it's hard to say that about some of the Cubs fans...

[DuWayne Steurer]

What's wrong with me?

 

I KNEW that this game was a slaughter.

 

I was watching something else on tv. Yet, when I read that the game was on again, I turned it back on, KNOWING the Brews were getting KILLED.

 

What is wrong with me?!?!?

[RobertR]

I watched the Cubs jump all over Capuano and it's gotten to the point where I don't feel anything anymore about this collection of band aids and stopgaps. There's no magic button Yost can push, there's no single roster move that Melvin can make that will turn this around, they're just a bad team headed for another high draft pick.

 

I hope Overbay is o.k. I hope Sheets, Davis and Adams finish the year strong. I hope Bill Hall eventually learns to take a walk. Quite frankly, I don't expect anyone else on the current roster to have any sort of role on the next good Brewers team. My emotional investment in this group is just about done, at least until next season.
