Not a bad lineup. I'd rather see Jenkins further down in the order, but all in all it's OK.

[squarepusher]

This lineup is lacking in grit.

[7rebmun]

Branyan is going to surpass Jenkins in HRs soon . . .

[DuWayne Steurer]

Branyan could very well be 2nd on the team in homers in 2-3 weeks if he stays hot. I don't know how to feel about that........

[DuWayne Steurer]

This game isn't even on WGN?

 

What is it about the Cubs, usually they're on about 17 national channels, but when they're playing the Brewers, they're not on TV at ALL!?!?

[stkmtimo]

And the Brewers are down already! Thanks Brady.

Rare error by maddux... Pods with another steal!

[rluzinski]

Clark mess up in the first? Nice to Jenkins back on track defensively, throwing out a runner at 3rd.

 

Hall just LIVES on the 2-1 fastball http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Game tied, 1-1.

[stkmtimo]

Bill Hall singles in Scott Podsednik!

According to Steve Stone the Cubs have never made an out while at bat and no one should ever reach base or be safe against them.

[rluzinski]

2 on branyan up and up 2-0!

 

EDIT: OUCH, K

[homer]

Stone is the Bill Laimbeer of baseball announcers.

[homer]

Jenkins will go deep.

 

EDIT: I RULE!!!! I had just typed the period when he hit that. Honest.

[rluzinski]

JENKINS!!!! 3 run bomb!!

 

I hate Maddox and the Cubs..... this might be a good day!

[phxMILWfan]

Hell of a call there Homer! YESSSSS!!!!!

[stkmtimo]

Homer - You were right! 4-1 Crew.

 

Time to bench Branyan for the rest of the year, he struck out!

[phxMILWfan]

Unusual occurance for the Brewers to score on Maddux according to Stone. Alien sighting even.

[rluzinski]

During Autralia's win in the Olympics:

 

"Catcher Dave Nilsson, formerly of the Chunichi Dragons, went 3-for-5 for Australia with an RBI and two runs scored. "

 

MOELLER almost hit that one out?

[phxMILWfan]

Moellers fly didn't quite make the warning track

[squarepusher]

Dave Nilsson's like the Rolling Stones. He doesn't get any better, and just refuses to go away.

[davego]

C'mon Cappy

[endaround]

Capuano is really off today. Walking Goodwin?

[stkmtimo]

Tied ballgame.
