7/27/2004: Brewers (Sheets) v. Cubs (Maddux)

[burniebrewer]

Bases juiced for everybody's whipping boy, Clark. C'mon Brady.

[burniebrewer]

Good to see Maddux's old strike zone has returned with tonight's umpire. UGH!!

[DHonks]

Jenks?? Single??

 

yeah, great to see him not overswing and just dump it into left. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

[AJAY]

Anyone seen the movie Ground Hog Day? I feel like Bill Murray watching the same thing everyday. A bunch of runners on early and nobody can drive them in.

 

Look for Maddux to settle down and cruise from here.

[AJAY]

WOW

 

What a catch.

[bucksbeat]

Web Gem...

[hawing]

Do you think hyp-mo-tizing the Brewers would get their RISP bats back? I'm running out of ideas.

[shelmark]

Think about this...we acquire a new 3B to liven up our pathetic hitting and who does Yost move to accomodate our new hitter....The best hitter on the team!! I stated this earlier but I'm so ticked I can't get over it...NO WAY you move Overbay and have a career strikeout batting after Jenks...aargh...BTW...nice catch Brady.

[AJAY]

I guess it does say something about your lineup when your cleanup hitter is a guy who just got called up from Triple A and has been a career journey man.

[DHonks]

Ben with a 9 pitch inning...way to get back on track.

 

And boy, Branyon's swing sure looks pretty. One of those sweet swings where it's max-effort, but doesn't look like it. Kind of like when JEnkins is swinging right it looks smooth.

[brewcrewkid14]

It was nice to see Sheets work quickly in that inning, especially after the first.

[brewcrewkid14]

WHY DO THEY KEEP LOOKING AT 3RD STRIKES?!?!?!?!?!?

[AJAY]

#@!$

 

I thought that was gone.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I'm sure someone will think I have something personal against Mr. Branyan, but I'd rather see Michael Jordan batting cleanup. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif

[7rebmun]

Hey Darron Sutton . . . I hear Greg Maddux has 298 career wins, maybe you should drop that line again . . . [/sarcasm]

[brettac1]

Wow, Sheets is just dealing tonight!

[AJAY]

That curveball just isn't working tonight.

 

*sigh*

[stkmtimo]

The Crew is starting to look worse and worse every single day. Branyan should not be in cleanup (I agree with that). Also noticed Moeller's fascination with the high fastball. You'd think he'd realize that the opposing team probably knows thats all he does when the batter has 2 strikes, so they're either ready to jump on it or lay off of it.

One more run for the Cubs and it will take the Brewers a week to match their run production.

[ja002h]

Oh goodness. So is the Sheets domination over now? Or just a baaaaad 2 games?

[JaNelson52]

This club is on the verge of a monumental collapse, folks...

[brewcrewkid14]

Man nothing is going the Brewers way.

[JaNelson52]

Another GIDP.

 

Ah, its nice to have our best hitter in the #3 hole.

 

Oh, wait....

[batboy37]

I know Jenks hits the ball hard today, but he should not be batting 3rd again this season. Too many chances have been wasted.

[stkmtimo]

I know we haven't seen much of him, but is it just me that thinks Russ Branyan is a DFA candidate just waiting to happen?
