7/23/2004: Brewers (Capuano) @ Astros (Clemens)

[ja002h]

So are we getting back in a groove, or simply using up all of our slugging for the next month in one game?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[ja002h]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

that's a huge hit.

[ja002h]

That's right. Fear the Grieve!!

[stkmtimo]

There's an insurance run on a single by Overbay. Now an intentional walk for Ben Grieve to set up a force out.

Did anyone else see Beltran about throw himself right out of his shoes?

 

CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice job Lyle, even if it was just a bloop. Looks like a liner in the box score.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Come on Moeller, CLUTCH UP!

 

Let's tack on a few more.

[ja002h]

Cmon Moeller, you've done this before...

 

Darn.

[DuWayne Steurer]

.....just not today.

 

Well, a 2 run lead gives us a little breathing room

[DuWayne Steurer]

And I'm gonna take GLEEFUL joy in this statement....

 

3 homers and 2 doubles, and, voila! RUNS!

Now this will give Ned an excuse to start Gary Bennett tomorrow to "work with Ben Hendrickson because he's young" http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

umm, very curious as to why Adams was not given the 7th, oh well go get 'em Burbs!

Did anyone else see Beltran about throw himself right out of his shoes?

 

That was pretty incredible. I think his shoes and socks actually came off in a "Brady Clark does Superman" style hurl. It was offline, which was much appreciated, but he sure didn't get cheated.

Nice work Burbs, even w the double. It's Adams time baby.

 

Ergh.

[ja002h]

Glad we have that extra run.

[DuWayne Steurer]

yuck. Looks like we're making a very solid effort to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory tonight.

[ja002h]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[batman]

Look up "unfun" in the dictionary... they just added an entry and it says: "this inning".

 

Mike is pitching in his native Texas for the first time, so it is quite likely that he is nervous. This is the second poor outing he's had in the last few weeks, and both came at the most inopportune times.

 

In hindsight, maybe the sixth really was Burba Time. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ja002h]

Finally. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUgly

[DuWayne Steurer]

Well, it's still tied, and we're scoring some runs.

 

I want this one pretty bad. Geoff Jenkins, will you hit a homerun for me!?!?!?!?!

[bernieh]

Brand new ballgame folks. Our bullpen vs. their bullpen. Good news is they've gone through most or all of their pinch-hitters already (with incredible success).

[stkmtimo]

Too bad we have to see Brady Clark get an AB or two.

 

Tim

[ja002h]

Leadoff hit baby. GIT R DONE!

[hawing]

...I off handedly predicted 6 runs for the Crew tonight...

 

RoCo, I assume you're going to revise that?

[batman]

I just fired up my home-brewed OPTIMISM GENERATOR and it gave me this:

 

It's better that we surrendered the lead here because now the offense will be able to get a late inning, clutch win. That will spur the offense's revival more than just scoring early and saving it with great relief work would.

 

Works pretty good, huh?

 

How aboot Scrap Iron, too. Bringing in Lidge in the eighth is a mighty progressive managerial move, and I gotta say I agree completely. This is a different guy than the one I remember... he talked up on-base average and downplayed the value of sac bunts in an article I read recently, too. Maybe he spent some time in SABRLAND, huh? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ja002h]

I'll TAKE that HBP!
