07/16/2004: Brewers (Santos) at Cubs (Clement)

[brewers19]

Yes, it's tied.

What CAN Bennett do?

[brewers19]

Thank you Clement!

[jvrocksaz]

Funny how I find myself happy that Bennett didn't hit into a double play... I will actually take the foulout!!! That is sad....

[batman]

Ok, someone needs to explain what just happened. I think JP did a good job, but that didn't make any sense. Hall started stealing before Clement pitched, and then Clement just chilled on the rubber and uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Hall to go to third?

 

Bonehead play by Hall, I presume?

 

Nice hit, Brooks.

Oh yeah Brooks!! 3-2!!

[brewers19]

Alright Kiesh!!!! 3-2 Brewers!

[LV Brewer Fan]

Hall should have been out. He started his move to second 1-2 seconds before Clement started his delivery. Then Clement missed badly inside and Hall proceeded to third base. However it happened the results are great!!!!!!

[jvrocksaz]

All it took was a harmless bennett foul bunt(no DP) to keep the inning alive!!!! (This comment was intended to be a joke, although true!!!)

[ja002h]

Home in time to witness a lead change!!! Yessssss http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

It sounds like Hall left for second because he thought he could beat the SS or 2nd baseman to second... which seems questionable. And then Clement appearantly was thinking about what Pods will be doing after the game tonight.

 

I'll take it... even tho it will probably never happen again in our lifetime.

This just in.................LeeAnn Tweeden is above average lookinghttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

[brewers19]

Hey Blazin, how do you post pictures and the like?

[ja002h]

Nice call on Adams.

Why would Yost throw Bennett twice in the same week? That's what 13 pitchers are for! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Bruce Ciskie]

Ken won on Jeopardy again if anyone cares. $50K today. What a freak.

 

Speaking of freaks, has Chip Caray said anything stupid today? Have those idiots learned how to pronounce "Podsednik" yet?

[ja002h]

Adams, you're still the man.

[batman]

I don't know if this was mentioned on the broadcasts, but the Cubs activated RHP Todd Wellemeyer from the disabled list and optioned Brendan Harris to Triple-A Iowa before the game. I'm not sure if Wellemeyer is available or not, but that means Ordonez, Bako, and Walker are the only healthy Cubs on the bench now.

[brewers19]

Thanks Bruce, I was just going to ask if anyone knew. I realized I missed it a few minutes after it ended; stupid me.

[endaround]

Anyone know why Walker didn't play today? Or why Goodwin came off the Bench before Walker?

 

EDIT:Aside from the fact, that well its a day game and he is white...

[SlideBernieSlide]

Some props to Victor. If he keeps pitching like that in the day, might have to remove that Sleepy/Vampire nickname. Besides a mistake to Clement on a 2-2 count, Santos was extremely solid today and rightfuly in line for a win today.

[batman]

Todd Walker hasn't been playing much at all... he only has eleven at-bats this month. The Cubs' faithful are in "Free Walker" mode, but Dusty prefers Grudzy I guess.

 

And Tom Goodwin is a proven professional hitter , and so that's why he gets to pinch-hit first.

 

Also, remember how I said yesterday that Kyle Farnsworth had missed some time with arm soreness? Remember how I said that he had been pitching with incredible frequency? Now he's back, and Dusty uses him on consecutive days. Give the dude a break, Dusty... he's white!

Victor Santos is a stud

[Bruce Ciskie]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's ragged on Dusty a bit for those stupid remarks from last year.

[endaround]

Hey, Bill look at BP's PAP lately? You know Dusty mut be kicking himself that Wood hasn't been healthy enough to challenge Schmidt for the most stress points in the game. Schmidt now has a lead that even Dusty might not be able to top.

[hawing]

Some props to Victor. If he keeps pitching like that in the day, might have to remove that Sleepy/Vampire nickname.

 

Maybe a 2:20 start is just late enough (compared to 1:05). http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Plus there was that rain delay.

 

And thanks for the score clarification. I thought it was weird to read the "finally on the board" comment a while back when no score appeared for the Brewers. Now it all makes sense and I have scorned ESPN for the time being.
