6/24/2004 - Rockies (Cook) @ Brewers (Sheets)

[JaNelson52]

Big Ben tries to lead the Crew to its fifth straight winning series.

 

If the Brewers are patient at the plate today, they will score a ton of runs. Aaron Cook, while he throws hard, walks quite a few people

 

Lefties vs. Cook:

 

2004: .333/418/.590, 1.007 OPS

Last three years: .332/.411/.471, .882 OPS

 

If Ben Grieve doesn't start today, he should pull a Jon Rauch and just leave the stadium.

An 8-4 homestand just sounds and looks so much better than 7-5. Come on Sheetsie, Git-R-Done!!

You'd think our lefty-stacked lineup would fare rather well today.

Would've been nice to have Sheets out there going for the "3 game winning streak," but 8-4 would still be great. Can't scoff at going from 1-over to 5-over on a homestand.

[brettac1]

Grieve's in the line-up today. Appears Ned has broken one of his own rules: it is illegal to start Ben Grieve against lefties.

[whizkid]

Cook's a righty.

Boy, do I look like a dumb-ass now - sorry, don't know what I was thinking there.

[brewcrewkid14]

I am guessing that the Brewer game isn't on TV. Gosh that sucks!!

[ja002h]

Aaah, nothing better than a listening to Brewer baseball at work. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[ja002h]

Out in order after leadoff single.

K kount: 2

[ja002h]

There's a hit Spivey

[ja002h]

Well at least we're spankin the ball so far. Bodes well.. (jinx alert)

3 liners for outs

[ja002h]

Sheets 2nd:

1-out double wasted

nice leaping catch at the wall by Jenks!

K kount: 3

[ja002h]

swinging bunt by Gint. Guess that's better than a liner at someone

 

... aaaand Grieve with another line shot. Ergh.

[ja002h]

Make em pay Ben

 

... no dice.

[homer]

I hope this Cook dude doesn't settle down. Sounds like he's getting ripped and getting lucky.

 

 

EDIT: If you were to read that out of context you'd think this guy was single, drunk, and scoring with the ladies on a regular basis.

[endaround]

Another intentional walk of Counsell. So has he just surpassed his career high this week?

[ja002h]

lol homer

[ja002h]

Sheets 3rd:

1-2-3

K kount: 4

[rluzinski]

Spivey is on fire, Reese is hurt.....

 

TRADE HIM! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[SenatorShriv]

I was really ticked when I turned on the TV, and saw a darts tournament being shown instead of the game, but then I was strangely drawn to the competition.

 

Don't worry though, I'm back to listening to the game. temporary insanity.

[igor67]

I was just looking at the Rockie OF Burnitz in center and Sweeney in LF???? An old Walker in RF. Put the ball in the air, and keep running.

[ja002h]

meh. No liners this inning.

[ja002h]

Yeah, there's some gaps to be found there for sure.

 

Boston have anybody useful to us?

[ja002h]

Sweeney jacks one out. 2-0
