09/03/2007: Astros (Oswalt) at Brewers (Sheets), 1:05p.m. CT

Counsell out-grittied him, plain and simple.

[brettac1]

Why anyone would rather pitch to Counsell than Estrada is beyond me. First, he battled Oswalt out of the game, then he ended up handing him a loss in the process.

[marquettefan13]

Was Estrada holding his hamstring there?

[SlideBernieSlide]

Love Sheeter's energy and positive vibes. Besides having our Ace back. Good to have that energy back!

[COOOOP]

Watching Estrada score was like watching a cement truck go uphill with two flat tires and a broken axle. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[JET15]

That was like slow motion

[marquettefan13]

Cubs up 1-0 on leadoff Soriano homer.

"Get on your horse Johnny!" lol

 

That was great to hear Brian yell that one. What an inning, what a game. What a different feel this team has since Sheets has come back. Ditto SBS, it was great to see Sheets' enthusiasm there.

Awesome at bat by Counsell there...Estrada even scored from 1st, albeit that was about as slow as you can possibly be. That was ugly. Almost as ugly as his attempt to get to third.

Agreed. He seems like a calming influence always joking around. I'm sure he said something to Johnny about how he could run faster.http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif

scrubs winning 1-0 first inning.

[BowMeHunter]

Johnny had her on cruise control - I'm still laughing and screaming!

 

Chat room must have PMS today. Still can't get in there.

Was Estrada holding his hamstring there?

Ya, when he was walking back to the dugout he put his hand on his hamstring and it looked to me like he grimaced a bit in pain. (or fatigue) That definitely had its comedic valiue though, watching him chug it around the bases.

Counsell out-grittied him, plain and simple.

So he out-Ecksteined him?

 

[trwi7]

Why are we using Seth McClung?

I'm not superstitious, but I hate that you wrote this.

 

[brewcrewnation]

Why is seth pitching the 7th?

[bobskube]

McClung???

[bobskube]

Even though the guy you traded for has sucked. Why go with an unproven here to start the 7th.

 

This is why Yost should be fired at the end of the year. If you go down, go down with your best.

[brewcrewnation]

dodgers tie the scrubs

[dlk9s]

I say you don't screw around now that the first two guys are on base. Bring in a new pitcher.

[brettac1]

You would think you traded your best prospect for the guy to start innings like this, but hey, whatever.

[brewcrewnation]

get this loser out of there.

[marquettefan13]

LA tied it at 1 in the top of the 2nd.

[bobskube]

Yost pulled this same garbage last week against the Cubs that first game.

 

Hopefully, we get out of the inning only allowing one run. Just bad managing by Yost.

 

Another thought, isn't this the top of the Astros order? Why Yost? Why?
