  1. GOGOGOGOGO ROCKIES.....tied up with 2 out in the 9th. EDIT: Scotty PoPo starts the rally.
  2. I really, really, don't like him, but A-Ram has got to be the most clutch hitter in the league. He seems to always hit the late go-ahead homer.
  3. And lest we forget, Bush did ok. 4 runs in 6 innings ain't too bad against a team like the Phillies.
  4. Man, I am truly happy for Turnbow. That must have felt great. Fantastic work.
  5. Hey! The Rockies scored! It's amazing how every Cubs starter is lights-out right now. Even at Colorado (it's not like the Rockies are doing great this year, but it's still AT Colorado).
  6. Surprisingly, it's happened a few times: 1938,1939,1940 - Ernie Lombardi, Bucky Walters, Frank McCormick (CIN)1942,1943,1944 - Mort Cooper, Stan Musial, Marty Marion (STL) 1941,1942,1943 - Joe DiMaggio, Joe Gordon, Spud Chandler (NYY) 1961,1962,1963 - Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard (NYY - Maris also won in 1960)
  7. All in the same season?
  8. My best case scenario within some sort of reason: Bush leaves after 7, we're up 6-2, and Turnbow pitches the final two innings (and we win).
  9. It is much, much harder to pitch when you are injured than it is to play the field and hit. If it's your throwing arm that is hurt, you will not be as effective, and with the repeated stressful movement, you run a greater risk of making it worse. If it's an injury to a leg, you still may be able to throw, but your power and/or mechanics will be probably be affected. Not only will this also reduce effectiveness, but it is very possible that you would overcompensate in some other way, creating more injury problems. If it's a back problem, good luck trying to pitch. I'm not sure what a "gamer" is, but I do know that a pitcher who throws when he is injured usually hurts his team's chances of winning and puts his future appearances in further jeopardy.
  10. Wow, let's not overreact to a guy feeling good about his red hot, first place team. Jeez.
  11. I love ole Jenks, but I hope he goes 0-4 with two strikeouts tomorrow. I'd be happy with a solo shot, but Bush goes the distance and the Brewers win 10-1.
  12. If I counted correctly, Gross was 6 for his last 15 AB's (.400) and 13 for his last 22 PA's (.591). Personally, I liked the guy. I always felt that if he got the chance to hit a regular basis, he could be pretty solid.
  13. Weeks: 2-5, 1 BB, 2 R, 3 RBI Braun: 2-5. 2 RBI Fielder: 3-3, 2 BB Hart: 1-3 Gross: 2-4, 2 BB, 3 R, 1 BIG SB Mota: 2 IP, 0 R McClung: 1 IP, 0 R, 2 K
  14. Without looking at stats, I'd have to say that, on the whole, our bullpen has been quite good so far this year.
  15. They had 2 on, 1 out last inning, but couldn't cash in. It would be nice if the one quality opponent the Cubs have faced would actually perform well against them.
  16. MEMORANDUM Date: April 22, 2008 To: National League Central The Brewers bats are coming. Enjoy. Also, Friday is pizza day. Thank you, Milwaukee
  17. Don't look now, but Gabe Gross, counting today, is 5 for his last 13 (.385). He's also gotten on base 10 of his last 18 PA's (.556).
  18. I am not watching - how bad was Prince's baserunning mistake? Was it obvious that the ball wasn't getting far past the catcher because of Lohse backing it up, or was it just an unfortunate circumstance?
  19. Methinks Braunie is starting to find his stroke. Average over .250 now.
  20. You are giving several position players way too much credit for dismal performances so far.

  22. It doesn't make any sense. If Yost has so little faith in him that he pretty much never pitches, then don't pitch him in the 9th inning in a tie game, especially after having not pitched in approximately forever. If he has enough faith in him to throw him in that situation, then put him in more often to keep him sharp (as sharp as Turnbow can be) and to maintain his confidence. Look, I don't think Turnbow is particularly good, but when you have to knock the rust off in a pressure situation as boos rain down from your home crowd, you are not being put in a position to have any sort of success. The Brewers either need to pitch him more often or get rid of him (the latter option makes more sense). His current role is pointless.
