  1. ace pitchers don't get blisters! seriously, I hope he's alright for his start against Peavy.
  2. hey, but that's a whole 192 points higher than MY career average in the majors. He is the man!
  3. and . . . . a win! and. . . . bed time! (and I live in AZ!)
  4. Dangit Ueker, your killing me here. "Get up, get up, get outta here, FOUL, for JJ" I know this was from a while ago, but in Uecker's defense, Vin Scully's exact call was, "drive to left . . . . and . . . . gone! . . . . foul!" It was a tough call from the press box, I imagine.
  5. if the #2 hitter needs to work the count, then Counsell belongs there, IF you are moving Hardy to #3 and Prince to #4. I would go with Gwynn RF Counsell 3B Hardy SS Fielder 1B Jenkins LF Estrada C Hart/Gross RF Graffinino 3B Pitcher P but that's me. edit: Wow, you know, after posting this, I think this is the first time I have EVER made a mock lineup for the Brewers and posted it on this site.
  6. Dear Brewers, *sigh* Sincerely, pitchleague
  7. Dear Brewers, I hope our relationship hasn't gone sour. You left us to visit the East Coast for a week for what you called a "tough stretch" and came back a changed team. Please go back to what you were before. I miss you and I need you in my life every day. I realize that you have to go on another "business trip" next week, this time to the West Coast. At the very least, can you please show me your "true self" before leaving, lest I have an image to remind me of you and your beautiful self. You are the inspiration in my life and I don't want you to change into some team that gets throttled on a regular basis. I liked the "new" you from the moment you won a game on April 2nd. With love and respect always, pitchleague
  8. It's May 18th and we're still 10 over .500 Yeah, they played like crap after the first inning. I'd rather get all the crap games out of the way now and play for real in June/July and onward.
  9. eh, it happens. It's also early. And we're facing a guy named Boof. What is this? TeenWolf Three?
  10. Good win. Nice to see Sheets do the job and send us home with a win. I tivoed the game and watched it when I got home. That double in the 9th was hammered. Can't believe it hit the top of the wall. Great call by the umps, though. They were spot on correct. Hope to see 2 or 3 wins this weekend on the tube. Go Brewers!
  11. brewcrew, I'm down with that lineup. I might switch around the #6 and #7 spots in the lineup, though. Eh, what do I know?
  12. should we make all posts before the first pitch all negative and assuming that we'll be swept, etc.? In that vein, the Brewers stink. I'm GLAD GLAD GLAD that I'll be at work and can't watch this game. In fact, I'm not even going to do the Gameday thing and check the score--that's how awful they are!
  13. gotta get something else going this inning. Nobody out yet, so who knows.
  14. I'm glad I've been playing MVP baseball during this one. Of course, I was held to 2 hits by Adam Eaton. Yay JJ!
  15. anytime it wants to start pouring is fine with me. Oh, wait, they changed the rain out rule. Isn't it just a suspended game now?
  16. another one of my shows that I watch (Jericho) is rumored to be cancelled after one season. And it ended on a cliff hanger, sort of. I'm sick of that happening. Might as well not watch any new shows anymore.
  17. Well, that blows! Guess we'll have to get the next two so we can all be correct about a 3-4 road trip. Sorry for the glass half-full optimism. It's all I can do to not shove my laptop to the floor.
  18. My theory from Page 2 of this thread seemed to be proven right there. YAY ESTRADA!!!!!!!
  19. no, he was out. Good call. Well, now we get to answer somebody's question from this board about Turnbow. The ol' "I'll believe he is back completely from 2006 after he gets out of a jam after his first 2007 meltdown." or something like that.
  20. well, was that one Ned's fault? I guess we can't really blame Ned too much if the bullpen blows up tonight. Although, we all know he is managing from the tunnel.
  21. although I don't agree with it, I can understand why Mench and Estrada are always swinging at first pitches. Theoretically, a pitcher wants to get ahead of a hitter. Thus, they are more likely to throw a strike with the first pitch to a batter, or at least come close. Now, granted, not every pitcher does this with resounding success, which is where Mench and Estrada are in the wrong. They're swinging at first pitches like it's batting practice, sometimes without regard to where said first pitch is located. Thus, popups and weak grounders result. But notice that sometimes, they are right on it and hit it hard (either a hit or an out). They played their percentages correctly on those at bats, that the pitcher did, indeed, throw a good first pitch strike. Again, I'm not condoning it. I, too, agree that they need to take some pitches and work the count a little bit at least. But I can at least sort of see their reasoning (if it is, in fact, their reasoning) for swinging at the first pitch.
  22. I almost called that one. Jiminy Beeswax. At least I'm not saying any of the "THAT'S IT WITH THIS TEAM! I'M DONE WATCHING THIS GARBAGE!" kind of stuff like I've read here in past seasons. One game will not break the season. (unless, Turnbow collapses for the rest of the season like last year as a result of tonight. I'll reserve the right to change my opinion on the "break the season" comment in about a month.)
  23. batting around. Helms is going granny. You know it to be true.
