Can I say yet that Dana will not be with Milwaukee? He sure is playing his way out real fast.

And if I remember correctly, when Sheets was on the DL we had a winning record.

Trying to change the subject before someone jumps off a bridge, how have the Brewers scored there runs?

Phoenix - Right-hander Ben Sheets will make his second exhibition start as the Milwaukee Brewers face Oakland this afternoon at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. Sheets, who missed the last six weeks of last season with a torn latissimus dorsi muscle, allowed two runs, four hits and a walk in two innings during his inaugural spring start last week, also against Oakland. Sheets did not throw any curveballs in that game and said later that he felt a bit tentative. He felt good during a throwing session this week and expects to throw his breaking ball today in a stint that is slated for three innings or 50 pitches. Here is the complete Brewers' lineup for the game: 1. Tony Gwynn, Jr., cf 2. Zach Sorensen, 2b 3. J.J. Hardy, ss 4. Geoff Jenkins, rf 5. Prince Fielder, 1b 6. Jeff Cirillo, 3b 7. Corey Hart, lf 8. Gabe Gross, dh 9. Chad Moeller, c Starting pitcher: Ben Sheets Relievers: Kane Davis (1 inning); Dennis Sarfate (2 innings), Mitch Stetter (1 inning), Jason Kershner (1 inning). Minor-league reserves: RHP Brett Evert, Robert Hinton, LHP Steve Hammond, RHP Alec Zumwalt, OF Steve Moss, OF Drew Anderson, 3B Matthew Gamel, SS Ryan Crew. You gotta hand it to the Journal Sentinel for stepping up the coverage this year. I really like seeing these lineups posted early on their site. Looks like Sheets is gonna break out the curve today so well see where he is at. Is it just me or is Ned given a lot of days off this year compared to years past. Rickie, Geoff, JJ all seem to be going 2 on 2 off. I dont remember it being like that last year?

Did Nedly run up to him and give him a great big hug and say he was proud? Should have.

Nothing like scoring a run with 2 walks and a HBP. 6 runs on only 6 hits, I hope stuff like this happens all year long.

Phoenix - First baseman Prince Fielder, sidelined since Saturday with a strained right elbow, will return to the Milwaukee starting lineup during an exhibition game against Kansas City this afternoon at Maryvale Baseball Park. Here is the complete lineup: 1. Brady Clark, cf. 2. Zach Sorensen, ss 3. Rickie Weeks, 2b 4. Nelson Cruz, rf 5. Prince Fielder, 1b 6. Bill Hall, 3b 7. Gabe Gross, lf 8. Damian Miller, c 9. Dave Bush, p. Other pitchers: Zach Jackson, Jason Kershner, Jose Capellan, Matt Wise, Dan Kolb, Wilfredo Rodriguez. I am looking forward to seeing Bush's secnd outing and that of Jackson as well. Also Fielder returns to the lineup.

Funny story. I have Gwynn in Baseball Mogul and 13 years he has 2 homers and averages about 50 steals a year. I think the game underestimated the machoness of Tony.

Anyone have any insight into how we scored the runs that inning. I see JJ and TGJ at homers but how did everythin else happen?

So JJ isnt having such a bad spring, two hits today. I have to stop hanging on every box score.

Nevermind about that Dana redeeming himself thing I spoke of. I believe I jinxed him.

Dana seemed to redeem himself there in that inning limiting the damage. Cappy seemed to hit th perverbial spring training innings wall. And yes this spring does seem to be a struggle for JJ.

Any update on the Giants game 7-3 at last check?

So there is no way I can listen to the game without a paid subscription? That stinks, someone better give me a play by play. I will be forever indebted to the person who keeps those of us without subscriptions updated.
