3/31/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Cubs (Zambrano): 1:20 PM CDT

[Fear The Chorizo]

Christ, does he have to swing for the downs every time? He almost fell over with that swing

 

maybe he needs a T-bone or something!

[sheetswannabe]

Its raining again.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Stupid rain.

[phxMILWfan]

Does it look like another delay?

[azcheesehead]

I am stuck at school in Arizona and can only get a biased Cubs blog from the Tribune to know what is going on. I know Sheets is rolling, but does he look as dominant as last year's opener?

[And That]

Looks like that might be it for Sheets. Well done, sir.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Does it look like another delay?

 

I'd have to say "No" unless it picks up.

 

Another 1-2-3.

[trwi7]

92 pitches for Sheets. Is he done or another inning?

[GormanHarvey]

Bold prediction - Braun goes yard here in the top to put us up for good

[Bruce Ciskie]

If the game is delayed again, Sheets is done. If the Brewers score, Sheets is done. But if they don't score, don't get any runners, and the game keeps going, I see no reason to pull him. Let him go until he's due up again.

I managed to see about a minute of the game at the bar and they recapped his performance through only the first 2 1/3 innings. I think he struck out 4 and his curveball was looking great. Even better than last year in my opinion. Not sure about his fastball because FSN wasn't real keen on getting the MPH on the screen. Thanks FSN.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Depends if the Crew gets a rally going this inning...he's due up 5th in the inning

[sheetswannabe]

HAHA

[sheethead]

I'm hoping for one more inning from sheets.

 

The rain looks like its staying light, and this batch should move out soon. I think they are going to finish the game, given one of the teams scores a run.

[GormanHarvey]

Or not. Z just narrowly avoided a serious knee injury there

[azcheesehead]

Bold prediction gone awry. I am still thinking Gross hits the first Brewer HR in pinch hit duty.

[sheetswannabe]

Whats the point of Hall faking bunt?

[sheethead]

Bill Hall with a double?!?! C'mon Mr. Hart, big run on 2nd.

[azcheesehead]

To bring in Ramirez and then jam a shot down his throat....

[GormanHarvey]

Whats the point of Hall faking bunt?

 

So he could do that!

[sheetswannabe]

HALL!!!

[yfinn6]

Maybe to get a look at the pitches.

 

Is it just me or does Zambrano routinely get that low strike call?

[Fear The Chorizo]

That pop fly was very close to injuring either Z or Lee...wind is definitely a factor now

[Bruce Ciskie]

Probably need to get that run home here, Corey. Otherwise, it's pinch-hitter time after Hardy gets the free pass.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Whats the point of Hall faking bunt?

 

Maybe make Z throw some pitches for once?

 

Bill Hall with a laser off the wall...double!

 

Let's go Hart!
