5/1/08 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cubs (Zambrano): 1:20 PM CDT

[cnycerveceros]

they'll start getting meaningful hits eventually, right?

[sheethead]

I can't believe Bob sang the stretch again. Awesome.

[BrewCrewForever]

Please Riske get out of this inning with the score still 3-1.

[And That]

Why are we so awful lately with Runner in Scoring position?

Because we were ridiculously good early on. Everything evens out.

 

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

We might be able to get to the rest of their bullpen...but not Marmol. It's good we got to Cra-Z and finished with Marmol through 7...that gives us 2 shots.

[cnycerveceros]

Riske seems to equal runs lately.

[SeriesFinale]

I'll accept the bad strike calls--we got away with a big one the previous half-inning

[dlk9s]

Way to show up today offense.

I said it earlier, but I really think the offense has been fine today. Against Z, they had good AB's and hit the ball hard. Several hitters just missed big hits and we were just unfortunate that the hits weren't bunched together. The Cubs aren't hitting any better than the Brewers, yet they had some good fortune last inning, which is the difference in the game.

 

[cnycerveceros]

I tuned in late, Powell is talking about a Gallardo injury. He stayed in, right? How bad did it look?

[Blancofan1]

Dear FSN,

Please stop showing the replay of Yo hurting his knee. I almost throw up in my mouth a little bit every time.

Every team should use their "closer" the way the Cubs use Marmol. Wonder if that will ever happen.

[Ennder]

Eventually all these BABIP wonders on the Cubs will stop getting hits every AB, unfortunately it doesn't look like it will be this series.

Anybody get the feeling that Gallardo this year = Sheets circa 2004?

[And That]

Anybody get the feeling that Gallardo this year = Sheets circa 2004?

As long as Gallardo 2009-2011 does not = Sheets 2005-2007.

 

[trwi7]

He stayed in, right? How bad did it look?

 

He stayed in but we'll put it this way on how it looked. Many probably thought he was out for the year, 100% of the people who saw it thought he was going to land on the DL at bare minimum.

[Oldcity]

Anybody get the feeling that Gallardo this year = Sheets circa 2004?

Don't think that's possible, at least not the that extent. The team was so much more awful-er in 2004 than now.

 

[GormanHarvey]

Thats a hit on 99% of center fielders

[Brewer Killa]

So we are supposed to bring in Gagne in the 7th. No we should not do that.

They should bring him in at the most crucial point of the game. Happened to be the 7th today.

 

[SeriesFinale]

Oh great. Maaaaarmol

[BrewCrewForever]

Anybody get the feeling that Gallardo this year = Sheets circa 2004?

For sure, I have had that feeling.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Braun get back at those Cub fans for throwing beer on you!

[Raw Biz]

Two balls called strikes in a row. Like Marmol needs any more help.

[SeriesFinale]

That Strike One looked horrific
