8/17/2006 Brewers (Sheets) vs. Astros (Hirsh) 7:05 CT

[thefutureishere2006]

yeah as earlier reported the brewers can do some major gaining.

 

losers today: phillies..padres dbacks .. reds.. and hopefully the astros

 

this could be a huge series .. i am not giving up

 

we have to win this game and i think we will upset either oswalt or clemens because their run support this year is doug davis 05 like. i think we can sneek away with a split or 3 wins.

 

and about the tv : big deal......turn on uecker and jim and do some yard work lol. fire up the grill get those usingers on.... hah..

 

brewers win **cross those fingers

[Rob]

It's nice to see Jenkins in there tonight. I hope people cheer him.

[Bigtop79]

Good Luck Mr. Jenkins...we're pulling for you.

[endaround]

I'm just glad no Mench batting cleanup aginst a right hander.

[brettac1]

Outside of Bell, that lineup isn't that horrible.

[Giraldo8]

I know you aren't happy with him Brett, but imo you have to give Bell the start today after his performance yesterday. Plus I'd rather have Cirillo hit in a key PH situation than Bell .

Common Brett.....the guy won us the game yesterday. Mark my words, Taco Bell will lead us to a playoff spot this year. I like the line-up tonight....I just don't get why you publically benched Jenkins and then all of a sudden started him. They should have just told Geoff he was sitting for a while instead of making the whole thing public because if he ever did get a start at some point, it would look pretty silly...like tonight. That being said, I don't mind seeing him in there, he should be playing 2 days a week or 3 at most.

Bench players actually do get spot starts on occasion.

[Terok Balefire]

Yes and he started yesterday at first.

[giffted1]

Yost is changing things around a bit. I like it.

[tomwopat]

i am at the game. the brewers better win, or i better win at bingo, but it'll require a 7-4 or a 3 run hr.

[honuswagner21]

Does Corey Hart resemble your typical leadoff man?

[Oldcity]

I was just about to say I love Hart at leadoff. I think he might be their future leadoff hitter.

[brewers255]

a leadoff walk already? That means theres a 70% chance of them scoring, not good.

[Oldcity]

Hopefully he's just settling in, because no one in their right mind would pitch around Willy Tavares.

[B2k1121]

How is Sheets velocity? If anyone has the game.

[Oldcity]

Ha! Has Sheets ever picked anyone off?

[hurricane3184]

i think that was the first time i've seen Sheets pick some one off

[flosses like fossas]

i like this line up well enough (despite cringing at jenks...), but i wonder if this is an effort to shake things up and get us a big win or if we're getting some young guys playing time - a la september playing time - in a more creative way than just benching jenkins...

[mikevan1818]

Corey Hart will hit a HR today

 

told ya

[endaround]

You don't say

[Giraldo8]

How I love you Corey!

[flosses like fossas]

let the corey hart love parade begin..

[DannoMac21]

HARRRRT!

[thablingster]

They should really bench that Corey Hart guy, he stinks.

 

I like the power stroke http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif .
