08/10/2006: Cubs (Prior) @ Brewers (Davis), 1:05PM CDT

[PeaveyFury]

Can we please bench both of them now?

 

I don't want to see Gross or Clark until Sunday or so...

[Southwest Brewer]

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif that was a gimme.....come on guys.

[hawing]

Oh, my goodness. I didn't want to be right about the errorfest.

[brewers19]

Errorfest!

[mikevan1818]

Ok...cue Coco getting pissed and striking out the side.

[SeriesFinale]

Hay Mios Dio

[PrinceFielder28]

wow they are really making up for the games without an error record today...way to go brady!!!!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Wow. I get home from a media function and that's the first thing I see...makes me really happy that I haven't been home.

 

Naturally, both guys stay at their positions. I mean, why would you want to pull Gross for an inexcusable error that you wouldn't tolerate more than once from a six-year-old?

[SoCalBrewfan]

In honor of our recent draft choice, it's an Errecart. (Error cart. Get it? Maybe if MassBrew said it...or would that be Errahcaht?)

[Team Canada]

Coco is the MAN.

 

 

I like that guy.

[adamb100]

We got lucky.

[Bruce Ciskie]

And I get to see the tail end of a win anyway. Must be a good day. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[SeriesFinale]

Ugly, unexpectedly nerve-wracking win, but I'll take it

 

CREW WINS CREW WINS

[brewers19]

Well, that was interesting.

[sgtcluels]

That's 2 - 0 when I start the IGT! Hurrahy...

[bucksman4]

Good 'ol Coco! How can you NOT like the guy? He's a gamer and a battler. No wonder Ned threw him in that closer's role.

[brewers19]

No wonder Ned threw him in that closer's role.

 

That and the fact that Turnbow sucked horribly.

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

while mench has not impressed me much, coco has been the man.

 

great win, I enjoy the though that the cubs fans have to return to illinois after a loss and sit in traffic for the rest of the afternoon.

[hawing]

Hey, they won a series. That'll make the rest of the day go better.

[TauPentaRei]

what the hell, he didn't even strike anyone out.

[bucksman4]

great win, I enjoy the though that the cubs fans have to return to illinois after a loss and sit in traffic for the rest of the afternoon.

 

 

Yeah, good thought. However, they have all already forgotten about the loss. When they're that far out of contention, all they care about is making a horses rear end of themselves in Miller Park yelling out obnoxious things and chanting "Let's go Cubbies!" If they get to do that, they can leave and return back to the Chicagoland area a happy camper.

[brewmann04]

2 down and 6 to go for 500.

watch out atlanta we comming to sweep you.

Don't kid yourself Oswald, they're on their way to the Dells as we speak.

[giffted1]

I think Cordero has silenced those who opposed this trade.

[Lil Dummy]

"I think Cordero has silenced those who opposed this trade."

 

I said after the trade was made that it wasn't awful, but it wasn't great, a solid 'C'. My main objection was acquiring Mench and clogging up the outfield picture, taking valuable PT away from Hart. Cordero has been better than I expected, I must admit. I still don't like the Mench acquisition, but in fairness to Melvin, let's wait and see what happens in the offseason. If he flips Mench in a deal that gets some pitching in return, it could net out to be a better deal than it appears to be at present.
