7/24/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Cardinals (Wellemeyer): 7:15 CDT

I still hate Aaron Miles. Just thought I would say that. He is the new Eckstein.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Page 3 of an in-game thread before a pitch has been thrown, in a game that might be delayed. Brewer fever!

[Yeti73]

I agree that Aaron Miles is super annoying, but everyone on that team is annoying. We better get this game in tonight. I expect a huge night from Sheets and a good debut for Ray Ray.

[Sheets4theHOF]

there should be some kind of mandate that if you build a new stadium and your team is not in california you have to have a retractable roof.

Let's not get too high. I'd love to see the Brewers win tonight. But we have taken six straight on the road and three of four so far from StL. This is still a very good team they're playing tonight.

No kidding! But St. Louis is not the dumbest the Twins not putting one on their new stadium is just stupid.

I completely agree, but I really feel good about this game. I'm not going to use the reverse jinx until later in the game.

[TauPentaRei]

how bout some reverse pitching staff inning action tonite?

 

start the game with Mota (he certainly couldn't blow the lead. oh wait, he could)... wait out a rain delay. Let DiFelice Gagne & Shouse poop out five outs. And once the storm clears we can let Benny do his thing uninterrupted.

[Sheets4theHOF]

I gotta say i don't like weeks sitting tonight. 3-4 last night. Seems to be putting together a little run. We all know how streaky he is. Why not wait for a 0-4?

[hurricanecrush]

Anyone else notice on FSN, while they were showing Sheets warming up and talking about the possibility of back to back series sweeps, there was a guy sweeping in the background.

 

A sign maybe?

[RoseBowlMtg]

Wow FSN has been paying attention to brewerfan.net showing the travesty of Simba not being in the HOF. Just compare his numbers to his contemporaries, Bench, Fisk and Carter who are in and it reaks of injustice. Spread the word. Funny how former head of baseball writers assoc Drew Olson says it is the worst injustice in baseball. How come his other writers weren't so aware?

[Yeti73]

Hardy is back on another tear. Not as much power, but he just sees the ball so well sometimes.

[Bankjob]

Wow....Sheets gave that one away not watching Skip as he walked to second base.

[Yeti73]

Argh...we were so confident that we'd get Ankiel that they didn't really keep tabs on the runner. Benny hates Budweiser.

InBev!!!

[brewmann04]

Hart seemes to have the post all star game blues.

[TauPentaRei]

flyball : groundball ratio is NOT sustainable tonite Benny.

 

unless that dew point is like 200%

[ELCABALLO45]

Sheets does not look lights out right now, but he is "battling"

[Bankjob]

Velocity does not seem to be there for Benny tonight. But it is early.

[Yeti73]

Ramirez (the good one, not the annoying 3rd baseman) puts the Fish up on Cubs

[sauveb]

This is the best that Brian and Bill have ever sounded. Trenni still looks good though.

[Yeti73]

Ball is flying out of Wriggly tonight...This will be a high scoring affair so hopefully it gets into Z's head.

[TauPentaRei]

first 7 outs by fly ball...

 

Ben needs to get out of this inning unscathed, settle down and review the game plan with Jason.

[sargennm]

Bad control of small strike zone this inning?

[sauveb]

Is this where we all go "Woe is us" and wave the white flag?
