Or how bout a team of Geoff Jenkins'? They both have 88 strikeouts on the year. The only difference is Dunn provides some power potential whereas Jenkins does not. People tend to forget we have our own K machine on this team.

That's ok. If we have 23 K's on the day but the final score is 9-0

You think that would be the outcome if a team full of Geoff Jenkins took the field.

[brewers4eric]

Cub radio announcers just recanted a story about Uecker shagging batting practice fly balls with a tuba.

[honuswagner21]

uh oh- the boo birds are starting to sneak on through with that stellar bunt by Pierre. I love it.

[JoeH33]

Too bad we couldn't get Walker there, I like DLee a lot better when he's leading off an inning.

[sheethead]

GG might be a little scrrrrrd of D Lee

[jloos19]

Nice job working out of the jam there by GG.

[honuswagner21]

As long as Ramirez keeps hitting the way he is and has been this season I would expect to see a lot more of Derrek Lee walking.

[hawing]

Sandwich gone. I would like another glass of ice water but I don't want to get up. Man, the situations I'm forced to deal with right now, and Ned Yost thinks he's got it tough?

 

Let's have a moment of silence for Jamie.

 

*crickets chirping - quiet, crickets*

 

OK, carry on. Godspeed, Jamie.

what ? none of the brewer/ reds game are on tv ? whats up with that ?

FSN Ohio will be showing them apparently, so if you have the Extra Innings package you should be able to watch. I'm in NC, so hopefully I will be able to catch them.

[crossface21]

Had that been Moeller, I'm sure it would have gone off the wall.

[JoeH33]

Sweet, actual production from the catcher spot.

[honuswagner21]

Sweetest words appear once again...in-play run scoring play

[hawing]

Perhaps FSN figures that everyone will be either at the game or doing holiday activities away from a TV.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i think its the price we pay to see the all the Cubs and Cards games

[davemakovec]

Is this what a consistently productive offense is supposed to look like?

 

I like the steady production, but it'd be nice if we could drop a big inning to chase Prior - I'd love to get the Cubs bullpen tired out, just to be spiteful, so they have more trouble with their next opponents.

[honuswagner21]

Yup...the price we pay so Jamie can eat sandwiches and take afternoon naps with the Brewers on in the background. I'd much rather not have these day games televised at the expense of the night games.

[Team Canada]

Cy Gonzalez going here. Not that I'm complaining..

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Gonzalez is at 67 pitches through 4. I think Daron said they were hoping 70 pitches out of him today.

[sheethead]

four 0's for GG - not bad, even if it is the anemic cubs.

I'm at work so I can't watch...any idea on who replaces him? Helling would be a little scary today under the circumstances (a lead).

[Riebes24]

Helling would be a little scary today under the circumstances (a lead).

 

Well put.

[honuswagner21]

Powell said during the pre-game that Helling is backing up GG. That would really change the face of this game.

 

How long before people start asking that Zach Jack be replaced by GG in the rotation?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i'd leave him in the game as long as possible. gonzalez looks awesome...well until he has to field a pop up

[hawing]

I think Daron said they were hoping 70 pitches out of him today.

 

Suppose he means quality-wise or arm strength-wise?

 

You'd think GG would feel some incentive to do well vs. his former team - not unlike Vampire vs. the Brewers last month. That game, folks, is my low point of the season to date.

[honuswagner21]

I'd rather see him get out of this inning and go to the pen. As soon as he gets tired, this thing could change awfully quick.
