6/11/2006: Cardinals (Suppan) @ Brewers (Bush), 1:05 CT

[B2k1121]

I jinxed Jenkins by getting his jersey this year, the jersey I bought before that was Javon Walker.

[rluzinski]

Theres a huge difference between playing injured as a position player and a pitcher.

 

Exactly. Every docter would say Lasorda's opinion is really stupid.

[AJAY]

Oh man, Capellan can't get anyone out either.

[adamb100]

Take a run, give a run, take a run, give a run...

[batman]

Apparently Geoff didn't get ejected... it sure seemed like the umpire gave him the boot, but I guess not. In that case, good job Geoff of avoiding the ejection and/or credit Ned for intervening to keep him in the game.

i've said this before and I'll say it again... the 4 game hot streaks geoff puts together simply do not outweigh the 12 game O-fers he lays.

 

When Gord got prodded about shopping Lee and mentioning "untouchables", the producer cued a real subtle, effective pan of jenkins sulking in the dugout.

 

i cannot stand jenkins. his stats are smoke and mirrors.

[PeaveyFury]

Good grief.... can our bullpen not suck, please?

If you send me your address I will send you money to buy a Brad Johnson jersey

[jason21nl]

our pitching is the worst EVER

[rluzinski]

I sure would rather watch the Brewers lose 3-4 than 7-8.

[jason21nl]

me too...hate these games

[AJAY]

Wow, the replay showed that Ned got really heated up during that argument. Maybe Yost should be going off on Jenkins like that instead of the umpire.

[Ayt]

Capellan is really bringing the heat today.

[AJAY]

Wow, the Cardinals did not score.

 

Finally.

[adamb100]

For once the Cards come up empty in an inning.

[batman]

Capellan's mechanics have been horrible lately... he's doing the airplane/flailing crap after he releases the ball again, falling way off-balance and kicking his back leg way up above his waist on the follow-through. It seemed like Maddux/Castro had gotten him under control and ixnayed that, but he's started doing it again and it messes with his release point.

 

Nice job getting out of the jam, but he really needs to simplify things and get a mechanical tune-up.

Just keep that in mind when he's carrying the team in the 2nd half of the year.

 

Nice to see Capellan get out of it unscathed here.

[Southwest Brewer]

So does Jenks get 2 days off like Billy did last week?

[adamb100]

Can Jenks get the whole season off?

That is all fine and good when the brewers are out of the race. I am sick of hearing that he hit .330 with 15 hr's in the second half last year. If you take his full year stats the brewers did not get $8 million worth of production. currently they are not getting $8 worth this year.

[B2k1121]

Or 2 months.

[COOOOP]

According to the boxscore so far, the Brewers will probably score -1 runs this inning.

[Trowekamp]

Come on Prince tie it up..

Then only send him paychecks during the second half of the year.

[adamb100]

There needs to be a clause in his contract for being under expectations. We could save a couple million.
