6/8/06 Padres (Thompson) @ Brewers (Davis) 1:05pm

[BuckyTuba]

Sharpie looks to help the brewers take 3 of 4 and win the season series.

 

I will be at this game, thanks again to terry.

[PeaveyFury]

Here's to having no clue that this was a 4-game series.

 

I honestly was assuming the Padres were done and out of here yesterday.

[hawing]

In honor of today's starter, I have placed my newly acquired Doug Davis 2001 Rangers card next to my monitor here at the library.

 

Stay sharp, Sharpie;

the rest of you, get him some run support;

and thanks again to Gypcasino for making my day with the card!

 Padres Avg D. Roberts, lf .272 M. Cameron, cf .241 B. Giles, rf .278 J. Bard, c .377 K. Greene, ss .230 A. Gonzalez, 1b .261 V. Castilla, 3b .227 J. Barfield, 2b .260 M. Thompson, p .000 Brewers R.

Wow, Corey Hart continues to not exist in Ned Yost's mind. I don't care if this M. Thompson guy throws right-handed, that's just inexcusable to give a start to Gabe freaking Gross and forget about one of the best bats on your bench.

[kalle8]

mlb.tv broadcast doesn't start...

 

is it raining or something?

 

edit: i did wrong counting the time difference between mil and italy....so i have to wait another hour..

[endaround]

The funny thing about this? By doing this Yost has no left handed bats on the bench now.

[M Skjellyfetti]

It's a 1:05 game.

[jason21nl]

i pretty much hate our lineup

[rluzinski]

The funny thing about this? By doing this Yost has no left handed bats on the bench now.

 

Apparently Yost MUST have one player that he becomes completely obsessed with. I thought it was going to be Shouse but apparenly it's Gross.

[Team Canada]

So frustrating.

 

Now of course Gabe'll hit a HR in his 3rd straight game, but still.

[jakesdaddio]

I find that whenever I don't like the lineup, they tend to get 6+ runs, and prove me wrong.

 

I don't like the lineup today.

[TheBwaz]

Triple to lead off. DFA Davis.

[sgtcluels]

Ouch small ball rocks us again.

[Rob]

How in the world can I go from car to my computer and we're losing already?

[Rob]

is there a worse team that does not execute simple plays?

[Team Canada]

Uhh....

[TheBwaz]

This game is off to a great start.

[wisconsinfan47]

Stupid mistakes...again.

 

When these guys make the easy plays, they win, when they don't, the give teams 4 or 5 extra outs to play with, and they lose.

 

Forget pitching, these guys needs to get their heads in the game.

 

Come on, Let's get 'em.

[kiwi brewer]

don't fret. whatever happens in the 1st stays in the 1st.

 

i bet dougie warms up and blanks them the rest of the way.

[DHonks]

what are the stupid mistakes?

[wisconsinfan47]

Mistakes:

Today...Not getting Cameron when we caught him stealing. That led to a run.

 

Last night...The errors in the early innings that put us behind early.

 

Sunday...Walking the pitcher on four pitches with two outs to set up a grand salami.

 

Good teams don't do that, regardless of their pitching woes.

[Team Canada]

Koskie can play D, that's for sure.

[TauPentaRei]

i hope you're right kiwibrewer... if Ugh Hatis can pitch into the 8th his ERA will be under 5.

 

a 4.00 WHIP is not sustainable however.

[no19no1]

I don't like it.... Doug is not a settle down and get 'em kind of pitcher. He either has it or he doesn't.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Right now, the Brewers are not a playoff team. Playoff teams don't give games away like we did last night. I don't know what happened so far today, but I agree that we need to get our collective heads out of our rear-ends and starting playing some respectable defense.
