9/18/08 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Harden): 1:20 PM CDT

This lineup flatout sucks.

[pretendastronaut]

Looks like the Brewers are going to have to get a hit afterall.

 

Alright, but just one. Don't be getting greedy.

[Oldcity]

No more Counsell. No more Hart against the likes of Rich Harden.

[datrain711]

thank god for harden's hiccup in the first inning. otherwise he'd be locked in for an 8 inning 15 k game. this brewers lineup has zero discipline

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Granted, we do indeed suck...but we are facing Rich Harden. The dude is perhaps the best 1-5th inning guy in baseball. The key today is for Bush to keep us in the game and for the hitters to get to the bullpen in the 6th. One inning of decent at bats could do it.

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Fukudome sucks. They thought he was the greatest thing ever.

[BrewCrewForever]

No more Counsell. No more Hart against the likes of Rich Harden.

I to wouldn't mind seeing Lamb get a start vs. RHP. How is Lamb's defense though?

[dlk9s]

Everyone, this is Rich Harden we're facing. The first five at-bats were the ones that were unexpected.

[brewmann04]

Looking like the mets with Santana going might just bump this up to a 1 1/2 game lead.

boy hopefully the Cubs can sweep the 4 games aganist the Mets next week

[tristarscoop]

64 pitches through 3 for Harden - twice Bush's pitch count

couldn't have put it better myself. it'd be nice to get one more long inning to ensure that he's out the next time his spot comes up to bat, but if he has a couple more 10 pitch innings we may have to face him in the sixth

That alone gives me hope for the rest of this game. Harden will be out after 5 maybe 6 tops with that pitch count.

Brian, groan and groin are two completely different words, with completely different pronunciations and completely different meanings. Please learn them. Thanks.

[endaround]

When did Soriano learn to walk? I mean its almost unreal.

It's a tie game, last time I checked.

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Kendall is the man at defense. He is been way above my expectations. But then again when Estrada was our catcher last season that doesn't take much, but he has been 100 times what Johnny was on D.

[bucks2281]

Harden has 60 pitches through three. If we can manage some plate disciple, considering they don't want to overexert Harden, maybe we can drive him early.

 

But boy, Counsell, Kendall, Hart, and the pitcher have been nothing short of 4 automatic outs lately.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Did Hardy just swing at a 2-0 pitch out of the zone???

[trwi7]

Hardy got all of that and it dies at the warning track.

[BrewCrewForever]

A hit anytime now would be calming though.

Thats hilarious - I thought I was the only one that got really annoyed with that

[trwi7]

Bill: Harden really saving his best stuff for Corey Hart.

 

Maybe it's that, or maybe Hart just completely sucks right now and has for most of the second half.

[tristarscoop]

It's always extra-sweet when Jason throws guys out at Wrigley.

[GormanHarvey]

Who's a genius?!

 

 

welp

 

 

Dear GH

 

Oooops...sorry

 

Dave

 

 

Sorry - the one time I am right about something is when I didnt want to be. SoCal - at least you made me laugh!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm glad one of us was laughing...I just burned through a box of Kleenex.
