9/27/08 Cubs (Lilly) at Brewers (Sheets): 2:55 CDT on FOX

Granted it does usually take Sheets a few innings to get lose, so we'll see if he's around 91-92 by the third inning.

[adamb100]

Not a good way to start the game.

[GormanHarvey]

wonderful

[thablingster]

Dayrle Ward has always killed us.

 

I still would rather see him play than Edmonds, though.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

He's got a decent curveball though it looks like.

[dlk9s]

I would laugh if Daryle Ward is in LF

I know I'm laughing.

[GormanHarvey]

Mets won

[pitchleague]

I would laugh if Daryle Ward is in LF

I hope there is NO laughter in your house right now.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I have a hard time believing Sheets will make it past 3 today.

 

Mets won. Not good with the starters presumably back in tomorrow.

[adamb100]

Pinella said he's gonna start Zambrano tomorrow.

 

Just thought I'd toss that out.

[chuckywang]

Pinella is not going to start Zambrano tomorrow. Z is going to get 1 or 2 innings to keep him sharp. That's all.

[GormanHarvey]

I hope there is NO laughter in your house right now.

To say the least. Hopefully he will give those 2 runs back yet today

[bjkrautk]

My first chance to actually sit down and watch the Brewers in HD (I don't get FSN HD ...yet). I love everything about the picture except for the '2' next to the CHC.

[Ennder]

Remember when we used to be good against lefties.

[tomwopat]

Dayrle Ward vs MIL: .285/.365/.541, with 12 HR in 207 AB.

 

In contrast, his career numbers are .263/.321/.446 with 89 HR.

 

13% of his HR have come at the expense of Milwaukee pitchers!

[Kurt]

Just spotted Pat Listash in the cubs dugout.

[trwi7]

Pathetic at bats all around so far.

[GormanHarvey]

Well, unless Sheets starts locating better with more velocity I am going to start wishing he would have stayed out of this

[Kurt]

Think the sun is a small factor right now with the late start time?

[trwi7]

So does anybody know why the roof is closed?

[hauser42]

Why would anyone think Brittle Ben is going to come through with a magical performance?? There was going to be runs scored on him in the first 3 innings and we have to hope the bats can come back and carry him so we are not even with the Mets.

[Kurt]

I know this is nitpicking but the mouse click sound they have after every out is getting to me.... Fox has way too many stupid little sound effects for their baseball and football games.

[adamb100]

Sheets isnt lookin good out there today.

[jjgott]

Has Sheets' velocity improved? Unfortunately I'm stuck watching Nats/Phillies.

[thablingster]

Sheets is getting by on smoke and mirrors here. Gotta appreciate the attempt, but we're gotta get somebody up here.
