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

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.

What, you're saying you don't like the football robot?

[trwi7]

Might be time to get Sheets out.

[Menotti80]

have fun in texas ben, what a freaking joke

[bbaehman]

Ben, we appreciate the effort, but let's get Bushie in there and keep this at 2-0.

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

He's been hitting 92 and 93 this inning.

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

He's hit 92 a couple times this inning on the FOX gun and 91 in the first but he's mainly been 88-89.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Well he's up to 93 mph now, but it hasn't been that good so far for Sheets.

[bbaehman]

Let's wake the bats up today and score about 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bjkrautk]

I don't know what everyone is griping about. Sheets is throwing in the low 90s (hit 93 last inning), usually gets stronger as the game goes on, and never has great body language on the mound.

 

It's like people expect him to come out throwing 97 mph....

[Kurt]

The way Soup pitched yesterday, i thought the score would be 8-0 by the 3rd. Hopefully sheets will settle down like he did.

[trwi7]

These are just some pathetic at bats.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

The Fox Announcer just said JJ Hardy runs well. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Kurt]

He does have 2 SBs this year.

[trwi7]

21 strikes and 4 balls for Lilly. Way to make him work guys. Just swinging at a bunch of junk.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

He's probably the slowest SS in baseball.

[Brewcrewin07]

I can't believe they are not lighting up "leave em up" Lilly yet.

[trwi7]

Nice play hall. Your offense sucks, we don't need your defense to suck now.

[brewers19]

He does have 2 SBs this year.

Prince has three, and an inside-the-park homerun to boot.

[Kurt]

Lilly is on today... I hope we can keep it close and have Lou give his bullpen more "playoff roster tryouts".

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Today would have been a great day to use Mike Rivera.

[trwi7]

Come on Dale. Sheets has nothing today. Even the outs have been hit hard.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

It doesn't help that the strikezone is smaller than Michigan's chance of beating Wisconsin today.

[brewers19]

That shadow needs to move quicker.

[trwi7]

That shadow needs to move quicker.

It's not effecting the Cubs hitters. Why should it effect ours?

[Kurt]

Did Mark Grace really just say "fuddy duddy"? Yes he did.

 

Is Ted Lilly's full name really Theodore Roosevelt Lilly? Yes it is.
