2011-06-16 Brewers (Greinke) at Cubs (Garza) - [Brewers lose, 12-7]

So time to start taking bets on who DH's tomorrow. I'll go with Fielder and Kotsay plays 1B.

Wow. Working this afternoon and just checked in. I guess this one will be coming off the DVR without being watched. Looks like Greinke didn't pitch too well, is that the case?

 

Didn't pitch well, but also got no help at all from the defense. Of the first 5 runs, only 2 were batted in.

Anyone wanna say Weeks doesn't have terrible baseball IQ again?

Yes.

Just because a player is good or has talent doesn't mean he's a smart player. I've seen Weeks make so many stupid mistakes over the years. He might not be on the Gomez level but he still does stupid things that make no sense.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Haha, Gomez doing the bat flip on a ball that wasn't even close to a homer. At least it dropped in for a double so he didn't look like a total moron.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Nice to see some good hitting here, even though we're still down 5. Need some momentum going into Boston.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well, pathetic series. Should've at least split, and probably won 2 out of 3. Gotta move on and try to play well in Boston though.

This series was eerily similar to that 09 series in Wrigley (July 2-5). Lets hope we rebound this time. I think we have a lot better team than we had then. Maybe most disappointing about this whole thing is that we are back to asking why can't we win on the road?

Nah, your post was a reaction to his bad game, but not a reflection of his overall career.

Actually I've been saying that about him for years but how would you know that.

Nice to see Betancourt getting a hit -- a one out, bases empty single in the ninth down by 7 runs. I'm sorry, but this guy doesn't belong in the majors. And as far as I'm concerned, neither does Ron Roenicke. I haven't seen this type of pitching/game mismanagement since Grady Little...

[RedFlash2]

Thx guys for such a wonderful series. Now the Cubs are stick with that bald headed freak of a manager who is so bad at managing that I actually wish we had Bruce Kimm back. Thx again. Best of luck going forward.

terrible game especially with the Cards going 3-7 in their last 10. they better get together in Boston.

[davemakovec]

Baseball is a funny game sometimes. When the Brewers were tearing up the NL, the Cards were right with them, refusing to lose. Now, the Brewers get embarrassed by the Iowa Cubs, and they actually pick up a half game on the Cardinals.

[Invader3K]

It was a frustrating series...but with how well the team was playing, a hiccup like this was bound to happen. Hopefully it is not the sign of some kind of downward spiral. Like davemakovec points out, they actually are up a bit in the standings due to STL's poor play of late.

 

Hopefully the team goes into Boston tonight with a chip on their shoulders and beat up on John Lackey (who is having a terrible season) to regain some momentum.
