2011-07-27 Cubs (Zambrano) at Brewers (Greinke) - [Brewers win 2-0]

[Ayt]

did anyone notice that weeks didn't grimace AT ALL. not that i saw anyways, combine that with no break and i am holding out hope. i've sprained my ankle dozens of times in basketball and every time i've squirmed and grimaced. now i know weeks is tough but his face was perfectly calm! i'm hoping for the best.

I think he's just a tough SOB. He wanted nothing to do with putting any weight on it.

[davego]

Zack is sweet tonight.

[davego]

Joyce DeWitt?

[ilovebeer]

extra's for Pittsburgh again.

[ilovebeer]

janet wood from 3's company

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Good news though. According to this, Counsell is now just 10 AB away from the record for most consecutive ABs for a non-pitcher without a hit.

[ilovebeer]

nice game Zack

[ninja33]

greinke deserved better on that ball 3 call to dewitt. oh well, hopefully saito can pick him up.

[GoudaBrew]

Rickie's ankle is probably the size of a watermelon by now.

[BrewerTerp]

great game from greinke. thought he got squeezed on a few two-strike calls as well.

[davego]

Let Craig throw an inning!

[chickinbrickin]

Casey's batting average is up to.230

 

I am not convinced Casey is turning it around, but it would be nice if he could put together a solid run over the next month while Rickie is out. Be even nicer if Rickie only missed a week or two, but doesn't look very good.

[natronek8780]

That's the Zack Greinke we traded for!

[davego]

Casey at 2nd? Man...defense really wouldn't matter...

[pebadger]

Game tomorrow is on WGN for Brewer fans able to watch there.

[TauPentaRei]

Let Craig throw an inning!

right. if only to throw out that "longest consecutive hitless at-bats streak by a non-pitcher" thing.

"well you see one at-bat did come when he was a pitcher..."

[brettac1]

Greinke has a legit shot at 200 K's after missing a month. That is amazing.

[endaround]

An afternoon Cubs game in July not on TV just seems weird

[chickinbrickin]

How can BA say Zack didn't have his dominate stuff? 6.2 IP 3H 9K 0 RUNS looks pretty dominate to me. Nibbled a bit and ran the pitch count up, but his stuff looked great.

[ilovebeer]

Mark A got a text from Doug telling him its not broken but going to hospital to get a mri per jsonline.

[davego]

Zack usually nibbles and I dont know why. BA is off on this one tonight.

[trwi7]

Kottaras dropping a bunt down? Why?

[endaround]

Have to save Kotsay....

[jason21nl]

That's not a very smart play at all to have him bunt

[theavrock]

Kottaras bunting. The one bat on the bench with power. Makes sense.
