C'mon Big Ben, let's get a win today.

Well, I like the lineup. IMO, its the best one Milwaukee can run out there right now, minus Damian Miller (and Moeller has shown signs of life with his regular PT).

[Sheets4theHOF]

I really like Weeks in the 2 hole with his rare combo of speed and power. I'd rather see Hall in the 3 spot though with the way Overbay has been struggling.

 

This is what Ben gets paid for--be the stopper and end this losing streak.

Nice lineup except of course, Lyle Overbay. Overbay could not get himself out of a hole with a ladder. Overbay or should we say OOOOver-rated, OOOver-hyped, OOOver-and done with? Lyle could not hit a watermelon if it were on a tee, let alone a pitched baseball. Lyle needs to rip open his chin again so he can rip into the ball because obviously, it's the only way he can hit. Untill he gets it together and stops hitting into weak 4-6-3 double plays or little girl pop outs, I believe that the newest chant for our first baseman goes a little something like this: OOOOOOhhh Crud!! Lyle is up.

Quite a rant on a guy who is obviously a very good hitter, but is going through probably the longest slump of his career.

 

If anyone deserves criticism, it's Jenkins. He's on about a year and a half slump, and is still half the hitter O is in clutch situations.

 

Ripping Overbay is needless, and quite moronic.

[Sheets4theHOF]

Its weird with Overbay too how he goes into these huge slumps. With the short and smooth swing that he has you would think that would lead short and less frequent slumps.

You're obviously not aware of the reverse mojo of brewerjamie.

Wow easy boy. First off I think the second half of last year was his longest slump. Why is Overbay above criticism? The awful Jenkins has been outhitting the Great One (aka Overbay) for the last three weeks.

[nsimps]

Like I said brewerjamie uses his negative mojo to counter the negative mojo of a particular player and the cross-mojonation often leads to a positive mojo for that player. It's technically called a antimojobrewerjaimierectomy.

[endaround]

So how long until Weeks passes Jenkins in RBIs?

[RoseBowlMtg]

I have a good vibe about this game!

 

And Overbay is very close to breaking out again as I see some line drives today!

[bsglorydays]

Play ball!

Salvage one game in this series and then lets go get the Devil Dogs.

[Yaz]

Ugh, did anyone catch what Daron said while Brady was batting? 0-11 and now with the groundout 0-12. Honestly, I think many of us knew that Brady had been playing a little out of his mind. Geez, don't let that average drop down to where it should be Brady!!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

C'mon Brewers!

[Sheets4theHOF]

Anyone else think that Miller rain beer comerical is hilarious?

[bsglorydays]

Anyone else think that Miller rain commercial is hilarious?

Yeah, that's one of the better ones Miller has done in a while.

[bsglorydays]

Could Clark have had a worse jump on that ball?

[PeaveyFury]

Schroeder says Clark wouldn't have had it, I disagree. He broke in on that ball, probably should have caught it.

[Diskono]

Would Krynzel have caught that?

 

oh yeah i went there

 

edit: Krynzel might have caught Rollins' single too

[Sheets4theHOF]

Goodness, Clarke actually stepped forward before sprinting toward the centerfield wall.

 

Come on Benny settle down.

[Sheets4theHOF]

Nice play Rickie. Cant play defense, bah!

[BillScottCanRake]

That's as impressive as the two hit game last night... way to go Rickie!

[Sheets4theHOF]

"Ben Sheets battles his way through that inning." Darron and Yost have been hanging out lately.

 

I think that run should be charged to Brady. I want Krynzel back.

[bsglorydays]

Thatta boy, El Caballo.
