(6/8/05): Yankees (Mussina) @ Brewers (Capuano) 7:05 PM

[molitor fan]

just as a seasonal subplot....with the Yankees awful lack of depth, a large scale brawl, like they have had in the past with the Red Sox that would involve lengthy suspensions, would decimate and perhaps doom the Yankees.....

 

for 205 mildo, this is not that great of a complete ballclub....perhaps not all Cashman's fault, but man there are some awful dead contracts on that team.

[RoidRunner]

so where are you guys goin to be in the stadium, cuz i will be in the right field bleechers drunk off my A**

[ThePurpleStorm]

Does anyone think that Steinbrenner blows up if we sweep them?

By the way, I'll be at the game. I was lucky enough to go to Monday's game also. Haha, and it's exam week. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif

[davego]

If the 'Crew can sweep, I say MLB needs to hook Milwaukee up with the Royals in a 3 game, winner take all!

[JoeH33]

Wow that sucks, you still have exams?? I go to UWM and we finished up like 3 weeks ago.

[ThePurpleStorm]

I'm game for that.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Sadly, I'm currently in high school. Tomorrow's my last day!

[Brian the Automator]

[ 2000: .326/.392/.477 with 115 RBI, 111 Runs, 53 2Bs and 11 HRs

 

Granted, that was at Coors for 81 games, but still... ]

 

Away from Coors Field in 2000: .628 OPS

 

I stick by my statement.

you and I would get along good, im not gonna lie

[ThePurpleStorm]

I love these games. So many drunk people. I've now gone to two Cubs games and a Yankee game and at both, someone sitting right by me has gotten thrown out because of being "obnoxious" and "rude".

[deeswan]

My stat of the day:

 

Everyone knows the Brewers woes with runners in scoring position. Their BA w/RISP currently stands at .227, 11 points lower than the 2nd to last place team. But what nobody talks about is how awesome the Brewers are with a man on first base. They are the leaders of MLB in BA w/ a runner on first, hitting a robust .318, with an OBP of .371 and a SP of .467.

[endaround]

I think from those numbers combined with 40 times measured in minutes, the Brewers SHOULD NOT TRY STEALING!

[Getpaddled]

can we switch them around.. Just like we should switch Jenks around in the line up somewhere

[Bruce Ciskie]

The Crew takes the field tonight in search of their first three-game s---- of the Yankees since 1989. They beat the Yankees 5-4, 1-0, and 5-1 August 14-16. Tony Fossas, Teddy Higuera, and Mark Knutson were the winning pitchers.

 

August 14 box.

August 15 box.

August 16 box.

[Getpaddled]

any line ups yet?>??!!!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Nope. Not on USA Today or MLB.com as of yet.

Still no JJ...........http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Ugh. It's nice of Yost to find plenty of time for Helms and Spivey but not JJ.

[kiwi brewer]

I hope I am right in saying that Yost is simply showcasing Spivey to the Yanks. I am expecting to see JJ Friday.

 

go crew

[mikerollins]

What's odd is when JJ was really struggling at the plate...Ned kept saying "we've got to let him work through this."

 

Well he worked through it and has been hitting the ball well and taking great approaches and now he can't get on the field. It's hard to fault playing Hall right now though and I still feel like they want to "showcase" Spivey to the Yankees.

 

I'd be surprised if Hall doesn't start most of the weekend. Also, most of the year when Moeller plays, Hardy sits. And with Miller out, that's the case.

 

GO CREW!!

[endaround]

What the @#$@#$$% is Spivey doing batting second?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Ned has to play Hall right now. Ride the wave until it dies out, which it probably will at some point, being that we're talking about Bill Hall.

 

I'd rather not see Spivey so much, especially if we're showcasing him to the Yankees. What the hell are we going to get for him from the Yankees, who have a weaker farm system than just about anyone?

[Getpaddled]

cappy hits a HR today

[dogs with bees in their mo]

I think getting cash for Spivey might be good enough. Maybe the Yankees have a low or medium prospect in AA that would be acceptable also. Just getting rid of him is all that really matters. People keep saying that having too many players for the infield is "a good problem to have." I think that's a load of crap.

 

It's like John Madden always says: "uh you know uh what I always say, uh uh we think we got two quarterbacks, well then uh you uh, heh, well you uh really got no quarterback then."
