I think flu or not Sheets is gonna go in this one and pitch a dandy. I have this vision of Sheets pitching a great game with the flu and all the boys following his lead and getting out of this slump they are all in.Sheets is a leader and he has a chance to prove without a shadow of a doubt that he is the face of the Milwaukee Brewers.

[DHonks]

first off, Obie in Houston might be fine with his GO tendency vs Sheets FO tendency.

 

Secondly, didn't Obie shut down the Astros last Sept?

[1992casey]

Obermueller pitched a complete game shutout against Houston last September 25th.

Not only do I support your decision, I will join you in your efforts. I'll meet you at the fridge around 7PM.

Oswalts numbers against us weren't as dominating as I thought they would be, though last year he seemed to own us.

 

Those numbers seriously surprise me. I really thought his numbers would be more Cy Young-ish against us.

That's great and all, but hopefully Sheets gets well now and it's irrelevant.

I think Scotty Po bobblehead day he struggled

[brettac1]

Yep, I think that's really the only bad game he has ever had against the Brewers.

Will Genuine Draft do! If so I will support and join is as well.

Stupid friggin FSN southwest. Those jerks are airing the Rangers/D-Rays game instead tonight, then going with the Brewers and Astros tomorrow night, the one night I have a late class (until 9:30) and wouldn't be able to watch. It's a conspiracy against me.

[SlideBernieSlide]

According to the line-ups on MLB.com, it's Sheets and Jenkins is even back. Historicallly, he hits Oswalt. So let's hope that continues. Billy Hall is playing in place of JJ.

 

Go get em' Ben.

[Anders34]

Mothership, I need to watch it on FSNSW also. The Rangers are on, but on DirecTV there is FSN SW Alternate which says it will be Astros/Brewers at 7:00. Look for a FSN Alternate.

I believe it was somewhere on this forum that I read that Branyan had gotten a shot in his shoulder and would likely be out until Friday.

[DHonks]

I wonder why Billy Hall. Hardy had a nice hit and looked better at the plate, except for the botched Suicide squeeze. Versus a strikeout pitcher in Oswalt, Hardy may be the better choice. Of course, we're in the Juicebox, and as others have said maybe we should have Hall start on Sheets' days

[brettac1]

It's just so unfortunate for Branyan. Once it looks like he's finally going to get his just due, something else pops up and derails him.

[DHonks]

brettac,

while it's unfortunate, this is what some of us were hoping for. This is Jeff Cirillo's chance to prove he has something left and deserves to be on the roster all year. Russell should be fine and will be back soon, but it would have been a shame having Cirillo only pinch hitting while some of us were curious if he was recovered phyisically or mentally (or whatever really happened). If he's a sub-.250 hitter, we'll have an idea soon. If he deserves 60-70 starts, we'll know soon

[xisxisxis]

You were hoping that a decent player would get hurt so that we could see if the player with the worst stats over the last 2+ years might be worthy of playing a bit more than sitting on the bench? That is downright pathetic. Sure I had a good laugh when Wes had his spill in Puerto Rico, but I didn't want and hope that he would get hurt. Sick, really Sick.

 

 

If he's a sub-.250 hitter, we'll have an idea soon.

 

He has been for several years and if you take away opening day he makes Trent Durrington look like an MVP.

[bigjase]

Great. I just tried to turn on the Brewer game on my Dish in Madison, and it says that the game has been blacked out in my area. Anybody else having this problem?

[homer]

That 6-9 is just brutal.

[rluzinski]

Brewers are king of having a guy hurt for long periods of time without putting them on the disabled list. Was it Spivey that had like 2 AB over 30 days? Is Branyan hurt or not? I don't get it.

 

Cirillo sucks, and not because of his 20-whatever ab this year. How Yost thinks he's a better option than Helms right now I don't know.

[Pointer1VB]

Ouch, that's all I'm going to say.

[rluzinski]

Back to back dingers in teh third is just brutal. Isn't this supposed to be FUN?!!!??????? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/sick.gif
