04/08/05 - Brewers (Capuano) @ Cubs (Wood), 1:20 PM CT

[PeaveyFury]

Man, 6 more straight balls and Spivey's looking like an even bigger idiot...

 

EDIT:8 straight...

[NlGHTWlNG]

8 straight balls and lets see if Jenkins starts hacking.

[clancyphile]

Will Jenks make it 0-fer-6?

[kinglou52]

do we dare ask jenks for two in a row?

[Bruce Ciskie]

I was going to post the "walk Lee to get to Jenkins" crack, but it's already been done. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/nerd.gif

 

And here we go. It'll either be an RBI hit or a fifth strikeout. Vegas has the strikeout as a 5-1 favorite.

[Member]

Of course they'd walk Lee.

 

C'mon Jenks...

[950opsLHcatcher]

The Brewers could not swing for the rest of the inning and score a run.

[PeaveyFury]

Will Jenks make it 0-fer-6?

 

He doubled in the 10th...

[clancyphile]

Jenks can't be hacking...

[Blazer25]

What Fat-back thinks as he runs the bases....

And....

 

a grounder to third. Sheesh.

[clancyphile]

I know... but I'm too darn lazy to bother.

 

C'mon... umps - don't let Barrett delay like this!!!

 

Make `em pitch, darnit!!!!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, he made contact.

 

But he swung at ball four again. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[clancyphile]

UGH!!!!

 

Maybe the Crew deserves to lose this one...

[PeaveyFury]

Thank you Junior Spivey, for being an idiot.

 

 

I think that was ball four to Jenks, but close enough to swing.

[ja002h]

Stupid Spivey. How do you completely whiff on a bunt??

[jakesdaddio]

I am tired of his crap!! I still think the Brewers are going to win this game, but it'll be in spite of Geoff Jenkins. He has personally left on 8 men!!

[950opsLHcatcher]

Jenkins had at least 6 balls thrown to him that AB. Bollucks.

[Blazer25]

We're Anti-clutch....

[rluzinski]

wow, jenkins almost swang like a big person there. Nice half swing to make sure he DIDN'T K. Woopy.

 

$8 mil, huh?

[Member]

And we have for your pitching pleasure this inning, once again, Jorge De La Rosa...

[jakesdaddio]

The Brewers will win, but if they lose, they definitely deserve it! They have not put the ball in play, they can't get bunts down...it looks a lot like the team from the second half of last year.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I don't care if the pitch was "close enough to swing". If you have to extend yourself just to get the bat on the ball, it's not worth swinging at.

 

This pitcher looked like he was about to @#%$ himself right there on the mound for all of us to see. He walked two previous guys without throwing a strike to either of them. If it's not in your wheelhouse, keep the bat on your shoulders.

[endaround]

Sorry it wasn't Spivey that was stupid. He wasn't the one who decided to bunt against a pitcher who can't find the plate.
