9/16/04 Brewers (Santos) vs Giants (Hennessey and Bonds)

[bigopey76]

Some lazy college student had to get this thread started, and I'm the right man for the job.

[tyguy20204]

What college do you attend? I think we will win this game by the way.

[bigopey76]

The big UW

[rluzinski]

I guess I would call my old college, the "middle UW, as in Milwaukee?

I've got a bad feeling about the vampire today (who doesn't?), but hopefully the team finally figures out that they need to make him wear sunglasses.

What's this young team Tony's talking about?

[homer]

Gary Bennett is en fuego. Hitting almost .300 in the second half. Worth keeping next year?

[950opsLHcatcher]

Kyle Peterson is going to be a real good broadcaster someday.

 

If Bonds hits his 700th this afternoon, the bleachers aren't completely full, so the ball has a chance to do some bouncing around out there.

[bigopey76]

i think, barring any major off-season moves, that he's worth having around for at least another year.

[davego]

Would it amuse anyone if by some act of God, Barry's 700th was an inside-the-park job.

[ja002h]

Well he stayed in the park at least. Not a good start tho...

[brettac1]

I think that the Santos thing is pretty much done, so there should be plenty of room in the rotation for Hendrickson and DLR next year.

[bigopey76]

I'm just waiting for Bond's to hit his 700th to dead center

[davego]

Victor certainly could be the #6 and long guy. Maybe he is jut wearing down. I assume he will be given an equal opportunity. This is the land of opportunity.

[950opsLHcatcher]

The stars are aligning for Ben Ford to enter the game.

[rluzinski]

What happened to all of Yost's talk about Krynzel and Mcgrudder gettiong a bunch of starts??

[ja002h]

Giants are homering like it's going out of style.

[Shampoo4U]

Anybody else amazed at ESPN and their announcers? They are acting like kids in a candy store today at Miller Park. I think it is the first time they have been there in 4 years. Checking out Bernies slide and so on......

[Shampoo4U]

Gee Tony, would you happen to talk that way because your son is part of the organization????

[EdgarDiazRocks]

I liked Gwynn at the begining of the game stated that the Crew was a young team, then he looked down to see who was in the lineup today . . . .

 

Overbay is the kid.

 

Whoops!!

[LV Brewer Fan]

So far in this series (through 7 innings today) the Brewers are a combined 13/18 or .150 BA. This is coming against a guy with a 5.02 ERA and the stuff of an average high school pitcher, a career journeyman, and a rookie righthanded pitcher! Unbelievable.

Milwaukee Brewers Baseball......."Its the way we play!"http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/roll.gif

[gypcasino]

No homer today. Bonds goes 3 for 3 plus a walk. Shame on Milwaukee pitchers for not pitching to Barry at all during the series.
