08/01/2004 - Brewers (Sheets) vs. Pirates (Wells)

[Fike85]

Chad wuz robbed, but all we need is a sac fly!

[panthernick]

Why do I have a sinking feeling we are going to be tortured by a Trent Durrington appearance today?

[endaround]

I see a Durrington appearance coming....

[panthernick]

Why would be able to do anything we couldn't with none out and the bases loaded?

[batman]

Is Trent available?

 

EDIT: Yep, there he is.

[Fike85]

Good poop. Tie Game. One more than Kolb time. I gots to go.

[batman]

BTW, that was a great bunt by Counsell. He's a really good bunter... I wish he could use his veteran leadership to teach Podsednik a little something.

 

Why can't Trent just be our bullpen catcher or assistant bench coach? As long as he doesn't actually play, he's a great asset... except that he takes up a roster spot. Just pull a Luis Sojo with him and let him be a coach.

[rluzinski]

So, since Trent was aweful in AAA, he not only get's called up but is used by Yost right away?

 

I give up.

[MachMeister5]

Good Deal...

 

Toby- did u get the article/email attachment i sent?? My first stab at an article, its still quite rough around the edges, but maybe one of the BF pros can edit it a bit.

 

On a side note, i just saw a news clip of Elizabeth Edwards, and she's gained alot of weight in the past 6 mo... Is she pregnant again?

[Vgmastr]

6-5 Crew.

 

I'm in shock.

[MachMeister5]

LOL!

[endaround]

Well it was either Durrington or Bennett.

[Vgmastr]

And a wild pitch scores Pods, 7-5 Crew!

Yost is so freakin' clueless it defies description.

What? He's not the one who signed Russell Branyan. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif

 

(Sorry. I might as well carry this out a little bit. If anything, it will make Bill think I'm completely clueless, if he doesn't already think that. The reality is that I'm not completely clueless. Just on Tuesdays and Thursdays. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif )

 

Rousing comeback today. Sounded like the crowd was really into it, unless WTMJ has done some fancy stuff with their crowd mikes. The Twins had one of these today, too, and it almost sounded like it was loud in the Metrodump. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

[rluzinski]

Keischnick wasn't available to pinch hit?

[nikip43]

Kolb's in with a 2 run lead...I don't think this is totally over but Yost finds a way to win....great managing all around by Ned http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

(hey he won...hopefully...didn't he...that's all that matters)

[batman]

Does anybody know what Kolb is hitting on the radar gun? It's not on the Telemundo feed, obviously, and Uecker hasn't mentioned it. Anybody watching MLB.tv? Does the Pirates feed have it?

 

Just curious.

 

~Bill

[rluzinski]

walk and a HBP, another classic Brewer moment coming?

[endaround]

Well yes, but he is left handed.

 

EDIT:Hey we have a Helms non-play. And now Vizcaino is going to close us out.

[brettac1]

Here we go again! Here comes Vizzy for the save.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Wow. Dan Kolb turned into Mike DeJean, and I didn't get a memo about it.

 

Not a memo. Not a press release. Nothing.

 

Great. Luis Vizcaino is coming in. Anyone else smell a three-run bomb?

[wisconsinbadgers]

come on vizcaino

[brettac1]

tie game

[batman]

Argh. That was a really good AB by Mackowiak, though... fought off a lot of tough pitches and then elevated a ball down by his ankles to get home the run. Heck, he almost hit that one out.

 

I guess Trent Durrington hasn't had enough time to teach the Brewers how to get the job done, go for the jugular, not let 'em off the ropes, finish 'em off, and that kind of thing. Just give him time.

[brettac1]

He's going to turn this team into a bunch of gritty Aussies, just you watch batmanhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
