7/18/2004 Brewers (Capuano) vs. Cubs (Wood)

[jmon482]

Not to much excitement over this game, understandingly so. This is Wood's second start since coming off the DL. The Brewers are 2-6 in Cap's last 8 starts.

 

Game time at 1:20 CDT. GO BREW!!!!!

Helms must still be a lil woozy. That's a shame.

[JaNelson52]

Brady Clark is good enough to hit second, but Ben Grieve isn't.

That Crew lineup looks like it's good for 3 hits and 0 runs.

 

I'll say it advance, the praise for Kerry Wood by the Brewers will be so effusive it'll be sickening.

 

Yost: "Wood was just extraordinary today, we had some great swings out there."

Helms: "I wasn't playing, but I know I wouldn't have done anything".

Jenks: "Man that guy was a surgeon painting the corners".

Overbay: Nothing he's the only guy with a frigging clue.

Moeller: "Nasty stuff, nasty"

 

 

Cap will likely keep it close. Cubs 3 Brewers -2.

[endaround]

Well Grieve just doesn't have the speed to be caught stealing like Clark has.

[ja002h]

Well that was a stellar inning to be sure.

[ja002h]

Dear Geoff,

You suck. You shouldn't be facing the dugout after you swing. You suck.

[endaround]

Six straight balls...this should be a fun game.

[burniebrewer]

Luckily we got out of the 1st. Unfortunately, this game has quite the "ugly" feel already.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[burniebrewer]

Damn, Wood looks good. It pains me deeply to say that.

[endaround]

Yeah--the Brewers break up Woods' perfect game!

[ja002h]

How are people NOT sitting on the outside corner slider?? Move in, for crying out loud.

[packfan79]

A hit with runners in scoring position would be really nice!!

[tnweill]

I was thinking the exact same thing, endaround. There goes the perfect game an no no. thank you bill hall

[RoseBowlMtg]

How are we going to hit Wood with that slider?

 

Pitch count boys!

 

Bad job by the first three and a good job in the second!

 

32 pitches thru 2! We need 90 pitches thru 6!

[ja002h]

Well at least they still haven't managed to score yet...

[endaround]

Pitch count doesn't matter, Dusty will let Wood throw 140 pitches.

[ja002h]

Wait, did Carey just say "Puh sednik" ?? What in the name of WGN is going on here?

[ja002h]

Scotty on to lead off, let's get one!

[ja002h]

1. He was NOT out!

 

2. Why the footfirst slide???

 

edit: and Counsell walks, of course. Brilliant.

[ja002h]

I wish Butch would make a reel of all the low inside pitches Jenks swings at and POUND into his head that they ARE NOT STRIKES.

 

And K. Of course. Jenks sucks. And not in a Grieve way.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Jose Macias???

 

IMHO, the Brewers have about a .01% chance of winning this game.

[brewers19]

They have a .01% chance of winning this unless Wood gets hurt, leaves the game, and Glendon Rusch comes in to pitch. Oh, wait...

[ja002h]

It's a shame our offense is so hangdog, because you really can't argue with 1 run every 3 innings.
