7-5-2004: Cubs (Clement) @ Brewers (Sheets)

[squarepusher]

12 lousy strikeouts? big deal. all-star? hrrmph.

[ja002h]

Shoot,looks like he's done.

[squarepusher]

Ned, don't take Sheets out.... ugh... I've got a horrible feeling about vizzy.

[packfan79]

Not Vizcaino!

[batman]

Big Ben is done with 115 pitches, 77 strikes. How aboot this line, eh?

 

7 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 12 K

 

Ho, hum. It's like he's Ben Hendrickson or something. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

EDIT: I agree with Nedley here... 115 is enough for Ben. Another inning could have gotten him up over 130, and that ain't cool. If Vizzy can't do the job, that's his problem... not Big Ben's.

Nice pick.

[ja002h]

Will someone tell the Cubs announcers that the D is silent?!

[nikip43]

great game by Sheets...lets see this bullpen close it out for him

 

smart call to take him out by the way, no need to pull a Baker and over exhaust a great young arm

[RoseBowlMtg]

Come on Luis we need an inning from you!

 

Good call on everyone swinging for the fences except Overbay!

[batman]

123 pitches for Clement, 69 of them strikes. His line is mighty impressive, too.

 

7 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 6 BB, 10 K

 

Not great control, but wicked stuff.

 

C'mon, Vizdog!

 

~Bill

[ja002h]

Sit down.

[squarepusher]

blah blah blah... "the visibility"....

[batman]

95mph? Somebody's jacked up for the game today.

 

I think its 'cause the game's on Telemundo. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Vizdog... represent!

 

~Bill

[ja002h]

You sit down too, Walker

[squarepusher]

Crazy Viz-dog split-fingered madness!

[batman]

No chance, that's what he's got... no chance at all.

 

One more, Vizdog!

 

~Bill

[bwi]

Why does Vis make me nervous?

[batman]

Um... Grieve could have done that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

 

~Bill

[endaround]

Because he gives up hits to Ramon Martinez? Kolb should be coming in right now.

[ja002h]

Let's not make this too interesting now.

[squarepusher]

Here comes the train wreck.

[batman]

Ok, well this really sucks. Brady and Wes, defensive specialists.

 

Burgleflickle.

[don1481]

Viz makes EVERYONE nervous.

 

Except Ned "I have a routine, gosh darn it" Yost.

 

*puke*

[packfan79]

Crap!!

[cirillo26]

they could have taken advantage of Sosa's impatience, but no, Helms botches it.
