8/4/05 Brewers (Davis) vs. Mets (Benson) 11:10 AM CST

I hope Lehr gets a plane ticket to Nashville ASAP.

 

Of course, Sharpie didn't impress, either today. Another offensive performance wasted - then again, given the way he's had six quality starts wince June 22 and NO WINS, I kinda feel that some sick, twisted, form of justice has been served.

 

A performance like this when Sharpie is on would be good enough for a win.

I can't figure out why Ned insists on pitching to guys that kill us. Piazza kills us, all the time, it never stops. Yet we'll constantly give him pitches to hit instead of working around him. I wish we'd just recognize a few players we can't seem to get out and work around that . . .

 

Meanwhile, I just found out its "Junior Manager Day". Some 6 year old is calling the shots from the clubhouse. He'd like to see Lehr go to C because he's got a good bat and Moeller could use the rest of the day off. He's also pondering pitching Durrington in the 8th, while subbing Branyan out for Eveland at 3B.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Our pitching this series is absolutely putrid.

[H0FFY]

Well, I like the concept that Eveland brought to the table... throw strikes.

 

But I think the batters may beat up the pitchers in the locker room after the game.

[RyDogg66]

Wow this team. Instaed of losing every game 3-2 in the second half we will just keep losing 9-8.

[ThePurpleStorm]

If we don't hold them here, I don't think we'll come back. This is soooooooooooo important.

[Ando Calrissian]

You will be back for more abuse tomorrow

 

you're probably right. i've never sworn off booze or the brewers, but i'm getting darn close to doing one of those two things.

[striders3]

APB........Anyone seen the Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff.....they have reportedly been missing since August 1, 2005. If seen please use extreme caution as they are highly flammable.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

so the mets are going to bring in Padilla and his 0.87 era. Lets raise that number a notch.

[RyDogg66]

When will Adams or Bennett be ready? And what is Capellan doing down in AAA?

[Oldcity]

Way to go Dana.

I would think that giving up the Brewers would reduce the need for booze.

This is surely a "must win" inning http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ThePurpleStorm]

Not Gerald Williams. Doesn't he own us? Or am I thinking of someone else?

[ThePurpleStorm]

Shoot. 2 more runs to overcome. Not that I'm surprised. With Lehr pitching this inning I had the feeling he'd get wacked.

[burniebrewer]

Doesn't he own us?

 

These days, that's a pretty common question. And the answer is usually yes.

[brewerjamie15]

I'm playing Chess online, and have the radio on, but just barely listening. (concentrating on the game) who gave up the last two runs?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

moeller bunts ? with his great speed ???? hmmmm

Yeah, but don't you pretty much predict everyone's going to fail?

[H0FFY]

no, it cannot be right, sportsline says moeller bunted for a base hit

 

and failed

 

maybe the batters have had enough

[bucksman4]

Great job by Mr. Eveland to clean up the mess that Lehr got the team into. I'll say one thing about this youngster...he battles, has fire up his behind, and is a true gamer. He's a Yost type of guy....and he's not afraid to throw strikes. He's going to be a good one.

 

P.S. Why do we not hear anything about Hendrickson anymore? I know he's not killin' em at AAA, but has everyone given up on him? Last year he didn't show me anything, but I thought the organization would give him a long leash and be very tolerant of him as he progresses.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Good one Moeller.,

And what the heck is wrong with my ezPost? It isn't working. I can't post images or do any of that.

[hawing]

I just had my first chance today to look at the boxscore and this thread. Great googly moogly.

Will I have to replace my avatar to something dull instead?

[Oldcity]

I think Hendrickson was just suspended for hitting a batter in AAA.

[ThePurpleStorm]

I'm ignoring that.

 

And why don't we promote Kane Davis? He seems to be pitching very well.
