6/8/2004 - Brewers(Sheets)@Angels(Escobar)/Cheese Sandwiches

[hawing]

Could have been me. I turned on FSN about five seconds before the hit. Please don't make me leave the board. (Couldn't it have been Daron and Bill?)

 

What makes one bloody run too much to ask for?

[batman]

Good to see Geoff hacking at a first-pitch breaking ball. That's squalid.

"Battling grovelers" has a nice ring to it.

[Nefaste]

This game is just coming up on two hours now. Quick game to say the least.

[DuWayne Steurer]

First line of a newspaper article on the Brewers game........

 

"The Brewers hang-dog offense was once again stymied as Kelvim Escobar of the Angels twirled an 11 strikeout gem."

 

How's that?

[950opsLHcatcher]

Should Durrington be pinch-hitting for someone about now?

[endaround]

To add further insult, Lakers come back from 6 down with less than 1 minute left to force overtime.

[batman]

Should Durrington be pinch-hitting for someone about now?

 

Actually, I think it's time for Gary Bennett to make an appearance.

I gotta say I am not thrilled with letting ben pitch the 9th. Nothing but bad can come of it. He isnt in a position to nail down the win. All he can do is send it to extras or lose it. Why let him have the chance of leaving this great performance with a bad taste in his mouth??????

[batman]

Burgleflickle.

 

EDIT: Wow, Ben didn't look so good in his attempt at fielding there. Hope he's okay.

[AJAY]

Leadoff error

 

*sigh*

[xisxisxis]

Is it just me or does Spivey come up with ways to make even a 2 hit performance make you wanna kick him in the butt?

[danzig6767]

I loved when they showed we were 3rd last in hits with RISP,with a .233 batting average.They forgot to include thats practically our team batting average.

[hawing]

If Ben's outing is for naught, it will be a heart-rending loss for the Brewers, and you can blame the puny offense.

 

Thesaurus aside, this game seems fairly pivotal (for June). Lose and you have wasted a terrific performance by Golden Ben and gone under .500 to boot. How demoralizing.

 

Ah, geez, wild pitch. Collect yourself, Ben.

[batman]

Um, Chad? Where were you on that one, buddy?

 

C'mon, Ben.

 

~Bill

[950opsLHcatcher]

If the Brewers lose a one-hitter, so help me God...

[DuWayne Steurer]

It's not just you.

[madjeff66]

Oh for cripes sake, wild pitch.

 

Need to find a way.

[batman]

ONE MORE OUT. We need to channel our collective good vibes and send them to Anaheim. David, you're closest... you got some positive vibes stored up?

 

~Bill

[MassBrew]

When I think of Spivey's trade value back on April 1st -- and now, crud

[DHonks]

well, the hit helped break my concerns about "what if he has a perfecto going and this game goes like 12 innings?" Cause it seemed only 115 pitches could do 12 innings

[hawing]

Does Bob have to keep mentioning the lack of walks? Like I said to Eric Franke on channel 3 when he mentioned the perfect game, "shut up, shut up SHUT UP!"

[madjeff66]

Ben, you da man!!!!

[batman]

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

 

God, I love Ben Sheets.

 

~Bill

[DuWayne Steurer]

BOOYAH!

 

Way to go Ben. At least Sheets won't get tagged with the pathetic loss here.
