9/17: Brewers (Sheets) @ Cubs (Marquis), 7, the U/ESPN

[Cynosure]

If I was normal size and on the Brewers I would refuse to sit in the dugout, out of fear I'd have cholesterol dripping all over me.

 

Do they not teach their players to stay in shape?

[17 Seconds]

Are you watching Lou? Guzman is way better than Howry.

[kujay]

Nice job Angel!

 

Now let's have the middle of the order do what the middle of the order is supposed to do.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Gooz-marmol-Wood could be absolutely devastating.

 

This game is by no means out of reach. lets not let the Brewers rally around the fact that Sheets couldnt make it to the 3rd inning, but their bullpen came through for them.

[mlarner]

Seriously. Lou, please pay attention here and see what happens when your middle relief can actually get people out...

[17 Seconds]

And there it is. Good job, ESPN.

 

"I won't go into it anymore" says O'Brien.......only to go into it more.

[bcl412]

Yeah, we're getting shut down by this pen

[BCVM22]

Yeah, we're getting shut down by this pen

 

Mmmyup.

[kujay]

Nice hack there.

[CubsNSkers07]

If we had 8 Aramis' and Zambrano batting how many runs would we score?

[17 Seconds]

Time for Reed

[Shilzzz]

And there it is. Good job, ESPN.

I would save Reed for a better spot. I'd either leave Edmonds in, or bring in another pinch-hitter and then bring Pie in on defense. The Brewers are going to do this again in an inning or two in a situation where the Cubs need their best right-handed pinch hitter.

[kujay]

I'm tired of the constant ragging on Lou here, but this is puzzling.

[17 Seconds]

Uhh, why is Edmonds still hitting?

 

More terrible managing.

[Little Slide Rooter]

It looks to me like the Cubs came into this game with the mindset that they were facing a top pitcher, and it was OK to lose this one, and had no intention of breaking out the lumber.

[17 Seconds]

Sveum looks like he has no clue what's going on. He reminds me of Yost...it just seems like nothing is going on upstairs.

[CubsBears29]

5 BP meat balls = 2 HRs, 2 2Bs and a single.

 

That's what's been given to Fielder in the last 2 games and what he's done with them.

[BCVM22]

I didn't want them to clinch tomorrow anyway.

[kujay]

That should do it for this one.

[17 Seconds]

Oh well. Win tomorrow and we should still clinch at home.

[Butterscup1679666578]

More quality bullpen usage by Lou.

[CubsBears29]

Alright, let's do what it takes (even if it means losing again) to do this either Saturday or Sunday.

 

 

Nice BP served up tonight by Marquis and Guzman.
