Tiny by sheeter on Comment 146 comments

Tonight the Crew sends out Yovani Gallardo against Brian Bullington for Pittsburg.

With a small sample size warning, I can tell you this: While Bullington gives up 5 runs every three innings, he also gets a hit EVERY TIME HE BATS!!!!

Anyhow, Your Milwaukee Brewers:

Weeks 2B
Gross LF
Braun 3B
Fielder 1B
Hart CF
Jenkin LF
Estrada C
Hardy SS
Gallardo P

Note to the Nedder: Pitch around this Bullington guy- he hasn't made an out this whole year!

Go Brewers!!

will he
drive in more runs than he allows? I say yes

Close
He had more hits than runs allowed which is still pretty impressive.

C'mon Rickie!
hate that getting doubled off first on a line drive to center

Was it a hit and run?
It'd be a bit more understandable then.

Don't think so
I was a litte distracted, but I think that it was just bad judgement by Weeks.  It was a sinking liner that looked like it had a chance to drop, but with no outs he has to be sure on that.

by sheeter on Sep 11, 2007 6:15 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

First inning
I was surprised Rickie got on base without drawing a walk and then I was surprised by him, of all people, getting doubled off first on a line drive to center. Maybe the team can keep surprising me with two blowout wins here.

Estrada

So did Johnny Estrada suddenly think
his arms were 10 feet long when he swung at that pitch?

Ok.  Cheap shot.  But it's probably as fair as posting those hilarious photos of Soriano swinging at a ball that bounced 10 feet in front of the plate.

Laroche reminds me of me when he strikes out...
... I got hit by a pitch when I was 8 and I was scared of the ball.  I spent about 15 games of my first little league season after getting hit staring at pitches hoping they'd get to 4 balls before they got to 3 strikes.  Then I'd make irritated faces at the ump everytime he called a strike, even when it was right down the middle.

Sort of like Laroche just did.  He did the same thing last night too...

Glad to see the bullpen is up already
And, hey, it's Cordero. Maybe Turnbow is just going to load the bases to make it a save situation.

4-4 Cubs Stros
I like breaking out the Cubs Lose flag image, just to piss off the Cub lurkers.  C'mon, Cecil Cooper!

Wow
A certain team you know has just won 9 out of 13.

I guess I was understated
I only thought they'd win 7 of 9 or 8 of 11. Whoops!

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
