Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Sheets out 4 to 6 weeks hurts, but being up 4 1/2 games helps. I just hope the Brewers are not after Contrares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 10-1 win over the Snakes showed good offense. I hope the D-Backs get hot this weekend. I'll be at tomorrow Brewer game in LF, hopefully Barry is playing but goes homerless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 With the Sox being so far out of it for most of the season (and being tied up with other things), I haven't been paying much attention to other teams. Should the Cubs make the playoffs, what are their chances on making it far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Boston? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. NYM? No. Philadelphia? No. Boston? No. Were the Cardinals better than the Mets, Dodgers, and Padres last year? That's not the question you have to ask. The question is, can you win 3/5 and 4/7? And you have to think that Zambrano can get 3 of those wins on his own, maybe even 4 if the schedule falls out right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't except the Cardinals as world champions even though they won it fair and square, winning the division and winning all of their playoff series. If your pitching comes at the right time, just like ours did in 2005, then you'll be tough to beat. The Cardinals had something like the 13th best regular season record in all of baseball and still ended up winning it all, crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I thought that Capuano was a product of his home park going into 2006, but then he made me feel kinda stupid last year. Hell, a certain cokehead from the 80s even said something that appered to be correct for once, which just totally blew my mind. But check out the road stats this year. The guy is sporting a 6.40 ERA, a 1.86 WHIP, and opponents are batting .336 against him. I think that I can do better than that with my 65 MPH fastball.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ryan Braun better be NL Rookie of the Year if he continues at this pace. He went right into the #3 hole in the order, and hit like there is no difference between Triple A and NL pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 The Brewers just aren't that good anymore. They're something like 6 games under .500 since they started off the year hot. Their offense has been real mediocre lately, so I guess overpaying for Linebrink makes sense. J.J. Hardy's power has absolutely vanished.

And even though Hall numbers are down this year, having Tony Graf. in OF shows they were missing something. ... Also, the CUbs can not possibly continue to play at this pace, can they? If so, we will look at the Cubs-Sox series as when it all started ... sigh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It all started in the offseason for the Cubs, where they bought themselves a lot of talent. They couldn't possibly keep losing as many one run games in crazy fashion as they were for the first 3 months of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 (edited) The Brewers just bent over tonight and took one. Suppan is looking only slightly better than Contreras right now. I'll say it again, the Cubs can not keep up the pace they are on for the rest of the year. And the Brewers may need to do more than add Linebrink Edited July 26, 2007 by Greg The Bull Luzinski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthsideNorthsideFan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Perspective- Brewers are sick at home, 8 under .500 on the road. If they falter at all at home the rest of this season, they may be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Gotta love that the Brewers keep letting the worst hitter in baseball over their last 50 at-bats leadoff. Good thing they went out and overpaid for an average set-up man instead of acquiring offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a terrible trade -- Gwynn Jr is pretty much Jerry Owens. Just what we need -- more fourth OFers. Ever since this thread was put up, Milwaukee has tanked. Me thinks this thread needs to be merged with the reular 'catch-all' thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
