Next Game

Milwaukee Brewers
@ Chicago Cubs

Tuesday, Apr 29, 2008, 7:05 PM CDT
Wrigley Field

Ben Sheets vs Jason Marquis

Complete Coverage >

"If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Chicago". For those of you under 40, that's a reference to this 1969 screwball comedy in which a group of European travelers visited seven countries in 18 days. The Cubs will do that a couple days faster, playing in Chicago, Denver, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago again in a period of 16 days (April 22 through May 9).

Now tell me again why computers schedule better than people?

Baseball note: the Brewers' Mike Cameron's 25-game suspension ended on Sunday; he'll be activated and play tonight.

Hey, remember jacob from Brew Crew Ball? Yeah, I know. Anyway, he sent me a few questions about the Cubs and you can read my answers here.

Today's Starting Pitchers
Jason Marquis
J. Marquis
Cubs		 vs. Ben Sheets
B. Sheets
Brewers
1-0 W-L 3-0
3.47 ERA 0.96
15 SO 24
9 BB 4
3 HR 1
vs. Mil -- vs. Cubs
W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Jason Marquis 1-0 4 4 0 0 0 0 23.1 26 10 9 3 9 15 3.47 1.50
W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Ben Sheets 3-0 4 4 1 1 0 0 28.0 14 3 3 1 4 24 0.96 .64

Sheets and Carlos Zambrano matched zeroes on Opening Day in a game that the Brewers eventually won. Since then Sheets has thrown great -- when he's been healthy; he hasn't pitched in 11 days. If it seems as if he is always pitching against the Cubs, he pretty much is -- Sheets has made 23 career starts vs. the Cubs, 12% of all his career starts. He's 9-7 lifetime, 3.70, and Derrek Lee hits him well (15-for-47, 2 doubles, 5 HR, .319/.313/.681, and no, that OBA isn't a misprint -- that's what happens when you have zero walks and a sacrifice fly).

Jason Marquis will have to be "on" tonight -- he doesn't have that much success vs. the Brewers (4-6, 4.01 in 13 career starts). The pesty Craig Counsell (8-for-21, 2 doubles, a triple, a HR, 4 walks, no strikeouts) hits him well. Marquis might be able to help himself -- he's 1-for-4 (a double) vs. Sheets.

Today's game is on cable in Chicago and in Wisconsin and as usual, more at the MLB.com Mediacenter.

Your “A” game tonight Jason. Let’s get some runs early.

Those were some obnoxious questions, which you answered pretty ably, Al. Ever think of running for office?

by SuperContext on Apr 29, 2008 4:15 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We can turn the tables on Jacob, e.g.:

1. Jacob, in two years will Prince Fielder grow up into a blimp?

2. How does it feel always having to look a few miles south of you to see a popular National League baseball club always in the limelight? Is that why Brewers fan have an inferiority complex?

3. Is their a correlation between the price of cheese and Brewers’ ticket prices?

4. Is Braun getting used to playing left field?

5. How is your relief pitching holding up? Has Gagne learned how to tuck in his shirt yet?

Comment from Brew Crew Ball..

Cruised over to bleedcubbieblue Reading their gameday thread, I can’t tell if its more like middle school or some sort of devolution like Omega Man.

There is actually a bunch of them that are offended because Gagne doesn’t keep his shirt tucked in

Dear Cubs hitters,

Sheets, oft-injured as he is, will be on a pitch count tonight (unless, of course Ned Yost is dumber than I imagine him to be). Please be patient, and get him pulled early, because that Brewers bullpen is delectable. Be patient, then feast on the ‘pen. That is all.

Great advice

One of the joys of this years team is that, so far, their approach seems to be in line with what you just wrote.

by SuperContext on Apr 29, 2008 4:30 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Sheets is good

I really hate to see him do well against the Cubs, and I really hate to see him win for the Brewers period. But I have to say, as a pitcher, I admire that the guy has the kind of stuff he has with pinpoint control. When he’s healthy anyway…..if he could stay healthy, that’d be scary.

Nice work on the questions. You know you have a pretty heated rivalry when you ask those type of questions and get those type of responses. There was some fire in most of those answers.

We should re-visit these questions for the final series at Miller Park. It will be interesting to see what kind of responses there will be then.

Yep, Al. Those were some REALLY fiery answers there! Watch out!

Brewers aren't going anywhere

Not with that bullpen, which shapes up to be among the worst in baseball. Eric Gagne is a $10 million gas can. Combined with the stupid big money contracts also dealt to Mike Cameron (they don’t need him), Guillermo Moto and David Riske???? Little payroll flexibility to fix what ails that pen.

Felix Pie isn’t going to hit Ben Sheets.

He may not get 2 hits off Sheets...

but he will take away at least 2 base hits playing center.

Says who?

Reed Johnson is capable enough in center field. Felix Pie might be a good center fielder, but his defensive prowess is WAY overblown. It’s his fan club over-compensating for the fact that he can’t hit his way out of a paper bag.

way overblown?

he’s got a cannon for an arm and ridiculously good range.

now his arm could get more accurate. and he will learn to get better jumps and take better routes. but that just means he’s only gonna get better, not that he’s not good nw.

by billywan on Apr 29, 2008 6:03 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Johnson is capable...

But Ward really isn’t capable of playing the outfield, too much of a liability. We’ve seen enough Dwaryle adventures out in right this year.

Daryle Ward is capable enough in the outfield. He might not be a good outfielder, but his defensive liabilities are WAY overblown. It’s his fan club over-compensating for the fact that he let’s too many catchable balls drop in front of him, has limited range and is a pure station to station runner on the bases.

This is exactly the sort of half-assed, poorly edited and fact-checked, mean-spirited nonsense that will always keep that site to nothing more than Jeff, and a dozen of his drunk neighbors. I won’t be surprised at all if SB Nation wakes up soon, and goes with another Brewers blogger; someone that can at least attract hits.

Nice job guys; you had a nice chance to market your site, and attract some new visitors, but you decide to to go low brow, and play the penis-envying little brother role.

I'm guessing

that the reason you don’t like Brew Crew Ball is that it’s a Brewers site, aimed at Brewers fans, and sometimes we like to make fun of Cubs/Cubs fans. Some of it’s in good natured fun, and some perhaps is over the line. The thing is, we’re not particularly concerned if you’re offended about what we say about the Cubs, because we didn’t seek you out to tell you what we said about it. You went there on you’re own. It’s not like it doesn’t get hits. It’s constantly growing, especially with SBN 2.0 rolling out. The community there is awesome- I’m sure you don’t see it, but that’s because you’re a Cubs fan. If Jeff were to get replaced (involuntarily), I’m sure a) no one would have seen it coming b) a lot of people would be up in arms and c( I don’t have a c. If all you’ve done is read what Jeff has said in Brewers vs. Cubs game threads, you’re missing out on a lot of the information he’s provided us with, which is a shame.

In short, if you don’t like it, don’t go there. But trust from the perspective of a Brewers fan, it’s a great site.

Also, I’m ok with being a penis-envying little brother, because that means yours is going to get small and shriveled long before mine! YES!!!! Going out with a penis joke!!

You're right

And I was aware of my hypocrisy while writing it, but I do peruse this site to get people’s opinions on what’s happening with their team, much like I do with most of the blogs on SBN. I just figured I’d post it, even though I was reluctant to. Plus, I don’t often get to use a penis joke, which is a plus.

It's not trolling

if I don’t try to bait people with stupid comments, and I posted it in a civil manner. Also, if you had read my other post, I said that I read this site for opinions from a different angle- not just this site either, but other SBN sites. And I felt the need to comment to clarify. Not to call names, not to try to anger anybody. To clarify something that I thought was an uninformed opinion- more specifically, what you said about Jeff, because I read him on a daily basis, whereas I’m guessing you read him the 15ish times a year when the Brewers play the Cubs.

Also, thanks for letting me know about what you’re packing (I guess?)

by Stoa on Apr 29, 2008 8:26 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You need to re-read my posts...

and perhaps some of my other comments on this board. I have no problem with the Brewers. I’m a baseball fan, and follow most teams quite a bit. And actually, someone that I respect spoke very highly of Jeff last year, so I tried following him for about a month. Frankly though, I found the one-sided, opinionated slant of that site a real turn-off; Little to nothing to do with me being a Cubs fan; it’s just not a good forum for ideas and diverse views. And a few of your posters are belligerent and nasty.

It would have been nice to find out that this has changed. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like it though.

by Damen Jackson on Apr 29, 2008 10:03 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm going to (try to) end with this:

Perhaps it’s one-sided because it’s not a general baseball blog- it’s a Brewers blog. I don’t know how many times I have to say this to get you to understand that.

If you don’t like it, there are other Brewers blogs. Go there instead.

Just wonderin'

Lou has Pie in CF and RJ in LF. Is this a two game audition for Felix? It would be very easy (and justifiable) for Lou to move RJ back to CF when Sori returns. He’s been doing great as a lead-off man and would give us a high OBP at #2.

I would hate to see Felix get buried forever (or sent down), but OTOH, Lou is being paid to win games with this high-payroll team.
