Game 142 Overflow

"A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while."- Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh

Huh? Milwaukee "lucked out?"

Ben. Sheets pitched a complete game shut out and out dueled Peavy who gave up only 1 run in 7 innings.
Now, I only read the box score, so maybe I’m missing something-but it read like a pitchers duel, and Sheets came out on top-5hits, 1 BB. Ben stepped up tonight.

The Cardinals really should look into signing him…..

She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.

1st and 3rd

2 outs and he got away with a couple pitches that were drilled just foul.

Went to the Wat (temple) yesterday. Check out Wat Arun on line. LIt incense, poured water

and got soaked in a downpour. Seems to have been strong enough magic to ward off the F-demons. At least for today.

Good win. . .

yeah

he figures he’d give the young guy a day off… his velocity looked down last night anyway

All the young guys get the day off.

In the ’pen, that is.

My God people.....

The guy just needed to sit this one out. If Izzy, or Eck, or anybody else were the closer, there’d be games they didn’t close out too.

Yeah

they’d be on the third night in a row.

Spin it how you like, Ryan Franklin is the new closer.

I don't care if Aaron Miles is the closer as long as the job gets done at this point.

Long term Perez makes sense.

Alot of MR's.....

It would have been his 3rd appearence in four days. Had he not blown two saves, you “might” run him back out there, though with a rested guy like Franklin, maybe not. Fact is, he blew two saves during that time, and probably could have used the “break”.

As for Franklin being the new closer, I can’t tell if you are being serious or not. I’d almost guarantee that Perez gets the next save opportunity though.
