It has been said before, but again, some of us here actually hope for the Brewers to win every night.

Peavey, face reality. Are the Brewers going to scratch out 5 runs in the last two innings? No. they are not. Might as well pull for a little baseball history.

[BrewCrewForever]

And what ever happend to Hart at the top of the order?

 

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I mean Im all for someone other then Johnny batting 5, but keep Hart #1.

 

Come on guys get no-hit then maybe you will realize that while your still in 1st, its not going to last long playing like this.

[brewblue1]

Sigh. I hope I'm not the only one who saw this coming with Suppan. He got paid for one month of good pitching last season. Nevermind the previous 4 years of crap like tonite.

 

Another great FA signing for the Crew.

[rluzinski]

Of course it's both. But the Brewers as a team definitely have contributed to Verlander's success tonight.

 

So, the offense would be merely bad and Verlander "pretty good"? You can't have both extremes.

[TauPentaRei]

tomorrow is the end of Rickie's 15 day stint, correct?

 

no apologies for posting this here despite the ad nauseum commentary that probably exists, I want to know... Gwynn down, under the guise of "everyday playing time"?

[bjkrautk]

HAVE THE BREWERS EVER BEEN NO HIT BEFORE? IF SO VS WHO?

 

IIRC, Nolan Ryan no-hit the Brewers (while with the Rangers).

 

 

Now I'll go look it up.... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Ned should've pulled Suppan two innings ago! Another loss caused by Yost leaving the pitcher in too long!

No, I was just pointing out the fact it appeared Suppan was running out of gas in the end of the 6th. Our offense looks terrible today against a very good pitcher, so honestly it doesn't appear to matter who is on the mound, but Ned still left Soup out to dry.

[ChgoBrewFan]

Time for crew to get a hit.

[rluzinski]

The crazy thing is, if i want someone to break up a no hitter, Estrada might be my guy.

[SeriesFinale]

You can't have both extremes.

 

Says who?

[dpapo]

Okay, I am going to have to try to end this no-hitter by stating that the Brewers will get no-hit without a doubt. Not a chance they get a hit today.

[SeriesFinale]

Would Verlander have no-hit the '27 Yankees tonight?

 

Or the '07 Tigers for that matter?

[rluzinski]

That gun has to be way off. Verlander has a nice fastball but 99 in the 7th?

[NYChez]

Verlander throwing 99, at home, and getting his offspeed pitch over the plate - this is a game that no team in baseball would win, and this is the reason why even the greatest teams in baseball history still lose over 50 games in a season.

[thablingster]

Nice plate discipline by Hall tonight, that's another silver lining, lol.

[dpapo]

Like I mentioned earlier, the Tigers announcers are basically saying it is a combination of Verlander having filthy stuff and the Brewer hitters not taking major league swings. Looking tentative, confused and unsure.

[rluzinski]

JESUS!

[RyDogg66]

Hall looking good out there today.

[crewcrazy]

Bill Hall has three walks while everyone else is striking out. Can we just chalk this up to the continuation of the Bizarro Road Trip?

[jloos19]

Wow. If there was ever a night every thing went wrong for a team, it's tonight.

[brettac1]

Scott Erickson no-hit the Brewers, as well.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

after seeing that play i'm thinking we are going to get no hit

[thablingster]

I'd be really really tempted to make fun of Gabe Gross for being slower than Johnny Estrada down the line there, but that was really a good play.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well I do love the fact that Billy has been seeing the ball and has 3 BB tonight.

 

Alright 3 more outs till we get no-hit and can look pathetic and maybe start playing good again.

[gypcasino]

Steve Busby in '74 for the Royals. And Erickson in '94 for the Twins. Ryan got his 300th win in Milwaukee but never no hit them.
