Gift runs. Such stupid mistakes.

[sheetswannabe]

I agree, it was a hardhit ball and very tricky..

[trwi7]

Keep the ball down Bush, geez.

[sheetswannabe]

Bush isnt melting, Shotty defense...

[trwi7]

My God this umpire is horrible. Is there even a strike zone today?

[ELCABALLO45]

WHERE DID THAT MISS?

[bacon06]

The high strike is non existent. That's gonna get annoying.

[aracko]

Pitch around him. Load them up for the French guy.

[sheetswannabe]

Thank god, we escaped hell.

[yfinn6]

All is well. It's 2-2. No sweat.

 

The ball hit at Hall was a rocket, if he fielded that it would have been one of the plays of the year. The ball hit to Braun maybe could have been caught, but playing LF when a left handed batter is up and he kills the ball is tough to play, the kind of play was bound to happen with Braun sooner or later. He came close but not quite. I think he'll get that in the future.

 

Time to start over, we literally stole 2 runs from them, they worked their butts off for their 2. We'll get more!

Way to control the damage Bush (with a little help from Dumpster).

[ELCABALLO45]

Ok guys, Im going to go out on a limb and say 2 runs WILL NOT win this game http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

Goes to show how ERA can be a bit misleading as well. Two earned runs for Bush when Braun's should have been an error, and a bad hop single.

[owbc]

After Yost's pep talk, that went rather smoothly.

[RightFieldCoder]

Weeks just tied the all-time record for consecutive games scoring a run, with 16, tying Molitor.

According to Wikipedia, two players (Red Rolfe and Kenny Lofton) had 18 game streaks.

The second inning has definately killed my happy mood.

[olliegjw]

How is that not an error on Braun?

Cubs didn't want it to be an error, because then they knew Braun would hit a home run this game.

[ELCABALLO45]

Jenkins first RBI of the year with Philly

SKY IS FALLING

 

BUNNY RABBITS IS COMING

Bush isnt melting, Shotty defense...

A leadoff walk has nothing to do with defense.

 

[owbc]

And a leadoff walk has nothing to do with melting down, especially when strike 3 was called a ball.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Dave Bush is no Cy Young, he's going to give up runs from time to time - he did well to avoid the inning getting worse than it already was...the game's tied and Dempster's pitching for the Cubs - I still like the Brewers' chances

[trwi7]

Weeks is getting booed lol.

[bthurley19]

If Weeks gets hit here, there is going to be a brawl.

[tristarscoop]

I wasn't doubting Bush (yet) but I'm just saying a leadoff walk is ALWAYS going to bite you.
