Cappy just keeps on getting out of trouble. We are fortunate only to be down by 1 right now.

[crewcrazy]

I really like how good JJ is at going to his left...it's getting to the point where I'm surprised if he doesn't get anything hit up the middle.

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice D there JJ! Now this AB swing the bat, when you do your usually pretty good.

[wOOgiE22]

Man, Rickie needs to pick it up. His average is creeping closer to the .220 range!

[BrewCrewForever]

Its as easy as 1-2-3, but for the wrong team. I have this bad feeling of a 1-0 final.

[pitchleague]

nice inning there, folks

[wOOgiE22]

All we need to do is keep this game close and get to the Astros bullpen. I think we will be fine then.

[wOOgiE22]

Come on boys lets get some runs!

[COOOOP]

Wow this game is moving incredibly fast. Lets get some people to home!

[crewcrazy]

Cappy's done a good job after a rocky start, but now is the time I start to get worried -- he's through 5 innings. Has he been able to get through the 6th in any of his starts yet?

[lukevan]

Cap is keeping us in it. Let's get him some offense, no more of the Ben Sheets treatment!

I hate that stupid train they have in that park.

I never minded the train until I saw Bob Brainerd in it.

 

Did anyone notice that Brian Anderson got 'taller' tonight?

[COOOOP]

73 pitches for Oswalt top of the 6th?

 

We are really working the count, arent we?

[COOOOP]

Hardy is amazing with the glove!

[crewcrazy]

Right now this game is screaming "Complete Game Shutout".

[pitchleague]

well, there's a start. Let's go Gross!

[rluzinski]

Someone should create an adjusted RBI. Something like (RBI / (runners per PA)). does that even work?

 

It wouldn't be horrible to just look at the % of runners in scoring position that were plated. I'm not a big fan though, since you can have a batter that plates a bunch of guys but also kills rallies with a bunch of outs. Generally speaking, I want a batter to maximize team runs, not RBIs. Now, down by one or in a tie game...

[1992casey]

It's fun watching Carlos Lee play LF now that he's an Astro.

[JET15]

Why didn;t Jenks go all the way on that double? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[pitchleague]

now that's the Carlos Lee defense we have grown to love.

 

LET'S SCORE!!!

[crewcrazy]

Oh no...FSN Houston just showed Spurling getting ready in the pen.

[Ennder]

At the very least we are forcing Oswalt out of the game after this inning.

[pitchleague]

is the "contact" play on here, with Jenks at third?

[JET15]

Tony is 381 with RISP

 

(Edit: make that 429)

[COOOOP]

Sigh, and I wanted to see the lightning bolt Counsell pic so badly too.
