5/9/08 Cardinals (Wellemeyer) at Brewers (Parra): 7:05 PM CDT

New drinking game -- take a shot every time a Brewer pops up to the shallow OF with a runner in scoring position.

Aaand...the IGT turns in to the 'Drunk Thread. Part II"

P.S...JJ and Prince...anytime you feel like playing defense would be great.

Hey Prince, about 99% of the first basemen in the league make that play.

[BrewCrewForever]

Bad throw by JJ, but there is no excuse to not pick that ball by Prince. Fat out of shape bar league softball 1B make that scoop.

[endaround]

Np Bill starting off the inning with a home run is worse than either an error or a walk

[Fike85]

I'd bet $53.86 that the majority of posters on this website, given one week of training, would be better at picking balls out of the dirt than Prince Fielder.

I wonder if the Cardinals stole a sign in the last inning. The Brewers haven't tried a hit and run all year, yet St. Louis pitches out twice with Gwynn on first.

[endaround]

The Brewer try to hit and run all the time

[Fatter than Joey]

Brewers H&R a bit

[BrewCrewForever]

Double play please!

[Fatter than Joey]

I think LaRussa just thinks, ..."If I was a bad manager, what would I do with TGJ on first...."

[davemakovec]

Well, Prince redeemed himself on that one, right there.

 

Whew.

 

I also find it sad that the hit and run was so poor that they even managed a pitch-out.

[moofnelson]

Hey Prince, Nice Scoop!! Now 100% of the first basemen in the league make that play!

[endaround]

Not only was it a pitch out, it was the 2nd one so there was no way you were fooling anybody

[davemakovec]

Good point.

[moofnelson]

The Brewer try to hit and run all the time

I guess they must not be very successful at it, because off the top of my head I don't recall any. Then again, to try a hit and run a team has to have a player successfully reach first base. Maybe that is why I don't recall any hit and run attempts.

[hurricanecrush]

Double play please!

Can you please request a three run inning?

Hey BA, they are thin in the Majors as well.

[davemakovec]

Braun got things started nicely there. I want something out of Fielder, here.

That was something.

Prince hacks 3-0...nice one to get Braun over to third. First time in awhile that Braun and Prince have gotten back-to-back hits, isn't it?

They just did it with Rivera and Villaneuva the other day.

Well in this game hasn't happened since the 1st

 

[BrewCrewForever]

Go on contact?

Whoops...forgot about that. Could be because Braun's hit was an infield single.

Ugh...and that would be why running on contact isn't a good idea with 0 outs.
