06/01/08 Astros (Chacon) at Brewers (Bush): 1:05 PM CDT

[Greg Vaughn]

finally a "coast" game. We needed this in the worst way.

[Brewer Fever]

Been waiting a while for a game like this...a laugher so far. Let's hope the game continues on it's present track. And while going for a sweep no less. Wow.

[Brewer Fever]

Hate to nitpick, but shouldn't Bush be bunting here? If for nothing else than for good in-game practice at it?

[razzzorsharp]

I think it's the same mentallity as to not take extra bases when you are up by X runs. Unwritten rules I guess.

[jjgott]

C'mon Braun! Time For A Slammer!

[crewcrazy]

Complete lack of patience by Braun there. We needed baserunners.

 

I do love that Braun grounded out before Brian could finish his lovefest on Braun's RBI production, though.

Bush pitching very well today.

Astros Pitch Count Update:

 

4 IP, 126 pitches

[crewcrazy]

There's a K from Russell -- it's an official 3TO game!

[jordanmuehl]

This could be the game this team needed to put it into an extra gear and help it really turn the corner -- the offense is getting help from everyone (even non-regular starters) and Bush is pitching well.

Gabe Gross hits a walk off HR in the bottom of the 10th! The best part, it was off a lefty.

His two run triple was off a lefty too.

And Hall shuns the infield after a routine around the horn after he nicely fields a groundball.

 

I am excited to see Billy's at bat to see what he does.

The Brewers ahve left 10 men on base today. Where's the gnashing of the teeth that usually accompanies that?

I was about to say the same thing!

[UndraftedFA]

My parents don't get to many games, but the ones they do make always seem to go like this. I should get them season tickets!

[rluzinski]

Dave Bush's ERA under 5.5!! How about he gets that under 5.0 before the all star game?

Geoff Jenkins hit a game-tying pinch-hit HR for the Phillies today, too. Looks like even former Brewers are crushing the ball today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Don't recall ever seeing a 10 - 10 - 0 -10 linescore

[jvrocksaz]

The Brewer back ups (the ones who got starts today), Dillon, Kapler, Rivera & Counsell go 7 for 15 with 5 RBI's... Amazing!

First sweep since the second series of the year against San Francisco...incredible. Bring on the Diamondbacks and their slew of lefty pitchers.

[AJAY]

Nice to see the boys finish the job this time. We really needed this.

About time they stomped someone. Very enjoyable game! Now if only the Scrubbies would lose some games.

I think simply, they put 10 runs in.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

I'm really glad I went to a game for once and got to see the Brewers open it up on offense and whoop a team. Can't remember the last time I didn't go to a nail bitter.
