05/22/00 Brewer Classic: Vs Astros 9th -late inning comeback

[BCZF]

I question this being a "classic"..Brew comes back from a 9-2 defecit in the 9th.. In the last days of County Stadium and there are approx 15 people in the stands..I NEVER want to see crap like this again.

The most expensive seat in the place was $10 that day. I miss those days.

Wow, Lyle Mouton was just on.... I don't miss those days, though the $10 seats would be nice.

I completely forgot that Charlie Hayes ever donned a Brewer uniform. Wow.

[BCZF]

Vasgersian has a story about Charlie Hayes he tells all the time, as he was running up to first for either a walk or a single (dont remember) some guy in the stands shouted "Hey Charlie! You gonna make me a butter sammich?!" or something like that, it was caught on the tv mic and Vasgersian broke down in laughter..

 

Juan Acevedo sighting.. Man I hate this time in Brewer history..

[BCZF]

Sean Berry mentioned [shudder]

[hawing]

Plus Bill laid out all the highlights right from the start. Down 9-2 in the ninth, comeback to force extra innings, and a Jose K walkoff in the 10th. OK...so why watch before 8:30 or so? if that early?

To see some vintage Marquis Grissom?

Nine times out of ten, this game is over, over, over.

 

This was the 10th time.

 

M-Lo with runners on first and second... and BANG. Single to left.

 

Wagner throws a wild pitch to let runners advance into scoring position.

 

And Burnitz singles to right to TIE THE GAME.

[PeaveyFury]

Kind of disturbing to be watching a game from 6 years ago knowing that the third baseman for the Astros is no longer with us.

Did I see Raul Casanova take over for Henry Blanco earlier?

I was actually one of those 15 people. It was awesome because tickets were 1 or 2 dollars and you had the whole place to yourself. It was a makeup doubleheader on a Monday afternoon, and it wasn't on the original schedule. Plenty of seats available. Not only was that comeback awesome, but we also won the second game.

 

It's amazing how many scrubs and rejects we had on the team back then. Thank god those days are over.

 

It's worth saying again . . . thank god those days are over.

Agreed. When i saw Lopes come out when Jose hit the game winner, i vomited a little in my mouth. I forgot how pathetic those years were.

[hawing]

This must be why they included this game in the "classics": we're more likely to appreciate the present if we get occasional reminders of the dark years.

 

(That scraping noise you hear is me at the bottom of the barrel, looking for an answer that makes more sense.)
