Trade Hall ASAP

I think the Fargo Redhawks need a third baseman.

Strike zone was a postage stamp there

And of course the Cards won today and the Cubs are now up 3-0. This is why it absolutely kills you when you had a chance to gain more ground 3 times last week and couldn't capitalize. Just like that 3.5 GB in the WC again and 5.5 in the division.

There's a lot of baseball left. The Brewers played the Braves at home, where they are very good, and the Twins, also at home, and they've been very good everywhere lately. They lost some tough games against some good teams.

[moofnelson]

Is it Branyan time?

[Brewcrewin07]

With Qualls coming in, I PH Craig "Mr. bases loaded" Counsell here. I wonder if ned will do the same???

[jhart05]

I was thinking that.

 

Pull back Kapler and throw 3TO up there.

Sutton handing out $100 to some retiree throwing his life's savings away on a slot machine at an AZ casino, priceless

 

He can't even give the guy a c-note, either

There isn't alot of time left if I want my goal of being within no more then 2 GB and leading the WC by the ASB.

I am kind of surprised at the call for Melvin to need to make a move. We are currently 3-3 on a 10 game road trip that mostly everyone said they would be happy if the Crew went 5-5. Every team looks a little flat once in a while.

[Robideaux]

If Yost was smart, he'd have brought in Branyan to face the righty.

[jhart05]

No base hit in the inning yet.

 

Com'on Weeks buddy, how about that first hit right here.

[Yeti73]

In Bush's defense (and I won't defend the lack of backing up home), those first three hits were dinks and dunks. That isn't any consolation, but its worth noting. DARN Gabe almost cleared the bags... I'll take the one run. Let's hope Weeks can get on base.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Grab a bat and kill this rally, Rick.

This game, the one you're watching tonight, isn't over yet. We just got a run across without swinging the bat. I'm sorry that you're going to lose your bet, or bragging rights for your ASG standings prediction, or whatever, but don't call it over until it's over.

[Yeti73]

When is the last time the Brewers scored a run after the 5th inning? I believe the whole road trip has been early runs and then they decide not to score anymore.

 

We hardly even get hits after the 5th inning (this one included). Gosh, I'd love to see a Gagne/T-bow meltdown from the opposing side. Feels better when you earn it though.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Brian Roberts, por favor.

 

Weeks is helpless. He doesn't swing so much as chop at the ball. Eventually results have to outweigh potential.

Rickie Weeks < clutch

Have you watched much Brewer baseball this year??? It's over. This team never comes back from deficits this late in games. This inning was there chance, and they blew it. Believe me, I hope I am wrong and they do comeback, but I have seen this same story many many many times this year, and it ends the same almost every time.

 

[TauPentaRei]

I want to see more Gabe Kapler. Outfield, 2B, C... I don't care. Find a place in the line-up for his professionalism.

 

And yes to echo a poster... Brian Roberts is the answer! Let's contribute to the Os of 2010. Man would that be an upgrade.

[bobskube]

Rickie Weeks < clutch

Weeks has a two run single with two outs to win a game by one against the Cardinals. He had a walkoff single in extra innings vs Reds. He also won a game with a triple in the eighth. Can any other player say that?

Agreed. In order for the Brewers to have gained "more" ground last week, they would've had to have put together an 8 game winning streak, with 3 of those coming on the road. They were 8.5 back 2 weeks ago. I'd say they've made up some hefty ground.

 

[jhart05]

Did Yost just say what I thought he did? LOL.

[Brewcrewin07]

Nice pitch you just swung at Ryan.

[bbaehman]

Braun? What is up?
