See I don't get excited for No=no's anymore until they start the 8th inning with one. Like Bush a few weeks back he had a chance.

[sargennm]

I love CC. Way to get out of it.

[ELCABALLO45]

I dont get excited for No Hitters until the start of the 7th, because that means he has got threw the order at least twice.

[owbc]

I heart Ryan Braun.

 

How many power hitters put down a bunt to get a rally going?

[sheethead]

CC with 66 pitches (47 strikes) through 6. A no-no would have been out of this world awesome, but I will take a CGSO please.

so someone on here thought it was bushleague? a brewer fan? i'll be the first to say i like it a lot after hearing that description. funny this was brought up... i was talking about this last night with some friends/co-workers... in fact, i am in advertising and may have the opportunity to approach the brewers about doing a playoff run campaign... my idea is based on this very end of game action... the untucking of the jerseys... i think it's cooler than the run and jump hip bump especially considering the backstory of Cameron's explanation. it's pretty solid. what do you guys think?

[ELCABALLO45]

Braun just took Glaus to school

[iluvlamp]

Braun rules. That is all.

[iluvlamp]

I say who cares what they do when the game is over. Unless it involves clubbing baby seals.... It's all silly really.

[LaprilOne]

Not puppies, no, not puppies.

[sargennm]

I think it's pretty cool, and innocuous. I posted a link to the StL newspaper site that had a forum complaining about the shirt untucking and Billy after the HRs. I didn't get either point. I'm watching on TV here in St. Louis and the Cards annoucers went on about two innings how many of the fans here expressed their distate for "Bill Hall's antics." They said they talked to a bunch of players and none of them thought it was a big deal ( the annoucers either).

[Robideaux]

Wow, it sure seems like the ump is calling a really low strike.

 

edit: only sometimes apparently

[iluvlamp]

OK i may be out of it. Who and why does anyone care about the shirts being untucked? Links? How can this possibly be an issue?

[owbc]

If I was a Cardinals fan, I would hate Bill Hall right now. I don't blame them for it--he hit 2 GW home runs in a row.

[ELCABALLO45]

11 LOB

 

Come on CC, keep it going.

[moofnelson]

I think the Brewers are going to have more LOB than Sabathia's going to have pitches thrown.

If I was a Cardinals fan, I would hate Bill Hall right now. I don't blame them for it--he hit 2 GW home runs in a row.

They hate Bill Hall that is fine, I hate Miles and Schumaker.

 

[tristarscoop]

A whole lot of Brewers talk on Baseball Tonight - talking about our baserunning mistakes

[ELCABALLO45]

I can just picture Rillo right now going down "The point of no return" at Wisconsin dells

[sargennm]

Here is the link. One of the posters refers to the Brewers black players as "brothers" and another calls the untucking thing "gay." I'm glad I never see that kind stuff here.

 

Edit: Link now attached

[ELCABALLO45]

Come on CC, none of that.

[tristarscoop]

I said in the IGT last night that I thought Bill would get plunked. He paused, had a "look" and flipped the bat. Now, I'm fairly certain Bill was as shocked as the rest of us and it was more surprise than attitude, but I definitely noticed it and had someone done that against us, I think we'd have been talking about it too.

Sweet dp!

[sargennm]

Nice DP. Man Molina must be real slow.
