I forgot to mention infield hits.

[crewcrazy]

You cannot just throw away division games like this if you want to win a championship. The Cubs have shown more composure.

Hardy, Braun, and Branyan have been pretty composed tonight. It's Weeks' error and Torres' inability to throw strikes that's killing the Brewers tonight.

You're right, which is probably a sign that we cannot go deep into the playoffs with a far below average second baseman and an out-of-position closer.

Man, I would hate to be at this game with all the Cubs fans there. Now I know how Vikings fans feel when the Packers come into town.

[MoneyballMan]

Well, I need to be up at 3am for a very early flight. I guess if they win this in the bottom of the 9th, I'll read about it.

[crewcrazy]

Nice effort there, Hall.

[brains and braun]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Ennder]

Marmol will magically gain his composure in the ninth, I'm sure. Ugh what crappy games the last two days. We suck

 

Marmol feasts on teams with poor plate discipline, we'll strike ourselves out while he throws 50% balls.

[sheethead]

Good to see Bill Hall get into the act tonight. Why make plays when you can just lose instead. Gave this game away tonight.

[pebadger]

Yeah, but lots of season ticket holders made money, so that makes it OK.

[thunderbat30]

The chant of "Let's go Cubbies" makes me want to do a lot of illegal things.

[datrain711]

a bunch of seemingly ice cold hitters will have to heat up in a hurry. hopefully wild marmol makes an appearance. and hopefully we don't swing at bad pitches

[ELCABALLO45]

We should not of lost this game...

[moofnelson]

Well, we still need just a split in this series. Hopefully Sheets will be on his game tomorrow and we can see one of those priceless Zambrano meltdowns.

[JET15]

Make the world a better place. Punch a Cub fan in the face.

[BadgerFan]

Too many Cubs fans there. The entire stadium erupted when the Cubs scored.

What else is new? Unless the Cubs are 25 games below .500, their fans are always going to come up here. Heck, they are used to paying $100 a seat to sit in the upper deck, and they can sit in the loge for that kind of coin at MP.

 

[Oldcity]

What the hell was Hall doing? Just gave up on it...

 

Also if Yost lets Kendall hit this inning my keyboard may be in pieces.

[crewcrazy]

So-called Brewer fans need to stop selling their tickets online to Cubs fans -- that's the real problem.

 

The key to beating Marmol is laying off the crap out of the zone. Unfortunately, Bill Hall, Mike Cameron, and Jason Kendall hit this inning.

[hurricanecrush]

This games over already? I could have swore the home team gets to bat in the ninth.

[brewerjamie15]

Effective defensive changes are over rated.

[sargennm]

It's not over. Let's go!

[MoneyballMan]

Yeah, but lots of season ticket holders made money, so that makes it OK.

Don't Brewers fans know what eBay is? I think it's a free market and everyone is free to bid if someone can't make it to a game. Don't generalize about season ticket holders - if I can't make it to a game, what am I supposed to do, just throw the tickets away? I'm sure there were plenty available today if you wanted to buy some.

[ELCABALLO45]

Bill Hall should never play against a righty

[Ennder]

This game is as much on Hall as Weeks, sorry but he blew the play at 3B that led to those runs and that swing was just horrible.

[brains and braun]

I am pretty sure that during this series I will use up at least one of my three strikes.
