8/24/08 Pirates (Maholm) at Brewers (Sabathia): 1:05 PM CDT

[TSack27]

It always makes for great highlight clips when the play-by-play guys says something like, "a homerun here from Cameron would put the Brewers up"... then BAM!

 

(He did something like that a week or two ago with a Ryan Braun two-strike comment, too)

[ELCABALLO45]

CAM BOOGIE!!!!!

[jason21nl]

my goodness that was a huge HR

[Menotti80]

crap

[trwi7]

This is not good.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

sigh, this bullpen will be the death of me.

[trwi7]

Ugh. Torres has no control and now we're tied.

[ILuvDaBush]

BS for Solly. He hasn't been as crisp lately as he was when he first ascended.

[Menotti80]

uh oh

[dlk9s]

This will just make the win even better, since it will be in walk-off style.

[Menotti80]

y does jack wilson have to be up right now... grr

[Brewcrewin07]

No worries, the Crew will walk it off in the bottom half.

[jason21nl]

just get outta this inning tied please

[Vgmastr]

Kendall, Counsell, Weeks. I'd be shocked if we don't see a 10th inning.

[Bernman23]

Pinch hit for Kendall I beg of you!

[dlk9s]

sigh, this bullpen will be the death of me.

Brewer's relievers, NL ranks:

 

ERA: 5th

Saves: 1st

BAA: 5th

Wins: 5th

Losses: t2nd best

Save %: 3rd

 

WHIP is only 12th, but is .02 from 7th and .10 from 3rd, so the difference is pretty minor.

 

I can live with this.

[trwi7]

Weeks has a wheel house? Whoa, a Weeks popup? I didn't see that coming.

[Ranier]

How is Weeks consistently late on fastballs right down the middle?

[Vgmastr]

Weeks is awful. Two fastballs right down the middle on 3-1. Swings right through the first one, pops out on the second. Can we please just start Durham everyday?

[Bernman23]

Tied in the 9th and Yost trots out two hitters who have no chance of hitting a home run and a choker. Sometimes he's more concerned with showing favoritism towards his gritty battlers than trying to win. What are we saving Mike Rivera for, in case this goes to 25 innings and he gets hurt?

I don't ever think it's a good idea to put your second catcher in unless it's an emergency.

[jason21nl]

ok now get through this inning and I like our chances to score with who we have up

[Bernman23]

Pirates are lucky hit machines today

[derflotr]

I've never seen so many piece of crap jam-shot singles from one team in a game. Incredible.

[wibadgers23]

How many blooper and jam shot basehits is Pittsburgh gonna get today? Geesh.
