9/18/08 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Harden): 1:20 PM CDT

[Bruce Ciskie]

It's going to take a freak bad pitch and a HR for us to win.

 

And since Rickie Weeks was made to look like Rickie Weeks, it's up to Cameron. Which means we need to hope for the 11th.

[tristarscoop]

Left the bases loaded 3 times. The Dave Bush non-run and the two baserunning mistakes.

 

That's a lot of missed opportunities.

[bucks2281]

That's the THIRD bottom of the ninth HR chokejob in the past 15 months at Wrigley.

 

I want to be mad and upset, but I'm just in shock.

[crewcrazy]

Does anyone really feel we can pull out more clutch runs?

Maybe if we get 3 more innings to try.

[trwi7]

Sweet, McClung going against a patient team in the 10th. This can't not end well.

[Bring Back the Stein]

Who gives up four runs in the bottom of the ninth with two outs in a must-win game BUT the Milwaukee Brewers?

[crewcrazy]

Well, if McClung can piece together a scoreless inning, at least Durham-Braun-Fielder will get a chance.

[tristarscoop]

I'm just ---- frozen. My chest hurts. This team is killing me.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Seriously, I took a phone call for maybe 5 minutes and it turned from a 6-2 win to this. I feel like someone punched me in the gut.

 

Can't wait to hear about the Reed Johnson walkoff.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Occasionally when one actually swings the bat it strikes the ball..............

[pretendastronaut]

Braun playing that third out so casually will haunt my dreams tonight.

[B2k1121]

This game is the end of the season.

[yount19.u]

This is pathetic. Weeks plays his part perfectly, now let's see if McClung can walk a few before giving up the winning run. I hate myself for being such a smart ass about this, but they are just so predictable!

[datrain711]

unbearable

[steve267268]

Well, that does it for me.. Good season Brewers, at least it was exciting for a bit... I'd love to stay emotionally attached to each and every game but i have school, work, and a whole mess of outdoor activities that i would rather be doing than to sit here and watch you continue to flounder under the pressure. Just a bunch of freaking losers....

[chrisisoutrunning]

Who gives up four runs in the bottom of the ninth with two outs in a must-win game BUT the Milwaukee Brewers?

i'm sure the mets could, or have, but i'm not going to try to find out if they have, i'm just praying that soriano doesn't pull one onto waveland...

[Mass Haas]

Only the Willie McGee Game Seven loss in '82 will hurt me more than this one will.

 

I was so looking forward to watching the Mets and Phillies games tonight.

 

Heaven save us from ourselves.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Just give up the walkoff so we can all turn this crap off, Red.

[Bernman23]

Any Brewer fan who would ever judge our chances of making the playoffs based on uniform playoff odds for all teams is clueless. Do you really think this crap happens to the Astros or the Cardinals?

[tristarscoop]

So who's pitching tomorrow?

[bucks2281]

I hope this game doesn't cost us a playoff berth.

 

We may remember this game for many, many years to come. I hate baseball.

[trwi7]

Our only hope is for McClung to somehow get through this inning and then have one of Marmol or Wood's arms fall off while throwing a pitch and have the arm with the ball still attached in the hand go right down the middle thereby knocking the ball and arm into the left field bleachers.

[naivin]

Seth looks very cool and calm out there - not!

[tristarscoop]

So our choices for a starter tomorrow are Jeff "2 1/3 innings" Suppan or Manny "I just got sent down, but I'm back" Parra?

[Bruce Ciskie]

So who's pitching tomorrow?

 

Who cares? It doesn't matter.
