ugly. very ugly.

[Mr QL]

nice

 

didn't even make contact that inning

 

that's what I'm talking about

[crewcrazy]

Apparently, the ump decided that 7 walks was enough for the Brewers today.

[bthurley19]

Wow, that was pathetic.

[naivin]

Weak!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Well, I'd like to thank the leadoff hitter and our best hitter for looking at perfectly good pitches, and our fat hitter for swinging at one he couldn't have hit if he had Yao Ming's arms.

 

That was totally useless. Now we can finish losing this game in spectacular fashion, or maybe something good can happen to us for once.

[chrisisoutrunning]

okay seth, give us another chance... please?

[Mass Haas]

Extra-inning games are so much less fun on the road. Is there anything more deflating than a scoreless top half of the inning -- other than four-run bottom of the 9th's?

[tristarscoop]

I'm pretty sure that was our best chance, I have no faith.

[crewcrazy]

Where have you been the last 17 years? Same teams choking as last year: Brewers and Mets.

To be fair, the Diamondbacks are in the middle of a pretty epic collapse, too.

[naivin]

Rammy. Of course!

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Odds of Jim Edmunds making me jump from a tall building? 1:2? 1:3?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Who the hell did we sign to put in Seth McClung's uniform?

6 run top of the first at home? nothing like knowing you have a .1% chance of winning before you even swing a bat

[datrain711]

hmm ramirez and edmonds this inning. a recipe for disaster

[bthurley19]

I don't have a good feeling about this Ramirez at bat.

Don't speak too soon. I say Soto hits one out. It just makes sense.

[tristarscoop]

IBB?! please!

[naivin]

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Mr QL]

Come on Seth

[trwi7]

Don't know how you call that a ball after calling Braun out on a pitch much worse than that.

[Mr QL]

here comes the pain

[crewcrazy]

7 of the first 10 batters (counting both teams) struck out to start extras, and Ramirez walks. Better than a walk-off HR, I guess.

[sargennm]

Just ridiculous. How do you not call that a strike?

Somewhere, Ned Yost is lighting a cigar, in between updating his fantasy NASCAR Truck series team.
