Can the Brewers make it a lucky 13 in a row over the Bucs?

[Ennder]

That lineup is pretty terrible, so why don't you throw some strikes here Looper!

[GormanHarvey]

I don't want to hear any more that JJ has good range. That was an out if not a DP ball

[wibadgers23]

The defense has been pretty suspect the past few games. Fielder made a nice play there though.

[GormanHarvey]

Thay may have not been the greatest idea by Weeks on that behind the back flip, but his momentum was going hard towards leftcenter and the flip was on the money. WAKE UP JJ!!!

[ELCABALLO45]

Pirates lineup isnt THAT bad.

 

And one play doesn't mean Hardy doesnt have good range. Even tho he did look bad on that one.

[cnycerveceros]

This is my fault, I started Looper on my Fantasy team tonight!

 

Lot's of outs left.

[GormanHarvey]

Well lets hope we got all of the garbage out of our system. Looper did not look good and that was a real bad inning for JJ. Cam and Prince saved us from more damage. Lets get some runs!

[GormanHarvey]

Pirates lineup isnt THAT bad.

 

And one play doesn't mean Hardy doesnt have good range. Even tho he did look bad on that one.

No one play doesn't mean that, but I have felt that way all along. Great hands, good arm, postions himself real well and gets rid of the ball quickly and accurately. Range is average IMO. At least that is how I feel watching him since he has been at the major league level

[GormanHarvey]

Thanks Braunie! Welcome home!

[ELCABALLO45]

Ryan Braun!!!

[GormanHarvey]

And another thing - people do not give Prince enough credit for being the athlete that he is. Big Boy can move.

[ELCABALLO45]

Agreed, I would almost say Prince is fast for a 1st baseman.

[GormanHarvey]

Agreed, I would almost say Prince is fast for a 1st baseman.

No doubt in my mind he can go home to 3rd or 1st to 3rd faster than JJ. I really think Billy v.2006 is back for the most part

[ELCABALLO45]

Bill Hall must of heard Gamel homered again tonight.

[GormanHarvey]

Rick Weeks hammers hangers!!

[trwi7]

RICKIE!!!!!

[ELCABALLO45]

Weeks!!

[GormanHarvey]

Bill Hall must of heard Gamel homered again tonight.

Mat is just a machine with the bat. He just looks like a ballplayer!

[TheCrew07]

And another thing - people do not give Prince enough credit for being the athlete that he is. Big Boy can move.

I think you misinterpret the venom... it's because he's a good athlete that his defensive woes are so infuriating.

[ELCABALLO45]

Weeks hit a ball out of the stadium today during batting practice? Wow that's a shot.

[GormanHarvey]

Thats a good point Crew. I probably should have clarified that it is more the announcers/medua that just seem to think or assume that he is a fat immobile blob. He made Berkman bust his butt to beat him to the bag to end the game yesterday. Prince has been all hustle all the time this year and that is a great way to lead on the field. And can I just say that Mike Cameron may be a robot with a built in GPS tracking unit on fly balls. He makes it look soo effortless out there and I enjoy watching that as much or more than anything. Elite CF'ers are amazing to watch.

 

There may be a brawl before the end of this one boys. That one was awfully high and tight

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow, thats why the Pirates are still the joke of baseball.

[cnycerveceros]

Man, that's lame.
