2009-05-18 Brewers (Looper) at Cardinals (Lohse): 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers Win, 8-4]

I'm a little embarrassed I don't know this, but do partially-played games that get postponed start over? Cause I thought the Brewers were down 2-0 on Friday, and for some reason I always thought that the game picks up where it left off. Can anybody provide clarification on this?

[steve267268]

Anyone know what channel this game is on for directv?

[Menotti80]

congrats jason on #2000!

None of Friday's stats count - this game started over completely.

 

ETA: - I'm not sure of the exact rule - think it may have something to do with it not being an official game before it was postponed and that's why the game starts over.

Don't feel bad, I had the same question when it got rained out. If the game doesn't go 5 innings it is cancelled and replayed. If it does, the score is final. If the score is tied, then it is restarted from the same score.

GAMEL!!!

 

THAT WAS FOR RICKIE!!

[thablingster]

Nice Gamel, nice. You could hear that one was gone off the bat.

[strawbossisevil]

Matthew Gamel!!!!!! Welcome to the club!

[PrinceEatMeat]

YES! The Mat Gamel era has begun!

[Mr QL]

first of many many more to come

[phxMILWfan]

Let's hope whoever caught that ball is nice about exchanging it with Gamel.

[crossface21]

I don't know if I'm happier to see that Gamel homered, or that it gives us a great chance to be able to untuck the shirts later on.

[Menotti80]

woohoo #1 of hopefully many!

 

now mow them down looper!

[PKBadger]

Let's hope whoever caught that ball is nice about exchanging it with Gamel.

The Saint Looey Youngster has requested a signed photo, a Gamel bat, a Braun signed bat, a Fielder signed bat, and he wants to view Weeks' surgery this week from the gallery.

[razzzorsharp]

Nice, that was a impressive shot on a tomohawk.

and tickets to a Brewers-Yankees game some time in the future.

[pretendastronaut]

Hahaha KegStand. Watching the surgery, good stuff.

 

Gamel turned on that pitch lightning quick. That was insane.

[phxMILWfan]

Hilarious shot of the dugout and the guys reaction to Gamel.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Didn't it go into the bullpen? Non-issue there.

[TheCrew07]

The HY saga continues... but didn't that ball go into the bullpen?

 

Congrats Mat... wow that was a rocket.

[phxMILWfan]

Nice catch by Braun. Just wish he would have been a little classier afterwards.

[pretendastronaut]

So the Cards' bullpen will request that the Crew quits untucking. This is going to get messy.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Web Gem for Braun

[Schlitz001]

That catch by Braun was insane. I'm glad I tuned in to this one.

[phxMILWfan]

The ball will be given to Gamel in exchange for the bottom 6 inches of every Brewers uniform shirt.
