its Corey Koskie night in Mpls....Great

[JCREW]

awesome reason for a delayed start...

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Koskie appears to have three sons and two throw the ball left handed and they can hit the strike zone

[dlk9s]

Forfeit lineup always means guaranteed win.

[ajpryor]

no radio here...

[logan82]

I think the lineup is actually pretty good. Lots of lefties against a RHP.

 

Only thing I really question is McGehee in the 2 hole. Not a big problem with that either.

[thablingster]

Gotta love the "Let's go Brewers" chants. Lets have a good outing here, BLooper.

[azcheesehead]

I don't have a good feeling about this already.....sorry to be negative. I will be more than glad to be wrong though....

[wibadgers23]

I never have a good feeling when we play in Minneapolis. It seems like we never play well there.

[Mr QL]

This doesn't look good.

[Brewtacular]

I would like to see Gamels 2nd major league homerun. I think that would be a real hoot.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Looper controlled that inning by slowing the inning down and the result is the double play ending the inning

[crewcrazy]

It'd sure be nice to win today, since the Cards already beat the Royals and would move into a first place tie with a Brewers loss. Looks like Looper's been the beneficiary of a couple double play balls already...hopefully he can keep them on the ground and the Brewers can string together a few hits to push some runs across soon.

[wibadgers23]

The Twins just don't miss many mistakes, do they? At least not in this series they haven't.

[pebadger]

Same old crap every time in the dome. They just look like a little league team and it makes me sick.

 

Where is the team that's got the second best record in the NL? Where is the team that has played pretty good fundamental ball since Philadelphia?

[Mr QL]

Ugh, not good. Of course our offense is dead too.

 

Braun's first error in the OF.

[pebadger]

That's the thing about errors. Braun gets the error there, but somebody in the infield clearly needed to be at third base there.

[DHonks]

Wow, where's the defense? Braun with an okay throw into 3rd, only Counsell is backpedaling to get to the bag and Hall's standing off watching it bounce into the dugout. Come on Hall, be more head's up

[pebadger]

I don't think that was Billy's. He was in the cutoff position where he needed to be.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I really hope Jj comes back quickly. I dont want to see Counsell playing everyday much longer and I dont want Hall in there either.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I used to root for the Twins. With each passing series against them, I'm pushed closer and closer to hating them.

[azcheesehead]

That error was DEFINITELY on Counsell. Billy takes the cut for home, Craig should be on third. Rock is saying it was due to the shift, I call BS cuz the ball was in the hole and he should have been moving that direction already.
