WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS!

[brewmann04]

yes we need a post game had to listen to the Giants coverage.Sandoval slept with Ghost in his room

[crewcrazy]

Games like this make me feel like I'm not crazy for thinking this is a playoff team. Fantastic win, and let's get the sweep tomorrow before the scuffling Mets come to town. Any official word on if Lincecum is pitching or not?

[PrinceEatMeat]

That was an amazing win! Gotta love that Prince celebration! I love how he just acted like it wasn't a big deal, then he just throws his hands up and smiles as the guys tackle him. Great stuff! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[UeckerAddict]

Lincecum is not. We get a guy making his major league debut. I'm ambivalent.

[BCZF]

Uke "Brian Wilson - well back to the Beach Boys, I guess"

[hawing]

Uecker is so freakin awesome at capturing big moments

Cory Provus had some himself tonight. If you can get postgame audio, it's certainly worth a listen tonight.

 

Please, everyone, if you're sure the game is over before the score goes final, just say so once - and then exit the forum for the night. Let those of us who enjoy following games to the end do so in relative peace. I'm saying this as a Brewers fan, not as an administrator. Thank you.

[The Truth]

Prince Fielder is having an incredible season so far. What a magnificient talent.

[splitterpfj]

What a great effort! Clutch hitting...smart hitting....a home run saving catch....just awesome.

[Ennder]

wow what a great comback glad i kept drinking

You would have been glad you kept drinking if we lost too~.

I just heard Cory's call of the Cameron catch. One of the better calls I've heard from him although I haven't listen to him a whole lot yet.

[brewdude15]

I know this isn't really a game thread type post, but Mark DeRosa is NOT in Cleveland's lineup tonight and was seen making several phone calls prior to the game. People in Cleveland are speculating he's been traded. How much you want to bet if he's been traded it's to STL?? That would be typical.

Baseball Tonight just confirmed he has been traded....to where, we shall find out shortly.

 

 

EDIT: WOW....good call with the Cards. Boy, another buzzkill for the Crew.

[brewmann04]

well Doug will need to counter Stl move tonight But the win was Great and yes it looks likes we get a struggling and banged up Mets team come Mon.

[ecjimg]

just got back from the game. i was hoping you guys had a discussion about kendall pinch running. of course......it just doesnt matter now!

[brewdude15]

Kendall was only put in because of Counsell being shaken up. He took one off the toe, and he's had sore knees apparently.

[hawing]

I just heard Cory's call of the Cameron catch. One of the better calls I've heard from him although I haven't listen to him a whole lot yet.

For the call of that Cam catch, Cory was sounding downright Daron-esque. Only this time the robust call was warranted. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Edit: Listen here.

[brewcrewkid14]

I was thinking the same thing hawing! I can't say I have a problem with it though. Listening to it on the radio was definitely a lot of fun tonight.

 

And I love Uke, going through the sponsors at the end of the game: "This game has been brought to be you Miller Lite--great taste, less filling, and I need one." Something like that http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

[SeriesFinale]

I listened to this one on the Giants' flagship coming home from Santa Cruz (home of Casey McGehee, as we were reminded several times) on California Highway 1, between the cliffs and the coast, and got home just in time for the bottom of the ninth...fantastic, what an experience. That was one roller coaster of a game, maybe my favorite of the year. Being able to see that Cam catch in the post-game was the frosting.

 

I was really impressed with the way the MP crowd sounded over KNBR tonight--huge and loud, and Kuip and Dave Flemming mentioned it a few times.

Yeah, though I think it might have been briefer yet: "...brought to you by Miller Lite - I need one!" I laughed out loud and startled the cats.

Isnt Gerut good for anything? Kendall running? How about Narveson? Hopefully he wouldnt have had Kendall out there if we were down by one!

[sbrylski]

If the audio of the Provus call is available online anywhere, I'd love a link.

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, I was really upset that they sent Kendall out instead of Gerut and that probably would've been one of my first complaints if the Crew had lost that game. Oh man, I can't even imagine if Kendall had been gunned down at home on that Corey hit.

 

Speaking of, I'm a little surprised that wasn't closer--it seemed like Rowand got to it right away and seemed to get a great throw off but it died in the infield and even Jason was able to make it in standing.

Macha shows his love of Kendall again. I hope he doesn't get burned by his use of Kendall.

[pretendastronaut]

Pinch running with Kendall didn't add up, but I noticed when everyone was on the field celebrating, Kendall had his pads on, so if we went to extras, he was going to replace Rivera it would seem.

[logan82]

They would have had to leave Gamel in because he was the last infielder with Hall and Counsell already used up.
