2009-07-20 Brewers (Burns) at Pittsburgh (Ohlendorf) : 6:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 8-5]

[brewers19]

The storms are moving north because the moisture is originating from the tropics (southerly flow).

Nerd.

I'm posting on brewerfan.net, wasn't that already obvious?

[IslandsAC]

Hello strangers. I live down in Houston now, broke down and got MLB.tv and was wondering when the rain delay would lift... and then I remembered, my old pals at Brewerfan would never let me down. Go Crew!

[ELCABALLO45]

Yea thats the real lin up, per Brian Anderson.

 

Brewers classic on right now.

Which makes being a pariah here that much worse.

Per TH:

It looks like the tarp is coming off but the time of game isn't being reported yet. Rumor has it the game will start at 9:15 (in Pittsburgh, 8:15 in MKE).

Since I'm bored with the rain delay and since Felipe is playing tonight and wearing his #3, here are the other people who have worn #3 for the Brewers/Pilots:

 

Joe Schultz, MGR (1969)

Joe Lahoud, OF (1972-73)

Deron Johnson, 1B (1974)

Gorman Thomas, OF (1975-76)

Ed Kirkpatrick, IF (1977)

Juan Castillo, IF (1986-89)

Dante Bichette, OF (1991)

Phil Garner, MGR (1992-1999)

Jerry Royster, CH/MGR (2000-2002)

Ned Yost, MGR (2003-2008)

 

Yikes. Not exactly a murderer's row. Also did not realize how many years the manager wore #3.

[sauveb]

Joe Lahoud, the guy who hit the first foul ball that I ever caught at a MLB game.

The storms are moving north because the moisture is originating from the tropics (southerly flow). Looks like the rain is ending and they should start by 8 PM.

Count me in as a member of the Weather Nerd Club (through much of my childhood I wanted to be a meteorologist).

 

 

On a different note - it's very weird watching the Rain Delay Brewers Classics broadcast, hearing Brian Anderson, seeing Braun, Fielder, Gallardo . . . and then seeing Geoff Jenkins.

 

I know he was a Brewer just a short time ago, but last season really was a watershed. Feels like a lot has happened since Geoff was in Milwaukee.

[Oldcity]

No kidding. I saw Jenkins, Hart and Gross and thought, "So they sat Braun this game?" Remembered after a minute that, oh yeah, Braun used to play third.

[Schlitz001]

Can anyone provide a status update for this game getting played?

Gameday says 'Warmup.'

[ELCABALLO45]

"And he loves it!"

[Invader3K]

Ah, so that was the infamous Braun "strut" game against the Astros.

[dlk9s]

Broadcast just came on on MLB.tv (yes, the double "on" was on purpose).

[dlk9s]

It's nice to start watching this game knowing we're going to win.

[sargennm]

First pitch swinging hit. I love it!

[ELCABALLO45]

Welcome to Milwaukee!

[Invader3K]

One pitch and he's on. Nice debut.

[ELCABALLO45]

Okay, lets not get cocky about this now.

[razzzorsharp]

And Lopez is picked off...

[ClubLevel]

Lopez, fitting right in...

[PrinceEatMeat]

And then he blows it and gets picked off.
