Haven't hit a home run yet this year? Feeling powerless against the long ball blues? Come on over to Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI. We can fix you up for little or no charge. Get homer happy in Milwaukee, WI. You'll be glad you did!

[badgerfletch]

Why is Parra still in there?

[sheethead]

A five run lead for the Brewer pitching staff? Might as well be a tie game.

[brewdude15]

Macha finally decides to pull Parra. Great. So we go throw out DiFelice, who has struggled a bunch recently? Yeah...might as well expect a tie pretty soon.

[pretendastronaut]

Good job by Macha to take Parra out after the 9th hit in the last two innings. Way to wait until the perfect moment.

[brewmann04]

wow Thankfully we Fired Castro and Brought Up Bosio ( I like Chris) but it the Point the Pitchers are Horrible 13 hits so far today.

[Yeti73]

Luxair Pick: Bill Hall...Can't they just swap those cards out? On a day like today, the person stands a really good chance.

Parra had a Juan Nieves start today. 5 and 2/3 with an ERA over 9, yet it would take a serious bullpen meltdown in order for Manny to lose. I think Manny got tired. Everything was up.

[badgerfletch]

Just realized Parra has the 14th highest BABIP of all time for pitchers with over 200 IP. He'll probably move into 12th or 13th after this game.

So I had to go look at this list, of the 13 pitchers that are worse than Parra in this regard, no less than 10 retired before the year 1900. The other three have played most of their career in this century, and one of them is former Brewer Dana Eveland

[badgerfletch]

And if Parra wanted to drop out of the worst 100 ever his Babip needs to go down 24 points from the .347 at the start of the day

[young guns]

That goes for his last two homers actually. I'm pretty sure his only homer last year was thanks to the short porch in Houston as well.

Just to clear this up. Kendall hit 2 homers last year. The first of which went off the foul(fowl) pole on the short porch and the second was at home against the Reds. So, 2 of his last 3 homers were thanks to the short porch in Houston. I swear Kendall might get double digit homers if he played for Houston, and he played as much as he plays for us.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

Gonzalez seems to have the old George Brett/Wade Boggs/Barry Bonds strike zone. If we doesn't swing at a 2-strike pitch, it will be called a ball.

[badgerfletch]

Kouzmanoff is 5-5 and has seen 11 pitches all day

[brewmann04]

wow it seems like the crew can't win one w/o makeing the fans crazy.

I'm not watching the game, but gameday had the last pitch a few inches off the plate in that at bat

[jeffy]

Unbelievable!

[wibadgers23]

Don't worry, Lopez will now hit a grand slam at some point today.

[ELCABALLO45]

That is just sad. I can't even get mad at this anymore, Its easier just to laugh.

[Funketown]

I guess you've got to give them for making this interesting...My pride was hoping that they could pick up a game on the Cubs...C'mon bullpen/defense.

[joepepsi]

I can't listen to this game anymore. Wake me up when it's over........

[afeter]

Unbelievable!

what happened, for those of us following gameday and the IGT

[markedman5]

That in a nutshell is why Lopez has been with a hundred teams in 5 years.

 

 

Nice effort........wow.

[jeffy]

Feels like they already have lost. Stetter has sucked lately...

[ELCABALLO45]

Unbelievable!

Lopez goes back to catch a pop up to end the inning. Drops it, runner scores. Inning still going.
