In honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day, I hope Suppan makes the scurvy Astros walk the plank.

[hawing]

I guess it's ultimately good news that the Cubs lost, even though it reduces STL's magic number to 4.

 

Edit: clean first inning! Woot Soup!

[SquirrelMaster]

Anyone know what channel this is on in Milwaukee? My guide says its supposed to be on fox sports net, AND wmlw, but there is a football game on FSN, and wmlw is blacked out.

 

Btw, I'm on TW cable

[BrewCrewForever]

At this point the Cubs and Astros losing is good. I would at least like to see the Brewers take 2nd place in the Central.

[davego]

Running down the Cubs would be good. I don't want to hear that a) these games don't matter or b) that the 'Crew would be better off losing!

[logan82]

Losing would help our draft slot. I still hate to dee the Brewers lose.

[Invader3K]

A second place finish for the Crew at this point would be a really nice accomplishment, given how this season has gone in general.

[thablingster]

Brad Fischer held a runner at third and didn't get him thrown out at the plate, and he gets booed. LOL.

 

Fielder will get that elusive RBI soon!

[Schlitz001]

Prince looked UPSET at not getting that RBI, but it didn't look clear cut that Gerut would have scored had he been waved around.

[Ennder]

Amazing how much better the team looks with a healthy rotation, even if it is still ultimately a mediocre one.

[trwi7]

Haha. Of all the times Fischer decides to hold a runner it has to be this time.

[ELCABALLO45]

Of course that would happen.

 

Who cares? Just send him

[hawing]

Fine, Coop - keep bringing in pitchers. You'll wish you hadn't by the 11th inning...

 

It's nice that Ken's roll of the dice in bringing in Gerut paid off.

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah and playing the D-Backs, Cubs and Astors help

[ELCABALLO45]

Is Gamel ok? Like C-Patt instead of Gamel? really macha?

[hawing]

Jody Gerut, playing for a 2010 gig.

 

Hey Ryan, why not get on base and give Prince another chance tonight? Because we do NOT want a bottom of the ninth.

 

Edit: Thanks. Come on, Prince.

[trwi7]

How about a walk to break the team walk and RBI record in the same plate appearance? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[ELCABALLO45]

THERE WE GO PRINCE!!

[hawing]

Make way for the Prince! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Frankly, I was thinking a HBP would have been kind of funny. Or catcher's interference or some such. Anyway, congratulations to the heir to the throne.

We stunk vs the padres, pirates and giants during the injuries and those are worse offenses.

[DocLuna7]

Did anyone else think that Cooper looked a bit upset in the Astros dugout after Prince's RBI?

[Invader3K]

He did, but I think he was more upset about how out of hand the game was getting, than for having his personal record broken.

[hawing]

He didn't look happy, though that could be a result of the game getting further out of hand.

While it's hardly unheard of for a sports record to be broken with the prior recordholder in attendance, I suppose it's less common when the prior recordholder is associated with the other team.

[logan82]

Patterson still without a hit as a Brewer. Hopefully that puts another nail in his coffin as a Brewer. Although with 3500+ other PA while maintaining a sub .300 OBP isn't enough to convince Melvin he has no place on a team, I don't have much hope another few at bats will.
