2010-04-22 Brewers (Wolf) at Pirates (McCutchen), 11:35 CDT [Brewers win, 20-0]

[Dragonbait]

It pains me so to be stuck at work on a beautiful day with the Brewers on....

[GormanHarvey]

Watched the Fielder HR highlight, and it seems that Brian will never grasp when a ball is crushed vs. when its a routine fly. He's seen more games than I have, and he just doesn't get it.

You're talking about a guy that still refers to the 3rd guy due up in an inning being "in the hold" and calls bases cushions and outfield walls barriers.

Gomez had better not be bunting here.

[Schlitz001]

Anyone know what's going to with Weeks' wrist? Is he just wearing that guard as a preventative measure or is there something wrong?

[Dragonbait]

He's always had a wrist guard the last two years anyways once he gets on base...

 

Gomez 5-5 for stolen base attemps

Just for protection. No need to take any chances with those things

 

[logan82]

He always put that on once he gets on base.

[jjkoestler]

Gomez is fast! Love the speed on this club.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Man oh man... if Gomez can find a way to get on base consistently, our lineup has a tantalizing combo of speed and pop.

Agreed. SO dynamic

 

 

[Dragonbait]

Mr. Brauny!!! Nice.

[brains and braun]

Braunie with number two on the day!

[And That]

Seems like McCutchen (the pitcher) lacks an out pitch. Not that it's easy to put Braun away.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Ryan Braun is really good at baseball.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Braun with the Earl Weaver! Pour it on!

[jjkoestler]

Braun is white hot. Big HR.

[trwi7]

Ryan Braun is awesome. The camera work on FSN is being run by a high schooler who isn't paying attention because he's watching a girl he likes and when he hears the crack of the bat he's scrambling to find where the ball is.

[sheethead]

Can we bring the Pirates back to Miller Park for this weekend's series?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Thank goodness for the Pittsburgh SlumpBusters

The mystery is what does TBS see in him? He appears to not even like baseball.

[GormanHarvey]

I could not agree with you more sheethead. I ask myself the same things all the time...I wish he would go back to golf

[Buckylovesbeer]

Braun is a stud, no doubt.

 

I have been surprised with Edmonds, he has done very well. And it pains me.....because I hate all things Cardinals and Cubs. But he is a nice insurance policy for Corey Hart, and he has gotten on base so far.

 

I love the comments on the "Pirate slump busters!"

[jjkoestler]

Wow. What a throw from Gomez to 2B.

[TabbertBB]

It is just amazing to see the stadium so empty. And quiet.

Too many Baseball teams?

No. Pirates have just been poorly run for far too long. If they put even a competitive team on the field, people would come back there just like in Milwauke, IMO.
