Come on Manny, Chris picked it up yesterday and showed he need to stay in the rotation. Need you to do the same today.

[sheethead]

Bud Norris is terrible. Remember that Brewer hitters.

[hawing]

When I see the name Bud Norris, I always think of the Cosby Show and Rudy calling that neighbor kid Kenny "Buuud":

Come on, Brewers. Go 1-0 for the night vs. Buuud.

[dlk9s]

My name is Kenny!

[hawing]

You know, my brother and his wife were avid fans of South Park before they became parents. This made me astounded that they named their (now 10 year old) son Kenneth. He goes by his middle name, but still...you named him Kenny?!?

 

But I digress. Sorry, dlk9s and any other Brewer-supporting Kens or Kennys reading this thread. Go Brewers.

[viaarete]

Is Counsell getting the start as part of his normal assignment in games, or has there been word on Escobar's ankle after the collision with Gomez last night?

I'm going to be pretty angry if this doesn't have to do with Escobar's ankle.

 

[thablingster]

Probably a little of both, viaarete. Esco has played 3 straight games, and Macha's trend has been to play him 4 out of 5 games.

[dlk9s]

But I digress. Sorry, dlk9s and any other Brewer-supporting Kens or Kennys reading this thread. Go Brewers.

My name isn't Kenny. I was just quoting "Bud."

[trwi7]

"A while ago the Brewers were thinking about who they might trade. Now they're thinking about who they could acquire."

 

-Brian

 

Yeesh. We're still 7 games under and 7.5 out of the playoffs. They should still be thinking about who they trade and not who they could acquire.

[ELCABALLO45]

Lets do this Parra. Slowly getting excited abou this team again. Keep sucking me back in parra.

[viaarete]

To be fair to Brain, his job isn't to provide intelligent analysis of the Brewers options going forward, but to keep fans interested... He kinda has to pretend like we're playing for this season still.

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice job by Edmonds right there. Braun is so bad in left.

[trwi7]

Nice job by Edmonds right there. Braun is so bad in left.

 

The camera man is pretty awful too.

[sauveb]

Strike 3 to Weeks seemed to be farther outside than ball 4 was to Lee.

[Trombone482]

Nice job by Edmonds right there. Braun is so bad in left.

no, Soriano is bad left. Braun is just about average. He will make the occasional great play but I would not say he was bad. Just my opinion though

Every rating system I have seen has Braun well below average in left. He is terrible out there.

 

And come on Parra its the pitcher, no need to go 3-2 against him.

 

[TheCrew07]

Braun isn't even close to average. He's timid, gets poor jumps, and makes poor judgments in a variety of ways in the field.

[dlk9s]

I like how the Houston batters were looking for walks in the 2nd inning. Nope, sorry, you're striking out.

[ELCABALLO45]

Man Hart and Rickie are hot right now!

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm pretty sure Hart has locked up his spot on the all-star team now. 18 HR 60 RBI. 1st and 2nd in the league in those categories respectively.

[viaarete]

Man, when we're playing like this, it's hard not to lose all sense of reality... Maybe Brewers will be buyers after the all-star break :p

[BrewCrewForever]

I'm pretty sure Hart has locked up his spot on the all-star team now. 18 HR 60 RBI. 1st and 2nd in the league in those categories respectively.

Yeah, Hart seems a lock to get picked as a backup and Braun as a starter. Question is, will Yovani get the nod? Could happen. I like how the Brewers now get 2 or 3 guys every year. I remember all the years in the mid 90's to early 2000's when we only had our one guy get in. It's a nice change.

[brucrustu]

that looked well struck.
