Cards Talk

[Mass Haas]

Thank you, Cubbies!

 

Oh wait, guess not -- no team looks as dead and whipped as that Cub team right now. Currently 12-0 Reds with a nine-run 7th, and the Reds announcers are commenting that they were handed this four-game trip to Wrigley at the perfect time.

 

At least the Crew and Cincinnati still meet 14 times yet, I believe.

[pretendastronaut]

Amazingly it took until the 9th batter of the inning before the Reds actually got a hit in that 7th inning.

 

Edit:

 

The Reds 7th Inning;

 

BB, BB, E-4, K, BB, BB, P-6, PB, IBB, 1B, 2B, BB, 2B, F-9

 

3 hits, 9 runs. Brutal.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

It would be more fun to watch the Cubs implode if the Crew was actually doing something this year. But hey, at least we're almost mediocre...take that Cubs fans!!!

[thablingster]

Lets go Narvdog! Make it happen. Victory is yours for the taking.

[Baldkin]

I wonder if Jamie Garcia is related to "super chef" Jerry Garcia.

[crewcrazy]

Lineups are posted. Rasmus-Pujols-Holliday is an incredibly scary 2-3-4 to me.

 

Wolf surprised me last night, so here's to hoping Narveson pitches well and further complicates the rotation zim-zam. I'm still not confident that Macha will make a good decision, but at least a difficult decision means everyone's playing well.

[razzzorsharp]

I think this will be one of those games that takes me till the 4th inning to find it on the TV.

[pebadger]

I understand the idea that at least a few Brewers games should be available over-the-air, but at some point there needs to be a provision written into the contract that the OTA provider simply simulcasts a standard def version of a higher-quality FSN broadcast which would continue to be he primary vehicle by which most fans would watch. Or, ideally, broadcasts in HD. Watching WMLW via DirecTV isn't the equivalent of poking my eyes out with wooden skewers, but it's awfully close.

 

Heads up, Brewers, but WMLW isn't doing you a favor. You're doing them a favor, and at no small inconvenice to the vast majority of your viewers.

[hawing]

Well...I didn't think Parra vs. Garcia on ESPN had any hope last month, and was proven wrong. Come on, Narvdog and co.

[pebadger]

Excellent! If his last start is any indication, Narveson has them right where he wants them.

[jjkoestler]

Way to hustle, Albert.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Two seeing eye singles and a bad play by the D...that kind of a year. Hang in there Narvdog!

[pebadger]

I was, of course, referring to the Minnesota start, not the Seattle start which somehow slipped my mind. I guess the Mariners are just forgettable.

[jjkoestler]

Ugly inning. Tough luck.

[ilovebeer]

Not a shock, Chris is always bad in the first inning. I still think we will come back.

[ilovebeer]

That was not a strike to Casey.

[thablingster]

That is quite the gritty stache Brendan Ryan has.

[ilovebeer]

That was a much better inning for Narvi.

[Gobias Industries]

Garcia throws a meatball down the middle almost every first pitch.

[Oldcity]

Brendan Ryan looks like Freddie Mercury. BA talking about how "the Cardinals think he'll hit." He's 28 years old and hasn't hit yet...

[ilovebeer]

Great at bat by Chris.

[ilovebeer]

I hate first pitch outs.

[endaround]

How did the Brewers not score? They had 2 productive outs!

[ilovebeer]

The home plate umpire strike zone is all over the place.
