2010-09-07 Cardinals (Lohse) at Brewers (Narveson), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2; Hoffman gets save #600]

[hawing]

And of course the Brewers show it's all about the $ as they have the commemorative t-shirts ready to go (and probably for sale in the store as you read this). Gotta believe those have been sitting in boxes since April.

I'm not sure what value there is to raining on tonight's parade. Congratulations to Trevor for sticking with it and being a standup guy. Seeing his family join him on the field was heartwarming.

[And That]

I think it would be pretty cool to say you bought one of those shirts the night Trevor got #600. But that's just me.

 

Congrats, Trevor!

Congrats Trevor! Super moment to watch. His teammates truly respect him.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Awesome moment. Way to stick with it Trevor. Carried off the field by the two team leaders too...just a great, great moment for Trevor, the Brewers and baseball.

[BrewCrewForever]

Pretty awesome. He struggled to get to 600, but he worked himself back and got there. Congrats Trevor.

[hawing]

I know we sold our tickets to this game because it's the first week of classes and I knew even six months ago I would be crazy busy at work...but I can't believe we sold our tickets to this game. If I find out the people we sold to left early, I will kick them both in the shins. Both shins! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

 

Edit: For a silver lining, imagine if this had been a WMLW broadcast. Phew!

[Bombers]

Congrats Hoffman!!! Glad I watched. That is an awesome moment in the baseball timeline.

[Schlitz001]

Good work Hoff. For all the people calling for his head in April, he was a class act and sat on the bench and pitched his way back into this role. He is a Hall of Famer for sure and I'm glad he was able to record a small fraction of the 600 with the team I root for.

[AdvantageSchneider]

I understand why the Brewers are letting Houfman chase a round-number but I just don't get it. 599 is JUST as impressive as 600.

Tell that to Bert Blyleven. Isn't 287 just as impressive as 300?

I went tonight. Almost didn't due to being in a US Cellular store in Burlington at 6:50. Besides the good fun game to watch, the suspense of will he or won't he get the 9th was great. I wouldn't compare it to 3000 for robin as dan o'donnell on am 620 did, but it was great and I had goosebumps.

 

Seeing the guys in the 'pen banging on the top of the wall and jumping up and down with every strike/out tells you how much it meant to them, Trevor, and the team.

 

Still and all 600 was great, and I'm really happy I was there to see it.

I was also there tonight and it was one of the better sporting moments I have witnessed in person. Braddock was in a full out sprint out of the bullpen along with the rest of the guys. Balkin Bob did sour it for me. MLB needs to do something about this guy, the way he treated that usher was just terrible. The best part about him kicking the fan out was he didn't have the guts to walk on the same side of the guy, instead he walks to the complete opposite side to point him out to an usher. We could hear him say "guy in the white shirt he's out", and the usher having no idea which one of the 85 guys in the white shirt asks him again who. So Davidson starts to yell at him to get the cops. The poor usher had no idea who he was talking about, and Davidson shows up the usher. And for the umpire to do it in the middle of the inning shows that he truly thinks he is bigger than the game.

Yeah, it doesn't come anywhere close to comparing to Robin's 3,000th hit, but it was a very cool moment for Trevor. He's a class act all the way, and I'm glad he's been a part of the Brewers for the past two seasons.

[jjgott]

Apparently the fan was heckling Yadier Molina, not the umpire. I guess it was too much for the classiest catcher in MLB.

Great moment had to dvr the game glad i did ,loved the way the bullpen guys came out and Naverson looked like a kid he was so happy.

This was a very nice moment for a classy guy during a terrible season and kudos to Prince and braunie for their part. It be to bad not seeing Prince back next year though.

Wow, that is pretty bad if he got tossed for heckling the opposing catcher, especially if he wasn't swearing up a storm or anything. Just further proof Molina and the Cards players are bunch of whiny you know whats, proving Brandon Phillips right.

[TooLiveBrew]

I'm pretty sure you could hear that fan all game long, and he frankly was obnoxious even over the TV broadcast (and I swear I've heard him at other games). I really wasn't disappointed to see him ejected, but it does seem a bit much.

Well to paraphrase Nigel Tufnel.. 600, it's one louder, isn't it?
