Wolf sure doesn't like working with Lucroy eh?

[hawing]

Either those early efforts with Lucroy soured Randy on the whole idea, or it just became a handy way to get Kottaras semi-regular playing time.

I see they've returned to the stars & stripes caps again. I thought maybe there would be another 9:11 moment of silence, but the game of course could be over by 9:11 PM CDT.

Sure, *now* they can turn a double play successfully. I guess better late than never.

Looks like Wolf is drinking a Smirnoff Ice

Don't know. The caption said he was in the parking lot outside a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Edit: Hah, no perfecto for you, Ryan Dempster! Uecker reports a full house tonight, including lots of cubs fans - so between that and Mr. Glove Flip I'm glad this is the game we're not attending from this series.

Go offense!

Count me as shocked that there are 41,000+ there tonight. I expect it to be considerably less tomorrow with the Bears playing at noon and the Packers at 3. Would not be shocked at all with less than 30,000.

Gotta love three first pitch outs by Kottaras tonight.

[RightFieldCoder]

I hate that the Brewers just don't seem to care when they face the Cubs. Then I have to sit here and get harassed by their fans.

Well, the announced attendance Friday night was just under 31,000, and in no way did everyone with a ticket show up - so you may well prove to be right.

Judging by the roar when Nady hit his home run, it sounds like about 30,000 of those are Cubs fans.

 

I realize it's important for the club's finances to fill the park and Cub fan money is as good as Brewer fan money, but I'd almost rather see a bare-bones crowd of Brewer fans than have it turn into a defacto Cubs home game.

[Gobias Industries]

Jesus Christ. That was one of the worst 1-2 pitches I've seen all year and Weeks misses it by mile. I've been hoping we can sell high in the offseason, but at this rate Melvin might not even really have a chance.

Amen to that.

I suppose they couldn't be troubled to show some life in the 9th. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Yay offense!

[Invader3K]

A fantastic start by Randy Wolf was ruined by the offense not showing up. Pretty disappointing.
