Love the match up between CC and JJ--too bad CC won the battle.

Huge AB here for Thome in the 7th

[PrinceFielderx1]

The twins need to focus on getting on base and the opportunities will come..

[owbc]

Did the Yankees purposely lose the AL East so they could beat the Twins again?

[davemakovec]

There was an article on si.com speculating that they did it to avoid facing Cliff Lee again. Added bonus of facing the Twins.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Now they just need a hit.

[trwi7]

One day in and there's already a blown call. Not that I care because it happened against the Yankees and I hate them, but still.

[ELCABALLO45]

Oh and now Anderson has seen 2 no hitters. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Moving on to Thursday's action...the Rays' bats need CPR or something. Also, look, Brewers castoff Matt Treanor is in the playoffs.

That was right before play in the bottom of the 9th started. Okay, I know the Rays are down 6-0 and it's incredibly unlikely they come back, but seriously. Leaving? They were booing them in the 6th inning too.

[crewcrazy]

Boy, Tampa's bats have been dormant through the first two games of that series. If they're going to win that series, they'll have to make history -- apparently a #1 seed has never come back from an 0-2 deficit in the LDS.

 

Edit: Probably worth noting that the fans that did stay all the way through are class acts. Apparently they spent the top of the 9th giving Carl Crawford nothing but cheers out in the outfield, knowing it's probably the last time they seem him. Good to hear.

[DHarris34Phan]

Mike Maddox is amazing. Wish we could have kept him.

[DHarris34Phan]

Also, I would leave too if I was a Tampa fan. The nostalgia of getting blown out in an ALDS game at Tropicana Field really wouldn't keep me around.

[trwi7]

I hate umpires. Miss a called third strike, next pitch is sent to the gap and gives the Stankees the lead. Hunter Wendelstedt, you truly are a piece of crap. Now eject the manager because you can't see. Real nice.

[trwi7]

And Andy Pettitte gets a worse pitch called strike 3. Fire all of these clowns. I am so tired of seeing this idiots ruin baseball every year.

[thunderbat30]

Wendelstedt has always been a jerk and full of himself. I'd be quite angry if I was a Twins fans. Are playoff umpires supposed to be the best?

[hawing]

The balls/strikes calling tonight has to be a stern test of Minnesota Nice.

Edit: Anti-kudos to TBS for the commercial they just showed talking up the Reds. Psst! They were just no-hit!

[owbc]

Ron Gardenhire is now 6-20 as a manager in the postseason. That has to be one of the worst records of all time.

[PrinceFielderx1]

Minnesota is missing Morneau and it shows.

[Boisebrewer]

Boy, after the first two TB games they only score one run? Looks like they could use a big bat next year. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm listening to Jim Powell's call of ATL/SF on Gameday Audio and maybe it's the difference between my computer audio and my radio, but Jim's voice sounds a little deeper than it did when he was with the Brewers.

[ELCABALLO45]

Minnesota is missing Morneau and it shows.

Not really. They won a lot of games without him this year.

[brewerjamie15]

dang. Lincecum is lights the heck out.

[brewerjamie15]

12 K's for Timmy. Wow.

[Polish Falcons]

I know that no hitters are spectacular but Lincecum looks just as brilliant as Halladay did yesterday if not better, if that's even possible, I guess it's not. 8 IP, 12K, 2H, 0ER. Hope he can end it like this with the complete game. This is one of the few players I want to root for in the playoffs. I would love to see Lincecum carry the Giants.
