Brian Tallet's picture on gameday came from 1972.

craig counsell's jedi mind tricks work a walk. let's cash in!

[dlk9s]

From the looks of Gameday, that walk was totally the pitcher's fault.

please score here, Brewers.

It'd be great to have a competent right hand bat on the bench ...

[owbc]

Nice to see that the Cardinals' bullpen is worse than ours :-)

Nooo...Dish Network is out in Madison.

 

Why I'll never switch from cable to satellite TV.

 

 

My DirecTV signal never flickered here in Madison. Keeping it aimed properly is key with 95 signal strength in clear weather. I had way more outages when I had 3 years of Charter than I've had in 10 years of DirecTV.

That situation right there screamed for a bunt by Weeks. It has always bothered me that certain people seem to be immune from bunting in situations where it is obviously called for. Braun and Fielder I can understand. Weeks not so much.

3-2 plillies.

Does Morgan struggle against lefties so bad that RR has to pinch hit for him?

[logan82]

Wilson? Ok, I guess. I don't think he is any better than Gomez and you are going to have to use Gomez anyway in CF now.

[ilovebeer]

why did they take Morgan out?

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Twins have hung an 8-spot on the Giants. Bumgarner didn't make it out of the first inning. Looks like they are moving towards white-hot......just in time to face the Brewers.

My apologies JWil!

[markedman5]

Way to go braunie!

Pinch hitting is probably the right move. Maybe not with Wilson or Gomez though.

[ilovebeer]

Ryan comes through nice 2 run single.

[stalton]

woo insurance runs!!

 

Edit: even more insurance runs way to go Ryan and Prince

[BrewerTerp]

braun looks like he's still sick. tough competitor. way to go ryan!

I would have bunted there too but since the start of last season:

 

Braun 40 HR

Weeks 43 HR

 

 

[razzzorsharp]

Noodle arm.

[topper09er]

Im very happy to see the ultra-aggressive running with Damon in LF

[BrewerTerp]

ahhh this is nice for once!

Sad when Gallardo was the best option.

Thanks Prince for the rbi single.
