2011-07-28 Cubs (Wells) at Brewers (Marcum) - [Brewers win, 4-2]

"Braun is known for his pull power." Yeah, we've NEVER seen him shoot one up in those seats....

[YoGasKpose]

I'm so glad we get to watch Braun for the next 10 years. Man, is he an animal.

[topper09er]

As of RIGHT NOW, Braun is tied with Berkman for the OPS lead in the NL at .993

[azcheesehead]

67 MPH Curve to Soriano......hahaha

[owbc]

The Cubs announcers really have nothing nice to say about Milwaukee at all.

[TheCrew07]

How many good things do we say about Chicago?

[razzzorsharp]

Lake Geneva Guy=Pissed.

[topper09er]

Another horrible bunt attempt from the Carlos Gomez school of running to first while trying to get the bunt down.

Looks like the Brewers just reacquired Felipe Lopez. Now if they can get Furcal, we can dump Counsell and send Farris back to where he belongs.

Nice! He's at least a legitimate MLB hitter, and versatile. Completely forgot about him after the Rays sent him down earlier this year.

He is better than counsel and wilson and just cost us cash. I like that. Now get furcal and that is improvement without losing much at all in terms of prospects. Neither Lopez or Furcal are having good years but they just have to be better than Yuni, Wilson, and Counsel

[Rhett16]

My favorite part of this game so far is seeing that Marcum has a better BA and SLG than Counsell. If Counell weren't a local boy, he would have been sent packing about 6 weeks ago. I like him as a person, he is useless as a baseball player.

[topper09er]

No idea how that 0-1 curveball missed. Lucroy held it there for a while out of shock

[PrinceEatMeat]

Nice pickup with Lopez. It worked once, maybe it'll work again. Now just add Furcal and that will help tremendously.

[razzzorsharp]

Good last two innings pitchcount wise.

[markedman5]

So they acquire Lopez and then send him to triple A?

Someone should update the guys on WGN.

[topper09er]

Furcal 6, Morgan 8, Braun 7, Fielder 3, Hart 9, McGehee 5, Lopez 4, Kottarras 2, Wolf 1 tomorrow?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Why would they send him to AAA? He should be everyday 2B right now.

[YoGasKpose]

Why would they send him to AAA? He should be everyday 2B right now.

Perhaps more is coming? And DM is stockpiling infielders?

I'm confused too. I guess we'll see.

[TheCrew07]

Why would they send him to AAA? He should be everyday 2B right now.

Well the obvious answer is that he stinks and people just fondly remember his half a season here that was largely meaningless in the grand scheme given the state of the pitching staff.

[markedman5]

Kid wasn't calling Time out brenly....he was giving the Tony Plush sign......get with it man!

[markedman5]

Did I mention that Braun was a stud?
