2011-7-31 Astros (Myers) at Brewers (Narveson) - [Brewers win, 5-4]

My new tradition. Listen to New Noise while Ax is getting the save.

[razzzorsharp]

That first K was really high.

[ilovebeer]

Extra innings for Pittsburgh.

[Yeti73]

My biggest worry about the K-Rod trade is that Ax may falter leading to a controversey and Ax to lose his mentality. That has clearly not been the case.

Mill's basically said" we're 35 games below .500 and they just traded my 2 best players...I'm not walking anybody" lol

[PrinceEatMeat]

Back-to-back sweeps!!!

[ilovebeer]

pebadger, that was funny.

BREWERS SWEEP!

Nice AAA/A weekend vacation. Need to finish an 8-1 (at worse) homestand and extend the lead.

[Yeti73]

Ibanez, wow.,

[ilovebeer]

Bring on St Louis, Remember we have to be on your best behavior the next 3 days.

Fantastic.

 

That really felt like one the Crew might let slip away. Perfect homestand so far. There's only one way to make it better...

[ilovebeer]

What about Ibanez?

[Yeti73]

2 out 2 run homer to tie game in PHILLY. 2nd of the day.

Nice AAA/A weekend vacation. Need to finish an 8-1 (at worse) homestand and extend the lead.

Saying winning two games out of three at worst is pretty high standards.

 

I would have taken a 6-3 homestand at the start but of course I would now love a 8-1 though 7-2 wouldn't be a season ender.

Hunter with a double, 1 down bottom 10, Go Philles.

PITTSBURGH LOSES!

Not a big deal at all to end 7-2, but it would, by defintion, mean that they will lose ground to STL over the next 3 days. Is it asking too much for the Cubs to maybe win tonight? I don't think the Crew is really entitled to ask for anything given the way Houston just put this weekend on a plate for them, but any help further would be appreciated.

Nice win. Now let's never see that lineup ever again. Rip that lineup card up, burn it, stomp on it, and bury it at sea.

[brewmann04]

we took care of Business of the two bottom feeders,now it onto the team that we need to beat.

[nate82]

It feels weird cheering for the Cubbies (I just threw up in my mouth a little there). Hopefully the Cubs can hang on another inning and win against the Perfectly Classy Team.

The Cubs are so awful it makes it easier...but not tonight! Nice win for the northsiders...that's a 2 1/2 game lead over the Classies heading into the big series. Nice to see the Crew take care of business the last 6 games while the Cards went 4-3 against the same dregs at home. We even beat Cy McFlappyglove while they lost to him. Maybe we can return the favor by putting a fastball in Holliday's ribcage after that "classy" slide into Castro.

OK Brewers, Brewers, Keep turnin' up the heat!!!

[hawing]

The Brewers had a Sunday lineup, but the Astros now arguably sport a "Sunday roster." Don't let up, fellas. 1-0 on Monday.

[sdcheezhd]

The Baseball Gods have already started punishing Holliday: a hat trick followed by a big DP. ESPN also went out of its way to talk about how knowledgeable the St. Louis fanbase is because they cheered for Furcal before his first AB. The average fan would not know to do that! An inning later 2 members of said fanbase were on the field delaying the game.
