2011-08-05 Brewers (Gallardo) at Astros (Happ) - [Brewers win, 8-1; Counsell gets a hit]

[pebadger]

The Reds are going to be 8.5 out after tonight, 4 games under .500 and they are tied for the 7th best run-differential in baseball. Meanwhile, the entire AL Central continues to be on the negative side of the run-differential calculus.

Holy crap Kotsay can you be any slower?

[Mr QL]

Gotta hustle that out Kotsay

Wow Kotsay. I thought that was an automatic hit without a throw. Pathetic.

I'm happy for Counsell. While I am probably on the "it's time to get rid of him side" he has always been a favorite of mine. The reaction from the bench was great.

This...I would love for cc to retire and Green to step in. That being said I think cc has done a heck of a good job for Milwaukee

Uecker: "Tim Dillard will finish this one for the Crew." Cockeyed optimist. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Dillard really serves no purpose on this roster. This is really the only situation he will ever pitch in. I'd rather just have another bat on the bench. Either that or pick up a LOGGY somehow.

Great win. Rapidly turning into a 2 team race.

 

Off topic.

 

Colon walked a guy tonight againt Boston.

 

It was the first walk by a Yankee pitcher in 46 2/3 innings..........

 

thats just crazy.

That crowd in Houston tonight was the quietest crowd i have ever heard, This Houston teams reminds me of the 2002 Brewers, maybe even worse.

I am so happy to see Casey playing better, We need him to play well down the stretch.

[ilovebeer]

I also love the reaction of Craig when he looked into the dugout, he was smiling the whole time at first.

I'm not sure Prince would get as excited if we went to the Series as he was seeing Counsell get that hit...although I'd like to find out.
