2011-09-26 Pirates (Morton) at Brewers (Marcum) - [Brewers lose, 9-8, still 1 up on D-Backs]

[bucksman4]

Nice throw to start the inning by the Dodgers SS. Man was that horrible.

[topper09er]

1 out, bottom of 9th in AZ, down 2

 

The guy reached on an error, gameday that was just evil you said in play outs

[Oldcity]

Come on these aren't good hitters coming up for Arizona.

 

And yeah, Sutton is noise pollution.

[thablingster]

If that was RR's effort to boost Casey's ego, he failed miserably. No excuse to use McGehee over Kottaras against a nasty RHP. None.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Guerra has been fairly solid...have faith.

 

If you don't like Sutton...Vin Scully is still one of the best for the Dodgers.

 

With that a Yuni-esque error on a routine play by Gordon...uggh.

[Oldcity]

Error. What a horrendous night of baseball this could be.

[moofnelson]

I think you could take the 8 non-pitchers in the Dbacks order, put their names in a hat, and draw the lineup that way, and nobody would know the difference.

[topper09er]

MLB network is showing the top of the 8th TEX vs ANA, who runs that network, we have a bottom of the 9th game

[nbajam]

I'm more annoyed with Daron Sutton than anybody on the Brewers right now. My God, he is insufferable.

Had to switch to the Dodgers feed.

[Oldcity]

Ok, 1 down...

[bucksman4]

This Dodgers SS must have money on the Diamondbacks today. He just blew an easy double play.

[zookerman182]

geez these dbacks announces couldnt be worse

[pebadger]

Marcum gives up 7 runs in in 4 2/3 and everyone is complaining about everything else.

[moofnelson]

the dodgers shortstop is worse than Bettancourt. didn't think that was possible.

[Oldcity]

Roberts has some power. Kind of scary here.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

My goodness Gordon...you are making me want to offer Yuni a lifetime extension.

[zookerman182]

thanks for the bunt dbacks, cmon dodgers finish this off

[topper09er]

Horrible bunt attempt from Roberts, right back to the pitcher, that was a gift out

[Oldcity]

Sac bunt??? What???

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

A bunt? It's not just RRR...thank you Kirk.

[Schlitz001]

This was Roenicke's worst game of the season managing that I've seen. Where is the urgency to win? He started the game like it didn't matter and then somewhere toward the end decided that maybe it did kind of matter.

 

You can't do these things if you want to win an important September game:

1.Rest Braun

2. Start Kotsay batting 3rd

2.Pull Weeks

3. Pitch De La Cruz

4. Pinch hit McGehee

[zookerman182]

BALL GAME!!!

 

thank god we stay the way we started

[Oldcity]

Thank goodness. Frustrating that they could have this thing all but locked up, but at least they're still in the driver's seat.

[topper09er]

Yes!!

 

At the end of the day,

 

Magic number home field = 2,

 

Braun .334

Reyes .334

Kemp .324

[bucksman4]

Doesn't the magic number go to 2?
