2013-05-05 Cardinals (Garcia) at Brewers (Estrada), 20:10 PM Italy Time [Brewers lose, 10-1]

[AZBrewCrew]

So we have RamAIRez and Fig ARE Oh when Coshun is calling the game. Now Lucroy moves to first base. Bianchi to 2nd. Yuni to Left and Gonzalez to 3rd.

I suppose its time I go do something productive today like watch paint dry. Its gotta be better than watching this trainwreck.

 

I've decided to turn off the tv and just listen to the game on the radio in the hope that uke says a few entertaining things. What a crappy series.

Will RRR finally lose his temper after this embarrasing performance?

 

Wouldn't it be in everyone's best interest if Ax was sent down? He isn't helping the team and I'm sure the booing isn't doing him any good.

Ive only seen RRR lose his cool once in his career with Milwaukee and it was a couple weeks ago when he was arguing with the ump.

Same. I was shocked when it happened.

We'll so much for Ax being sent down....RRR just said that isn't being considered.

[Ennder]

Pretty sure if someone just yelled at these guys they could beat the Cardinals.

 

But yeah Axford should probably be sent down to work through his issues so he can see regular playing time reps.

Whoa, kudos for the 70s pop culture reference from another hemisphere!

 

So, the weather was gorgeous and I thought the Brewers' throwback uniforms were too. Unfortunately, the unis are kind of tainted by that game now, and the on-field action was trying to watch. The worst part was the STL fan across the aisle from me who had to react audibly to EVERY. SINGLE. PITCH. AND PLAY.

 

"Striiiiike."

"COME on, Matty Ballgame!" (His nickname for Holliday)

*furious clapping after EVERY pitch taken for a ball by a Cardinal* (which if you watched, you know happened a lot)

"JJJJJJONJAY!"

"SIDDOWN, Carlos!" (after a Gomez K, which ended an inning, so it didn't even make sense since he had to return to the field)

I was surprised he didn't devolve into Rob-Schneider-as-copy-guy mode (PETE! Kozma! The Kozmanator! Gettin' base hits...)

 

Dude also declared the first HBP to be "bush league." I was sorely, sorely tempted to ask him if it was also bush league to order someone to bean intentionally and insist it was unintentional until months later, once you're retired, and then finally fess up. I held off.

 

The hawing ticket packages don't include an STL game again until August 20, and even that is too soon. GET OUT OF MY FACE.
