FS Wisconsin has a promo for tickets to Thursday's game and they decided a video featuring Harper hitting a homer and Braun striking out like a fool was a good idea. Makes me just sprint to my computer to buy tickets.

Kang would've been a nice sign this off season. We might've missed out on that one.

These forums are not exactly buzzing tonight, lol.

[igor67]

And the lead.

[igor67]

Nelson with a pretty good night.

I like putting in Perez for Aramis there.

[brewcrewdue80]

Figures. 1st/2nd 0outs and a strike em out throw out at 3rd.

[TGOTJ]

Here comes Broxie!

[Polish Falcons]

Interesting choice to bring in Broxton here given there is a 66 percent chance he will blow a 1 run lead.

[brewmann04]

Broxton has been much better as the 7th Inning guy.

Just turned it on...what's the word on the weather? Last I looked at it, it looked like pretty severe storms the rest of the night in the Pittsburgh area. Are they still talking of resuming this game?

[DocLuna7]

We are back on for some baseball!!

[rickh150]

Lucroy didn't go to 2nd????????

[Pugger]

Its beginning to rain again and Jeffers is wild.

 

Never mind. He got out of that inning.

[pacopete4]

Nice win for the Crew tonight. 4-3 on the road trip so far. Man I wish they wouldn't of stunk so bad to start the year. Oh well, at least it's been more enjoyable.

[brwrsfan]

Lucroy didn't go to 2nd????????

 

I thought the same thing. The ball went all the way to the backstop and Gomez was on second...he certainly was going to third.

 

And it theoretically cost us a run. Though who knows, maybe they pitch around Braun then?

[Pugger]

Nice win for the Crew tonight. 4-3 on the road trip so far. Man I wish they wouldn't of stunk so bad to start the year. Oh well, at least it's been more enjoyable.

 

Yes, they are more fun to watch these days, that's for sure.

[brewmann04]

Nice Start for Nelson needs to build off this for the rest of the year.
