Kid's defense looks like it might be improving, no?

Is it just me, or does it seem like Rickie routinely makes the amazing play and blow the routine ones?

WILDCARD UPDATE The astro's and Rodger are losing 1-0 to the Pads top 2 and the mets are up 4-0 on the dbacks top 4

Jim just said only a few thousand tickets are left for saturday's game.

Hasn't been blowing the routing ones *as much* lately. The fact that he CAN make the amazing plays gives me hope. You can teach a guy how to field. You can't teach the kind of athleticism he already possesses.

Too bad Saturday isn't a bobble head night though. I would be awesome to see a packed house for a regular sat. night day, but I guess I can't complain.

Looks like Messenger's just about lost it. Let's score some more http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[JoeH33]

Alright JJ, is a grand slam too much to ask?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ja002h]

2-out hit for JJ! Alright kid!

[markwitx]

JJ 2 RUN HARD LINEDRIVE SINGLE 9-2

[DuWayne Steurer]

That J.J. kid can't hit at all.

Well, you do get a Uecker nesting doll, right?

[JoeH33]

Meh, no grand slam but I guess that will do...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Sat isn't bobble head, but it is Bob Uecker nesting doll night.

[endaround]

McKeon allows Messenger to face Hardy but not Capuano who is likely to bunt. Just help raise his ERA there.

[jloos19]

is it just me, or is this one of the cleanier, well-played games, by the crew all year?

[RyDogg66]

Why is Cappy batting? We are up 9-1 and he has thrown 93 pitches. Let Lehr come in and finish it off, it isnt like Cappy is tossing a shut out.

Thats right, my bad.

[markwitx]

What is a nesting doll?

[moofnelson]

Wow, they're bringing in a lefthander to face Capuano. Now that's respect!

[wisportswriter]

Why take him out when he's doing so well and there's a big lead?

Ricky is prefect on the night 30rbi for Ricky. The brewers have broken this game wide wide open!
