8/10/07 - Brewers (Bush) at Astros (Jennings) - 7:05pm CT

[The Ignitor]

Using the slo-mo on the tivo, Corey's foot was on the bag when the ball was still 1.5 feet away from Berkman's glove.

I suppose it would be in poor taste to suggest that someone spit in his face.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/indifferent.gif

Maybe, but I laughed out loud when I read it.

If Hirshbeck blows one more call at first tonight, Ned needs to get himself tossed. This guy is an absolute joke. Two completely obvious blown calls, both against us. Completely inexcusable for a supposed professional.

All kidding aside, you're absolutely right. Both of those calls were pretty easy ones.

Someone should tell Ned that he is allowed to argue especially when the ump TOTALLY BLOWS 2 CALLS. Where's Graffy to beat Ned down when he needs it.

With how this team has been playing, there's no guarantee that the ump would let Ned get himself tossed.

Trivia answer:

 

Davey Lopes, Jerry Royster, Ned Yost....why the heck can't I think of the other one?

[MoneyballMan]

Braun and Fielder are both going yard tonight. I feel it.

What was the question?

 

[MoneyballMan]

If it was "former players as managers", then Del Crandall.

Well, that's one. And that was REALLY deep.

 

[Bruce Ciskie]

Someone check that baseball to see if there's anything left of it. http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eek.gif

[uecker9]

wow -Brewers 92 solo shots. Cubs-90 total HRs.

[phatmatt1215]

PRINCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BrewCityUnit]

Off by one at bat. That a boy Prince.

 

How is everyone feeling around here now??? Boys, I feel some good baseball in our future.

[MoneyballMan]

Yeah, that short, two-strike swing.....450 ft HR!

[RU Rah Rah]

Just listening, but Powell just about fell out of the booth calling it. Must have been ginormous.

[MoneyballMan]

I was in Houston for the first two Cubs games this week and where he hit that ball is WAY up there.

[MoneyballMan]

446 officially - I think Bill is right - 460 at least.

[The Ignitor]

10th longest homer in Minute Maid Park. And the houston cameraman have no idea how to film a homer in this game, as they missed both homers by a mile.

[BrewCityUnit]

2 runs on 2 hits.....Brewer baseball!

[MoneyballMan]

Oh man. Hart would have killed Weeks right there!

[MoneyballMan]

Nice pitch there.

[uecker9]

2 runs on 2 hits.....Brewer baseball!

Now load the bases 3 times, score 0, and have another solo shot .

They did say on TV that Yost went out to talk to the ump after the blon Hart call but Bill did term it a friendly conversation or something to that effect.
