Man seeing Brady Clark in this game has reminded me why we got rid of him. Sorry Brady, you are a battler but sometimes you gotta have some talent too. That being said, watching this is a blast. You can almost feel the nervous excitement of the Rockies fans. I remember that feeling, it seems like yesterday.

I remember that feeling, it seems like yesterday.

With most of our relievers it was more nervousness than nervous excitement....

[DHarris34Phan]

Wow there you go Joe Thatcher...

[And That]

Joe Thatcher is pretty good.

 

*acerbic eye roll*

[owbc]

I wish the Brewers could develop quality relievers like Joe Thatcher instead of trading for washed up veterans.

[jlau20]

This is a pretty good game. Glad I'm watching it. Brady had a rough go of it out there tonight, those aren't easy plays but I'm sure it would have been nice to come up with one of them.

 

I was in favor of the Linebrink trade at the time, not so much anymore.

[Loopee]

Joe Thatcher is a true ace.

Here comes Jorge Julio- tailor made playoff scapegoat.

 

EDIT: and he promptly gives up the go ahead homer. Stay classy Jorge Julio!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Any chance we could trade for Joe Thatcher? He looks good.

[jlau20]

Hip Hip, Jorge!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I guess we're not the only fans to boo our relievers...tough crowd.

[trwi7]

This is an incredible game. Hoffman giving up gap shots to Matsui and Tulowitzki and Holliday ties it with an RBI triple. 1st and 3rd no one out. Come on Rox! Do they even have relivers left?

[trwi7]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROCKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chowyo123]

And hoffman blows it. Wow. What an ending.

[owbc]

I can't believe it.

 

It's Lidge-Pujols all over again. Another great closer chokes in one of the biggest moments of his career. Just shows how difficult the job is.

[gypcasino]

Well, that was an instant classic to say the least.

[wisconsinfan47]

From 8-6 to 9-8. I feel really bad for Trevor Hoffman.

 

In fact, our pain is nothing compared to the Mets and Padres right now. I know I shouldn't feel for them, but I do.

[AJAY]

WOW.

 

Simply incredible.

 

And just think . . . Tony Gwynn Jr. killed their season too.

[thablingster]

What a lollypop throw from Giles. Yikes.

 

Congrats Colorado, you earned that.

[Blazer25]

There goes the MVP for Prince and possibly the ROY for Braun. Say hello to Matt Holliday MVP and Tulo for ROY.

 

Stupid umpires...Holliday never got to the plate.

[Ennder]

Sad thing is he was out by a mile, the season ends on a terrible call with the good guys going to the playoffs.

[And That]

The Padres may have just collapsed more epically than the Brewers. Three outs away and Hoffmann on the mound. And then getting beat by Jamey Carroll of all people.

[gypcasino]

Phil Cuzzi is that you behind the plate?

[chowyo123]

Great block by Barrett at home.
