Not sure how much of Scott Nguyen I can stand..... game better start again soon!!!

Come on, Scotty is great, man! Poker Superstars, on the other hand, might be the worst poker show on the television box.

 

It's funny - I just opened ESPN Gamecast to follow the game and it said "DELAYED," but didn't show a score. Thus, I thought the game hadn't even started. I began reading the IGT only to start seeing posts about Hardy's RBI, etc.

 

My big hope for this game, in particular, is that Vargas doesn't have his typical huge WHIP game. The Cards have a strong enough lineup where that would really, really hurt (really). Looks like, from the play-by-play, that he's been so-so, but he did get out of a jam in the 2nd, so that's good. Braun really needs to work on his throwing accuracy (and get that BA back above .350...slacker).

[MoneyballMan]

Which is only 3 minutes longer than he usually takes between pitches.

 

Good point.

[SeriesFinale]

Pile 'em on, I'd love a breather before tomorrow's marathon

[Brewcrewin07]

Now 2-1 Reds on an Encarnacion HR. Go Reds!!!

Wow, the Brewers sure got their share of bloop single luck that inning.

And it's about time. It seems during this stretch every bloop we hit would be caught and every bloop the other team hit would fall.

If Bill would never speak he'd be perfect. He's the only part of the broadcasts I don't enjoy.

No kidding. Sometimes I don't have any idea what he's talking about! But he's entrenched. Who would we get, Gumby?

[SoCalBrewfan]

Let me suggest a long rain delay in the middle of every game that Vargas starts.

[Brewcrewin07]

I say as long as the Crew stays in control of this one, let CV go until his arm falls off. Save the pen for tomorrow's DH.

Yackpot.

Anymore weather reports on this one?

[dlk9s]

All these runs, all these hits, and Braun can't touch a lefty? What in the...?

[brettac1]

I didn't realize how big of a Mike Maroth fan I was until tonight.

[PeaveyFury]

A piano would have better range in LF.

There has to be more I can add to this, but can't think of anything. So, I guess that's a perfect description!

[dlk9s]

So, when Vargas finally gets guys to swing at the first or second pitch, they get base hits. To get guys out, he has to throw eight pitches.

[SoCalBrewfan]

I dunno, I reckon Mench can go five or six octaves. His falsetto is to die for.

[SeriesFinale]

Well, that could've been worse

 

I really hope we don't sry up now and they chip away...that sure seems to have happened too often this year

[MoneyballMan]

Exactly what I was looking for, but couldn't come up with anything! Thank you! I knew there was something to add to that piano comparison!

[SeriesFinale]

Maybe Maroth can get traded to the Cubs

[dlk9s]

What sucks is that you know that after this offensive explosion, we'll get as many hits in the remaining three games as we have tonight. That's just how it works, right?

[RightFieldCoder]

Maybe we can burn through the bullpen tonight and really catch them the next three games.
