4/11/08 Brewers (Parra) at Mets (Figueroa): 6:10 PM CDT

This game is over. Not a good start to a series where this should be the gimme...

[Schlitz001]

I didn't realize the Brewers had the fewest walks in the league. They need to start taking some pitches, because at this rate Figueroa will be pitching into the 8th inning.

[brains and braun]

Is that supposed to be in blue???

[BrewCrewForever]

I really hope Nelson isn't the next in a long line of crappy pitchers who look like an ace against us.

[trwi7]

Well Rock says balls in the opposite batter's box are too close to take with 2 strikes!

 

Yeah I got quite a chuckle out of that as well. Parra better get that corner tonight if Figueroa does.

Former Brewer pitchers always comeback to haunt Milwaukee. Last year, Jeff Bennett came out of nowhere for Atlanta and shut down the Brewers and helped snuff out their playoff chances. Jimmy Haynes went 3-0 against Milwaukee the year after the Brewers dumped him and Cincy picked him up. It is just a curse I guess.

[BrewCrewForever]

I already hate this umps delayed strike 3 call.

[trwi7]

So why was Hart playing that deep against Raul Casanova?

[crewcrazy]

Words cannot describe how much Damion Easley annoys me. 63-year old infielders shouldn't hit that well against the Brewers.

Why do I get the feeling we will be burned by a Casanova?

[BrewCrewForever]

Man Hardy really got a hold of that one.

[brains and braun]

Where have our bats gone, Joe DiMaggio?

[brains and braun]

Looks like a beautiful night for baseball at Shea, doesn't it?

[BrewCrewForever]

Nelson Freaking Figueroa. Are you kidding me.

[B2k1121]

This is actually kind of sickening.

[endaround]

Hart was likely playing deep to keep the run on 1B from scoring on a hard hit ball given the pitcher coming up

[crewcrazy]

On the bright side, Mets fans are probably wondering why the heck they can't hit a rookie fifth starter they've never heard of, too.

More winning commentary from Bill:

 

"Reyes doesn't hit .300 because too many pop ups, too many strike outs" You know, not enough hits...

I'm assuming Bill neglected to mention that Reyes hit .300 two years ago when he carried the Mets to the NLCS?

 

[AJAY]

Rickie Weeks should try to bunt his way on. Let's make something happen now.

[zurch1818]

Parra is looking really good

[BrewCrewForever]

Parra is looking really good

It's to bad the way our offense is going it might no matter for Manny.

 

[BrewCrewForever]

Dude, guys it's Nelson freaking Figueroa.

[crewcrazy]

Anyone else hoping that it starts to pour soon and they won't be able to get in 5 innings? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

This is pathetic
