5/11/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Mets (Sosa): 6:10 PM CDT

You can probably put this one in the books. The offense has not looked good enough lately to recover from 3-0 midway through the game.

[Brewers77]

If things we that easy AJAY.

[owbc]

Brewers hitters look like they are pressing. Suppan is getting shelled.

 

I was afraid of this--all the attention getting to them.

 

Better now than October to start getting used to it.

 

This game isn't over yet, but it is if we keep trying to pull the ball.

[adamb100]

Get soup out.

[adambr2]

Dumb idea, Geoff, you never had a chance to get him.

 

This team looks like they're feeling the pressure of the national attention. Everyone is out there trying to be a hero and pressing. They just don't look good.

[tomwopat]

They might as well be putting the ball on a tee right now.

[MillerParkSouth]

bad news: we're getting shelled

good news: it's only one game

[bernieh]

Easy fellas... let's not panic.

 

We're twenty-four and ten.

 

Keep Soup in. The Mets are a good-hitting team, it's not like he "doesn't have it."

[adambr2]

This umpire is putrid. That 1st strike to Estrada was a good 6 inches off the plate.

[monkeyman343434]

ok, i'm sorry, but this ump behind the plate is horrible, i'm usually not one to say anything about the umpiring, but it's been so inconsistent it's not even funny.... how in the world the first called strike to estrada was actually a strike, i haven't a clue.... he's been sometimes giving the outside corner, then taking it away, sometimes high in the zone, next pitch looks even better and it's a ball... horrible

[adamb100]

JENKS!

[tyguy]

Well done Geoff.

[adambr2]

Yeah, to be impartial, Mench definitely should have been rung up on that 0-2 pitch. Yet the umpire seems to have no pattern whatsoever with the corners. Sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not. There's no way of knowing.

[monkeyman343434]

i don't think he's thrown a true strike to rickie this AB, that first pitch was outside, then the second called strike had been called high basically the whole game, until that pitch

[DannoMac21]

My God Prince

[monkeyman343434]

WOW .,... smoked.... unreal

[Time for a Miller]

Prince destroyed that pitch.

[Shootkick1000]

Covet away, Mets fans. Prince is OUR mamma-jamma.

[steve267268]

We need this game. So we need to start getting on base and putting a little pressure on Sosa. Great to see Prince and Geoff continue mashing but solo homeruns aren't going to win us the game.

[adambr2]

I think it's time to get Hall out of the 4 hole for now. He's just useless there right now.

[Team Canada]

Let's not freak out too early, folks, it's still a ballgame!

[owbc]

Another 4-0 comeback (aka Cubs)???

Not freaking out, I just think we need to get Hall out of the cleanup until he finds his power stroke again, or at least finds some ability to get some extra basehits again....

[LUKE232323]

Burrell with 2nd HR of the game. 5-2 Phillies over Cubs.

[steve267268]

Estrada, Jenkins, Mench

 

Sounds like a winner, boys. Let's inch a bit closer here. I wanna see us score a run on just one hit here. Single, Wild Pitch, Steal Third, Balk.

 

Already been used up?

 

Okay, then let's just go back to back to back.
