That Braun kid is starting to heat up a bit.

That Prince kid is unfortunately not!

[jordanmuehl]

Wow, Yadier. Take a chill pill...

[Hate those Rodents]

Ha ha ha

RYAN BRAUN IST AM FEUER!

[madjeff66]

Cards 2nd best player, IMHO, just earned himself a couple of days off.

 

I figured he got run to get himself some bench time in a blowout, but his equipment removal will cost him a few days.

[jjfanec]

What is going on here? LaRussa and Molina got ejected?

[GenoSeligPrieb]

I love how Ryan was the only one who took issue with the whole "everything's gonna be alright" vibe after all the losing. It's as if he's saying to himself, "To hell with this then. I'm going to get aggressive...right now!"

 

NL Player of the Week? Ryan's got my vote...

 

Team MVP?

[davemakovec]

Uecker's call on Molina and and LaRussa getting tossed: "It's all Corey's fault. If he'd have swung at that pitch, Molina and LaRussa would still be in the game."

 

Uecker may not be on top of his game anymore, but he's got a lot of good color commentary in him.

[stoops17]

interesting choice to push it by molina, but i agree the ump going out to turn and face molina probably didn't help

[endaround]

Molina went crazy over a pitch that looked low and then LaRussa forced the ump to eject him when he argued for a good 3 minutes without moving.

[crossface21]

Gotta love being on this side of he game so far. We're up by 6 in the 5th and with the inevitable implosion by Bush in the 6th, we should still be able to hold the lead being up by this much.

[MoneyballMan]

Yep, and Molina was a hoot. Was kind of telling the ump "ok, you catch and listen to calls like that" and just started tossing his gear at the umpire. I was waiting for him to take is jock off as well! That was pretty funny, but will definitely cost him a game or two!

[kiwi brewer]

did powell laugh at uecker's "it's all corey's fault" comment? i love when jim breaks out laughing.

 

wait, i thought we signed cameron to make those plays? hmmm.

[crossface21]

It's one of the more original things I've seen someone do when getting tossed.

[MoneyballMan]

Well, here we go....Bush in the 6th.....

[jjfanec]

I wish gameday would post a video of the ejection

[rluzinski]

I'm kind of surprised Cameron couldn't run that down.

[GenoSeligPrieb]

"We're up by 6 in the 5th and with the inevitable implosion by Bush in the 6th, we should still be able to hold the lead being up by this much."

I'm trying a different tactic tonight with Bush.

 

Over the last few years, I've always predicted the inevitable barbecuing he'd sustain in the 5th or 6th inning, and sure enough, most of the time, it happened. Not this time, though.

 

Dave Bush will pitch at least 7, maybe 8, and when he leaves the game, we'll still be up at least 5.

Whats the record for most games in a row with multiple homers?

[MoneyballMan]

I disagree. I think the ump was actually trying to give Molina some time to air his grievances - was just going to go around and clean the plate - and Molina just got more aggitated as he was yelling. I have seen a few umps goad players lately, but in this case I think he was giving him every chance to speak his mind and then keep going. Molina just didn't take the chance and then shut up.

[rluzinski]

Bush has 90 pitches through 5 2/3, so I don't see more than 7 innings from him today.

 

Not that I would complain over that! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'll see your 7 or 8 and raise you to a complete game! How would that get us a bit excited if Bush starts pitching complete games?!!

[GenoSeligPrieb]

Hell, Russ, at that pace, Ned just may have Bush bat again! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
