5/13/08 Dodgers (Penny) at Brewers (Villanueva): 7:05 PM CDT

[Hate those Rodents]

This would be a great win. I hope Ned isn't thinking the past few games are a fantasy and anything he does will still lead us to a win (in this case the aforementioned Gagne notes).

[dlk9s]

That said, at least it's a 2 run lead, so he doesn't have to be perfect.

Oh, he won't be.

 

[Lake Geneva Brewer Fan]

Fasten your seat belts... to the ninth we go!

[Hate those Rodents]

Non-game related but I got no response in the ML board. What day will there be a conclusion as to what happens with Crabbe?

[rluzinski]

Well, Mota is warming up as well, so maybe gagne will have a short leash?

[lbb020]

I really wonder if Ned wants to be fired........If Gagne does indeed blow it, which seems extremely plausible at this point, how does Ned justify bringing him in? Gagne had 2 nights off of closing, and last night he pitched 2 innings and still did not look like he has found it. If he blows this, Attanosio should order the firing of Yost immediately following the game.

[TauPentaRei]

Hmmm, let's see...

 

3 game winning streak

 

gain a game on the Cubs (T Hoffman pending)

 

Villy's win

 

move above .500

 

all signs point to embattled closer!

[dlk9s]

Did I just hear the fans booing Gagne as soon as the inning ended? What a bunch of geniuses.

[PeaveyFury]

Mota warming very fast as well.

[adambr2]

Boy, Yost is going to do anything he can this year to pound the Gagne sized peg into the circled hole.

[bucks2281]

Cubs lose.

 

More incentive to not put Gagne in the game.

[PeaveyFury]

94-97 MPH?

[dhoffman19]

Oh Jesus here we go.

[iluvlamp]

This is just...I quit!

[PeaveyFury]

To quote Lou Brown "I think you can go and get him now".

[HurricaneBraun]

I'd rather him give up single than to walk him

 

make him earn it

[pebadger]

Yost was reading Ben Franklin's bit about hanging together or hanging separately before the game. It's the only explanation.

 

This could be a watershed moment in the season.

[dhoffman19]

Ok, 88 mph fastball. Not a good sign.

[Yeti73]

At least it is the bottom of the order.

[iluvlamp]

jesus Weeks!!!!!!!

[Yeti73]

At least it is the bottom of the order.

[kiwi brewer]

richard!!!

[rluzinski]

Another non-error/bad defensive play by Weeks. I don't want to hear anymore how the Brewers are statistically a good defensive team!

[adambr2]

What is up with Rickie and absolutely horrible execution on double plays in the 9th?

[iluvlamp]

2 oot!
