7/6/08 Pirates (Duke) at Brewers (Suppan), 1:05 CT

[Schlitz001]

Whatever's wrong with JJ Hardy, don't fix it.

[TheBucketheadBrigader]

How does THAT ball drop?

[hurricanecrush]

8 doubles, 3 homers and two lousy singles... and we are only in the fifth inning.

[Menotti80]

this is one of the greatest tennis matches ive ever seen...

[DHonks]

man, I think Nady learned from Jenkins' book of "unnecessary slides".

[PeaveyFury]

not a big fan of ever removing hart out of a game in the 6th inning....

[Bernman23]

Remember that inning if the Pirates can come back. Brewers squander a 3rd base and nobody out opportunity. It was Russell Branyan who squandered a 3rd base and less than two out chance in the top of the 8th or 9th, which preceded the D-Backs comeback on Thursday. We really could have used that extra run. Got to keep putting the pressure on especially with how tenuous our bullpen is.

[Schlitz001]

this is one of the greatest tennis matches ive ever seen...

Nadal finally does it.

[Menotti80]

yes... what a match

[TooLiveBrew]

I LOVE how classy & appreciative the Wimbledon crowds are

 

"Gotta be the greatest match we've ever seen. Ever." -- John MacEnroe

[TooLiveBrew]

4 hrs. 48 min.: Longest match ever, in terms of duration

 

Second time ever a match has gotten to 9-7 in the 5th set.

 

10-0 streak in non-French Open majors finals record for Federer snapped.

[TooLiveBrew]

"You gotta expect the worst. It was the worst opponent on the best court." -- Federer

 

That one got a nice laugh from the crowd

 

Nadal is on the verge of breaking down... and I can understand why.

 

 

"It is important for me that I am in the time as the greatest player in the world"

 

"He's still the #1, he's still the best" -- Nadal, on Federer

 

 

This is a final that I will be proud to tell people that I was able to watch. Granted, not all of it... gotta have priorities when it comes to the Brewers! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Umm I know I missed something but why is Corey Hart out of the game?

[Vgmastr]

Double switch when Riske came in.

[Menotti80]

yeah im actually surprised he's kept it together so well so far

[crewcrazy]

I loved how Nadal literally climbed up to the section where his parents were sitting above the broadcast booth, then walked over the top of the scoreboard to the Royal Box to shake hands with the Spanish royalty that were invited to the match.

 

Back to the ballgame, it looks like Riske's trying to give me a heart attack. Lovely.

[moofnelson]

McEnroe-Borg had some epic matches. This one between Nadal-Federer was one of the greatest. Almost as great as the other tremendous matchup today: Suppan v. Duke.

[TooLiveBrew]

"To me, this was the greatest match I've ever seen." -- John MacEnroe

 

To hear someone with his perspective categorize it like that is really powerful imo.

[hurricanecrush]

We almost had an inning without an extra base hit.

 

9 doubles, 3 homers and 2 lousy singles.

[ELCABALLO45]

Kaplan!

[mls4]

9 doubles ties a Brewer franchise record, per the radio broadcast- done 4 times previously.

 

The 12 extra-base hits ties a franchise record, done once on 5-15-01 against Philadelphia. 9 doubles and 3 HR- Richie Sexson with 2 doubles and a HR, Jeromy Burnitz and Ronnie Belliard with 3 doubles each, Raul Casanova and Devon White each with a HR, and Tyler Houston with a double.

[cruiserx43]

JJ are you for real?!?

[hurricanecrush]

Nice DP! JJ made a nice clean pickup on that loose ball.

[splitterpfj]

Hardy visited a Witch Doctor when his shoulder was sore.....I am now convinced.

[TooLiveBrew]

Big update in the Sabathia thread, for those curious
