7/11/08 Reds (Fogg) at Brewers (Parra): 7:05 CDT

[wibadgers23]

Get the lead and then give it right back the next inning. Nobody does it better than Brewers pitchers.

[hurricanecrush]

I'm normally a Ned supporter... but wheN is he going to go get Manny? What is he waiting for?

[TGJforPrez]

I don't think he wanted Dunn to pinch hit there against the righty

[mrfed8]

Somehow, if Ned could just see the future, say, a batter or two into the future - it always seems that he is just a little late in bullpen moves

[Brewcrewin07]

Hey, good news!! Maybe we will get to see Gas can Mota in the 8th with the Brewers leading.

[crewcrazy]

I really, really hate playing the Reds. It seems like something always has to go horribly wrong, whether it's Javier Valentin with a walkoff single or Manny Parra cruising through 6 innings and faltering in the 7th.

[marquettefan13]

This defense is pathetic.

[hurricanecrush]

Are you kidding me?

[Roscoe Chill]

Aren't people saying Parra is on some kind of innings limit? 5-2 lead after six strong? Nice game kid. But no...

[bucks2281]

Well, that's just about as ugly as it gets.

[PeaveyFury]

I've said it a couple of times lately, but for being so good in centerfield, Cameron sure does suck out there.

[mrfed8]

I love how Cameron just stops in his tracks and looks at the ball after he misplays it

[sargennm]

But the heck? Geez

[crewcrazy]

Who does Manny Parra have to kill to get his 9th win? Between this and the Arizona game he's got to be frustrated. Still three innings left for the Brewers to bat but this sure does suck.

[cnycerveceros]

this team is so much fun to watch. I love how it's always close and tense right to the last out. Taking a lead and holding it is just no fun.

[SZBrewerFan]

Yeah its a great thing we got that 3 time gold glover to sure up our outfield. Gabe Kapler anyone? Does Cameron have something against Manny Parra? He Ned there is a lefty up right now. Are you saving Shouse and Stetter for something?

[razzzorsharp]

Huge (maybe) K there for Riske.

[pebadger]

THing about that Cameron error is the ball was really well hit and he tracked it perfectly off the bat to even have a shot at it. SOmething must have come across his field of vision at just the last moment to cause him to miss it. I'm guessing from teh angle that it may well have been one of the ribbon boards. It's happened before at MP.

[crewcrazy]

Yeah, it looked like Cameron had it for sure but lost it at the last second -- I have no idea what happened but it's not like he horribly misplayed it. I have more of a problem with him just standing there and letting the ball roll to the wall.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Balls hit at that level get lost in the ring of lights that go around the bottom of the 2nd deck at MP - you could tell he was tracking the ball, but completely lost it his last 2 strides when it was coming back down through the lights.

 

I'm not going to blame Cameron completely for that, Kapler probably doesn't even get to that ball before it drops

[razzzorsharp]

Riske threw a lot of 0-2 strikes there, turned out nice but yikes.

[bucks2281]

At least the game is tied.

 

It seems like every game against Cincy is interesting.

[Fear The Chorizo]

wow that ball was scalded

[wibadgers23]

Well that was ugly. Let's get a run or two back.

[sargennm]

Should still have the lead, but now it's time to treat this team like the Reds.
