Like a cheetah is Jason Kendall.

[crewcrazy]

Wow...you don't see Dunn hit a little tapper like that often. Good break, now let's get out of this inning.

[Fear The Chorizo]

estrada has no chance to make that play - let's wiggle out of this one

[razzzorsharp]

This is just a bad game.

[crewcrazy]

Tough break with the ball bouncing off the shin guard...ugh. Hopefully they can get something going in the bottom of the 8th.

[chadomac]

After 92 games, it does.

 

agreed. if there's one thing i've learned from coming to this message board, it's that many brewer fans completely overreact.

 

yes, we are sucking in this game... but we have had a successful season so far. relax. it's just one game.

 

and thank you jason kendell for being a very smart catcher

[cnycerveceros]

This probably belongs somewhere else on the message board, but I'm really starting to wonder why I continue to follow this team right now. I don't mean giving up entirely, but maybe a little Brewer vacation and then come back and see what it looks like in a week or so.

[dlk9s]

Wild pitches have helped the Reds score three runs tonight.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Let's see...

 

Couldn't hit a terrible pitcher. Again.

Blew a three-run lead in half the time it took to take it.

Left the starting pitcher in too long.

Made stupid mistakes in the field.

Threw three wild pitches.

 

Down one run with six outs to go. I'm cool.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Cameron saves two runs there - this has the look of one of those 45 games every mlb team loses during the course of the season...hopefully they can find a way to scratch some more runs out.

[crewcrazy]

Still 6 outs to get 1 run. Of course, if Hardy-Braun-Fielder all fly out on a total of like 9 pitches, I might scream. But let's worry about that bridge if we get to it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Probably somewhere in the 7-13 games over .500 range and somewhere around the wild card lead is my guess.

I don't mind when guys make outs on only 1 or 2 pitches, as long as it was a nice pitch to hit.

fair enough, I'll admit I have trouble seeing the forest for the trees at times. At the same time, it's not as if this is the first game the Brewers have taken a multi-run lead in late innings only to have to rally again. And, also, I've never been a fan of the Wild Card because it lets mediocre teams into the playoffs. The 92 Brewers were a very good team, but not the best, so no playoffs, there is something to that. Anyway, I'll admit I'm being very negative tonight.

 

[crewcrazy]

Wow, JJ hit that one hard...too bad it was right at Weathers. Another tough break.

 

BRAUN DOUBLES!

[bucks2281]

Why couldn't that ball be 2 feet higher? I don't trust Prince.

[Brewcrewin07]

Boy if there was ever a time for Prince.....

[Fear The Chorizo]

Fielder gets himself out so much...swing at strikes!

[crewcrazy]

Wow...all three balls have been hit hard so far this inning, but two are outs. Hopefully Corey can dump another single in to tie this game up.

[Brewcrewin07]

Is it me or does it always seem like the Brewers have the bottom of the order up in the 9th, in games the are trailing in??

[chadomac]

and now *I* will be negative and say that Prince Fielder sure does have good stats for the way he looks at the plate sometimes. He sure seems to swing at junk a lot.

[crewcrazy]

Most teams have the bottom of their order up in the bottom of the 9th -- one of the reasons why saves are a bit overrated, in my opinion. Hopefully Hall and Cameron feel like making up for their recent blunders. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[bucks2281]

I'd rather have Gagne in this situation, as hard as that may be to believe.

 

I don't think we'll be able to use Torres tomorrow, now.

[Fear The Chorizo]

"Is it me or does it always seem like the Brewers have the bottom of the order up in the 9th, in games the are trailing in?? "

 

That was as good an oppotunity to score runs as there was all game...hardy's grounder nailing weathers prevented a run from scoring - Coco should have a fun inning, what with this ump's strike zone including 3 inches low and off the plate

[chadomac]

the defense really killed us today. everyone pitched decently, but those errors killed.
