I'm not sure how to feel about the NL Wildcard race... is disgusted optimism possible?

That's a good way of putting it. If the Brewers end up with a 78-84 record but finish 1 game out of the wild card, is it a successful season?

[Kaukauna]

Surely this has been brought up before, so I apologize for beating a dead horse in that case, but has there been a drinking game established around Sutton's use of the word "certainly?" It's maddening.

[fondybrewfan]

All I ask for is one stinkin run!! Only one!!! Comn Damian

[fondybrewfan]

There is about 10 words or phrases that could be put into a drinking game.

 

No doubt about it!!!

[fondybrewfan]

So do you pinch hit if Damian doesnt drive him in?

[Schlitz001]

There is a thread somewhere with the rules to Bill and Daron's drinking game.

[badgerfan.tgf]

Holy pathetic Billy Hall.

[Rob]

Nice job Bill.

[Schlitz001]

Alright!!!

[B2k1121]

Whoa why not let Bush hit?

Pickoff Attempt 1B

With Damian Miller batting, Bill Hall picked off and caught stealing 2nd base, pitcher Josh Fogg to first baseman Todd Helton.

Pitch 6 - Foul

Pitch 7 - In play, run-scoring play

Yesssss.

[Rob]

Okay, so do you pull Bush now? I don't. I don't trust the bullpen at all.

[Schlitz001]

Do we really need to take Dave Bush out right now?

[fondybrewfan]

O jeez we got a bullpen for 3 innings? Ok Wise, Turnbow, and Cordero. Need to get it done!!!

[B2k1121]

Yost is just begging for the bullpen to lose the game

[Rob]

Again, nice job Bill.

[Schlitz001]

I guess Gross comes through. Nice.

[fondybrewfan]

I guess you cant blame him for trying to stay out of the double play, but you better make darn sure he goes to the plate!!!

Wise, Turnbow, and Cordero.

I think Ned said he was going to use Turnbow in middle relief for awhile, probably not in a close game. I think we'll see Cappellan and Cordero for sure, with Shouse being a strong possibility depending on matchups.

[TauPentaRei]

wow yost looks bad if Brady doesn't drive in damian.

 

what the hell? 77 pitches through 6, 4 hits?! (prince's misplay being #5)

[pitchleague]

yep, Bill Hall turned it from a 2-0 lead to only a 1-0 lead.

 

The bullpen is scaring me. Looks like Shouse in the 7th, though. At least he's been decent for us.

[thablingster]

Thank you Damian for saving me a post in the venting thread.

 

Great job by Bush tonight.

 

C'mon Brady.

[fondybrewfan]

I cant blame him for taking him out, this has been the first sign of life for the offense the whole game, he is just trying to squeeze as many runs out as he can until inevitably the bats go cold again
