7/24/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Cardinals (Wellemeyer): 7:15 CDT

[pebadger]

Two games in STL in late August I think.

[bernieh]

Huge, huge, huge strike against Braun there. I know he thought he got all of it, but that was a wall scraper. You gotta run there.

 

Totally agree. If it ever comes back to bite him/us in a crucial situation, I'll be muy muy mad. And I can see every other team we play hating his guts.

 

BUT OTHERWISE I LOVE YOU RYAN BRAUN

[BrewCrewForever]

I had a feeling Braun might hit one there. The way LaRue kept setting up inside made me think Franklin might make a mistake and not get it in far enough.

[saget]

Braun makes me squeal

[ELCABALLO45]

Sheets pitched good, I guess I was disapointed because after CC.. MY Bad.

 

And I also thought this game was over...

 

This team is something else.

[pebadger]

Right field, Billy

[ELCABALLO45]

Bases loaded for Wes Helms in Wrigley LOL

[BrewCrewForever]

Is there a hotter combo in the bigs right now then Hardy and Braun?

[Trowekamp]

Why Torres? I want Villanueva because his arm is fresh.

I renew my push to annoint Villy as 8th inning guy but I think Torres works better a little used. not worn out but tired so the ball gets a little extra sink..

[mastershake76]

my god... BA just announced that this would be 6 wins in the final at-bat against St. Louis this year. Un Freaking Believable.

[hurricanecrush]

Helms struck out with the bases loaded with two out in the 9th.

 

He's still killing us.

[ELCABALLO45]

Let's get a 1-2-3 quick inning,

 

Pack our bags and head back to Miller.

[jjgott]

Cubs just won...time to keep pace.

[AJAY]

Dear Ned, please reconsider and bring in a fresh arm to close this one out.

 

I recommend Villanueva.

[pebadger]

Big difference is that BA said 'IF'. Cards had alredy set something in stone.

 

Still, on edge for the 9th.

[Pedro]

I'm not much of a stats guy, but what's the Major league record for watching your home run before starting to run? I couldn't find it on baseball-reference.com. I'm trying to put Braun's pose into perspective.

[logan82]

I think the win expectancy graph on fangraphs should be interesting for this one, however it ends.

[Team Canada]

That SeriesFinale quote about Braun and Hunter Pence's mom would be appropriate right about now. Whose sig is that again..?

[bullox]

That keeps the team HR streak going also

[ELCABALLO45]

Braun brought his Sexy to the game.

I'm sure Milton Bradley or Barry Bonds hold that record Pedro.

 

[Trowekamp]

Hardy and Braun both break through the .300 barrier..

 

by the way July OPS:

 

Hardy 1.212

Braun 1.197

 

You know in the locker room after Hardy will be all over Braun about the .005 lead : )

[razzzorsharp]

Let's go Torres. You need to keep the ball down here.

[logan82]

Helms struck out with the bases loaded with two out in the 9th.

 

He's still killing us.

Figures. I am still trying to sort out if he has hurt us more while he played for us or since he left.

[BrewCrewForever]

Helms struck out with the bases loaded with two out in the 9th.

 

He's still killing us.

I'm pretty sure Helms will kill us one way or another for as long as the universe is in tact.
