7/26 Non-Brewers Thread

[crewcrazy]

Cubs/Marlins is currently on WGN for those interested. It's Rich Harden throwing against Marlins rookie Chris Volstad, who's been great in his first few Major League starts -- looks like the Fish have another nice young pitcher.

 

Harden walked the leadoff man to start the game, then struck out the side. The Marlins are one of the NL leaders in strikeouts, if I remember correctly.

 

Other meaningful games:

Atlanta (Hampton) @ Philly (Hamels) - 2:55

St. Louis (Piniero) @ New York (Knight) - 6:10

 

Looks like most of us are stuck with the Red Sox/Yankees game on FOX this afternoon...ugh.

Hermida another homer today, tied at 1 in the top of the 3rd.

[brewcrew00]

Aramis Ramirez HR, 2-1 Cubs with two outs in the bottom of the 3rd.

[berniebrewer4life]

Just to let everybody know, Mike Hampton is starting his first game in 35 months today. I'm gonna assume he doesn't make it out of the 3rd inning.

[crewcrazy]

Harden struck out 10 through 5 innings again today, but Volstad's pitching very well for the Marlins. I can't say I'm excited to see Harden go nuts against the Brewers to close out the series next week -- how many combined K's between Weeks, Braun, Fielder, Hart, Branyan, and Cameron? 10? 12?

I'm really hoping he does well. He's had some hard luck and some pretty major injuries. Hopefully he's able to do something.

Hermida just hit another homer today. Game tied 2-2....GO FISH!!!!!!!

[Mike2k33]

Haha, both times I flip back to the Cubs game Hermida hit HRs. Tied again.

[crewcrazy]

Jeremy Hermida hits his second HR of the game (and third in his past 4 AB's) to tie the game at 2 in the 8th. Harden gets another no decision.

[Braminano]

And Harden once again won't pick up a win.

[craigharmann]

So far, CC has 4 starts, 4 wins.....Harden has 0 wins.....who got the better end of their trade?

[SlideBernieSlide]

Isnt CC 4 for 4 in the wins category as a Brewer? (COL, CIN, @SF and @STL)

[craigharmann]

My bad

[sheethead]

After listening to the entire Cubs broadcast on the radio yesterday, I wonder if Hughes learned how to pronounce Amezaga's name. Yesterday he kept saying Am-a-zaga. Its pronounced how its spelled Pat. And Santo may just be the dumbest person on the radio. He may not be that way in real life, but he sounds like a complete moron on the radio.

[craigharmann]

Brenly sounded like an idiot when they were talking about the minor league brawl, and Brenly says, "It's a despicable thing for anything like that to happen, but I'll withhold judgment until I get the full story." HUH???? Like there's a legitimate reason why a pitcher, in a fight, will take a baseball and try to throw a projectile into the opposing teams' dugout? He had intent to hurt someone! That just sounded so stupid and moronic.

Maybe Julio Castillo thought he saw a dragon in the dugout and wanted to protect everyone. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif Hey Bob, the full story is all over the internet, including video. Maybe Santo can teach you how to use Google.

 

[craigharmann]

Is it me or does Marmol-aid not really seem that intimidating?

 

Eh, he got out of it....but I'm scared that this could be Cubs walk-off time. I'm hoping not.

[craigharmann]

1st base coach got tossed for arguing that DeRosa was called out (which he was)...now Lou has too....Hanley made a great throw to get DeRosa out. It sure was a close play. But DeRosa was out.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

lou is doing his best aquafina commercial

[trwi7]

Yeah, he was definitely out.

[COOOOP]

I have the Cubs radio cast on at the moment. Ron Santo is quite possibly the most annoying radio announcer I have listened to this year!

[trwi7]

Don't get mad at the umpires Lou and Mike. Get mad at DeRosa for sliding into first and slowing himself down.

[molitor fan]

Cubs are embarrassing themselves tremendously. Sinatro bumpes the umpire, after a correct call I might add, then Pinella comes out and belly bumps the ump as well. Just a joke...There had better be some suspensions out of this.

That's exactly it. It's stupid to slide into first. And thankfully, so far, no walkoff.

 

[pitchleague]

that was fun to watch. Nice job by Pinto to keep his focus.

 

c'mon Fish. Do some damage in extras!
