Claudio Vargas would be proud.

Great job Dave!!!!

[olsonnet]

wow the nats are bad

[jakesdaddio]

Wow, That's battlin.

[crewcrazy]

He stranded the bases loaded after having no outs? Nice Claudio Vargas impression, Dave! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Nice job Bush!!!

 

Way to get yourself out of that one, buddy!!!

[datrain711]

wow nice work bush!!

 

watching the nats hit right there gave me flashbacks to the Davey Lopes era.

[yount19.u]

Ok, first off, great job by Bush to get out of that mess. Second, if he's facing any other NL team, the score is at least 4-3 at the end of that inning.

[eanelson4]

Unreal. God save the Nationals! They are a cure-all!

[sheethead]

Wow, the Nats are really, really bad. Bush was going to let them back in the game, but they couldn't capitalize. Thank you Nats!

[jakesdaddio]

third time through the lineup is usually the charm for the Crew. C'mon, knockout punch.

[Fear The Chorizo]

glad Bush got out of that jam, but wow - that was stink on ice right there by the top of the Nats' order

[trwi7]

Claudio Vargas would be proud.

 

 

His name isn't Claudio, it's Clordio. Ever since Ann Carroll called him Clordio last year I've called him that. Have to keep that going to keep Ann Carroll in our mind and realize how good we have it with Trenni.

I love how disrespectful we are of the Nationals, conveniently forgetting how much we hated it when we were in their position.

[statman0007]

If only we could play the Nationals everyday

[sheethead]

I don't see any National in that starting lineup I would take at Nashville. Maybe Milledge, but probably not.

[SeriesFinale]

Nats or not, this is a major-league team and I was watching that inning through my fingers

 

True, I can't imagine the Cubs not driving in at least one run in that situation, but I think Bush did his part there as well.

The Nationals are disrespecting themselves. We are just agreeing with them.

[sdcheezhd]

We split with the Nats in May. We are one nice AB from Rivera away from maybe splitting with them this time.

[jakesdaddio]

I'm watching Gameday. Did JJ just miss that one??

[Darnell Junior]

Lastings caught it on the other side of the fence according to gameday.

Uhhhhh.... If we had a 3rd baseman like Ryan Zimmerman, the Cubs might be looking up at the Brewers as the division leader right now.

[owbc]

The Nationals aren't this bad. We are making them look this bad because we are playing really well--especially our pitching.

 

True, they are 44-74, but they must have beaten someone to get those 44 wins. Give credit to the Brewers for taking care of business.

 

For perspective, the 2002 Milwaukee Brewers were 44-85 before they won their 45th game. That was only 6 years ago.

[Fear The Chorizo]

with their bullpen situation, my guess is mock will probably be left in a batter too long, and give up a big inning somewhere in here...hopefully that's right now

[sargennm]

Sadly we only got one top draft pick in that Zimmerman draft. You may remember him as Ryan Braun. Calm down everybody, five-game winning streak, three-game wild card lead. CC *%++# Sabathia. This team is good.
