[Point Beer Is Best]

I hated how that ball looked off the bat from Lee, I thought it was gone for sure.

[JoeH33]

Phew way to get out of that one. Now he can leave the game and still be in line for the win.

I don't know if it's psychological or what, but doesn't it just seem like Jenks should permanently NOT be batting #3? He was looking comfortable, found his groove batting lower in the lineup, then he gets moved back to #3 and so far, it looks like the hot streak is subsiding. Maybe he's just not a 3-hitter??

[COOOOP]

Phew, still have the lead. A 1/3 day by Neifi following his 3/4 day. That should keep him in the lineup everyday until mid August, knowing Dusty.

WHY RICKIE?

WHY!?

 

 

Yet another example of where a bad defense hurts a pitchers ERA.

[Tisko]

way to jinx that too Bill, jeeezzzzzzz

[adambr2]

Does anyone else want to just smack Bill right now for mentioning that 1 on, 2 out was where they did the damage last inning -- right before that double? Gosh Bill, at least be SOMEWHAT superstitious!!

[RWeeksUp2Bat23]

My guy Rickie could not flag that grounder down, the next guy Jones doubles in the run.

 

Had Rickie come up with he would have thrown him out says Uecker...That's baseball...

 

Darn it! Grrrrrrrrrrr. That' alright Rickie will win this with his bat...hopefully.

 

Brewers 3 Cubs 3

Doesn't sound like Rickie would have thrown him out in time anyway.

[COOOOP]

SO Kolb, then maybe Shouse to Turnbow if we can find another run?

[JoeH33]

Even if the bottom of the order doesn't get any runs here, it would at least be nice if they could force Z to throw 15-20 pitches to get his pc over 100.

[JoeH33]

There we go Damian, way to start the inning off.

[berniebrewer4life]

Way to get the lead back boys!!!!!!!

[JoeH33]

Welcome back Jeff!

[mbwcl]

That a boy Rillo!!!

[adamb100]

Our offense is solid, we get right back up

[COOOOP]

God Bless you Cirillo, You may point up at the sky if you wish, and you can stay in Milwaukee as long as you want!

[giffted1]

Nice job Jeff!!

[Trowekamp]

So do you think they walk Hall to get to Jenkins?

 

I mean I would but then I have scouted Jenkins all year.

[adambr2]

In other games, Matt Stairs just hit the potential game winning homer in the top of the 9th to break a 7-7 tie. Royals 9, Reds 7, middle of the 9th

[Trowekamp]

I might have missed it posted somewhere but did they give a reason that Gross got another start over Brady?
