8/20/08 Astros (Rodriguez) at Brewers (Parra): 1:05 PM CDT

Could have been worse. It would be nice to see the offense respond and keep the pressure on.

[trwi7]

Gameday had strike 3 to Wandy way outside, was it a bad call? According to Powel,l Manny got screwed on ball 3 to Ausmus though.

Strike 3 to Wandy had plenty of the plate at the thighs.

[wibadgers23]

Wow, Bill Hall looks lost right now.

[datrain711]

terrible at bat by Hall

[cnycerveceros]

Bill Hall rarely looks anything but lost.

[moofnelson]

Wow, Bill Hall looks lost right now.

Bill Hall has been lost for quite some time now. I think they've even taken his picture off the milk cartons.

 

BTW, this game is starting to look like yesterday all over again.

[datrain711]

this appears to be one of those games that will be nerve-wracking the entire way. Some really bad at bats for us so far.

[wibadgers23]

Bill Hall rarely looks anything but lost.

Very true.

[sargennm]

I love losing batters after starting them 0-2. It's my favorite thing in the world. That's why I'm a Brewers fan.

[bbaehman]

How about laying off some of these walks, Manny?

[datrain711]

thank you tejada for that bill hall-like discipline

[yount19.u]

Did those first 2 pitches split the plate or is it just me?

[trwi7]

This is one of the worst strike zones I've ever seen.

[cnycerveceros]

man, the board seems more negative than usual today. Are people starting to fear losing the WC lead? Are you preparing yourself for it mentally?

I've been a Brewer fan for 23 years, my life has prepared me for it.

[wibadgers23]

Something might get thrown at my tv if Blum gets another run scoring hit here.

Me too. Last year I got fooled and burned, this year I'm trying to be more level headed. It's hard.

[bbaehman]

And Blum is up of course and Parra falls behind...BIG PLAY GABE!

[moofnelson]

Blum must be due for a 3-run homer by now.

 

Parra will only be able to go 5 innings today. Pitch count already over 90 pitches.

[yount19.u]

Thank you Gabe! Maybe our luck has turned.

[sargennm]

Finally. Hit the showers Manny. Thanks Gabe!

[datrain711]

way to go gabe!! maybe this will spark the crew

[trwi7]

Thank you Mr. Kaplan. You were always my favorite teacher back in the 70's.

[wibadgers23]

Nice throw Gabe! Now get some runs!

[Glennron]

I can't believe how fortunate Parra is giving up only 2 runs, he threw wayyy to many balls.
