Please PLEASE tell me Ned is NOT going to send Cameron OR Hall or Kendall up in the 9th against Lidge when he has all those Lefty bats available?? Oh yeah, I forgot, Cameron, Hall and Kendall are all battlers then have been through it before, "there is nobody I'd rather have up in that spot".

[crewcrazy]

How much of Prince struggling has to do with Hart pretty much being a non-factor at the plate since the All-Star Break?

[DougJones43]

It's officially time to hit mute on the TV, and just play looped circus music while I watch the Brewers.

You realize Cameron has been our best hitter recently right?

[trwi7]

Cameron, Hall and Kendall in the 9th. I can see how it's going to go.

 

Yost will pinch hit Counsell for Hall and let Kendall bat.

Bingo.

[Brewcrewin07]

Yost will pinch hit Counsell for Hall and let Kendall bat.

And Gamel once again won't see an AB, even though he has as good of power as anyone on the ball club. Well at least if the Brewers don't make the postseason Yost will be gone, right??

[Oldcity]

Haha Bill. Says how Charlie Manual would never put on a squeeze, and two pitches later...

[ELCABALLO45]

To quote Wayne Larrivee...

 

There is your dagger

[pebadger]

Since the sweep in STL, the Brewer results against the current playoff contenders in the NL:

 

HOU 1-2

CHC 0-4

LAD 1-2

HOU 2-1

STL 1-1

NYM 0-3

 

That's 5-13 by my count, and looked bad doing it too. Nine games under if this one goes the way it looks like it's going.

 

Bad defense by the Crew and fundamental execution by the other team = deathblow.

[JET15]

This team is getting very hard to watch.

[rluzinski]

Really, that third run is not some huge dagger. Guaranteed being down by 2 runs going into the 9th was the big dagger.

None at all?

KKKameron? Are you crazy?

[brewmann04]

the astros are goint to be the WC winner

[sauveb]

Well, at least Torres gets to rest tonight.

[crewcrazy]

I'd kill to have Russell Branyan available on the bench, but Yost would probably go to Counsell first anyway.

[pebadger]

Like my kid's swim meet where a personal best is a 'win', I'm still just hoping for a two hit rally.

OPS of 1.017 since Aug 1st.

[jason21nl]

and kendall gets the AB

[JET15]

What's wrong with the Philly fans? They don't stand and cheer for the last out?

[Oldcity]

I guess with two out and nobody on it doesn't matter if Kendall hits or not.

[crewcrazy]

Heh...Kendall hitting with two outs. Shock of the century.

 

Maybe they can put something together against Hamels tomorrow, or at least rack up enough strikeouts that his pitch count gets too high to work deep into the game.

[pitchleague]

man, we are just brutally bad right now.

 

I'd like to say, "it's just one game," but that's also what I was told ad nauseum at the following game one of the "HUGE" series at the end of July.

[razzzorsharp]

Dang.

[SeriesFinale]

:suicidebooth:

Improved our record, 3 year extension. Calling it right now.
