ty. I don't have gameday up.

[palmettoscott]

Think back to last week tho.....Lilly no hit us til the 6th or 7th (too lazy to look it up) and we went on to win that game...... just looking for the silver lining

[GormanHarvey]

How's your MVP now smoltz???

[naivin]

Very Brewer like approach for Howard that time - except for the 3-2 count of course.

[yount19.u]

Double switch. Is Weeks the one to go? I hope so.

[jhgill]

I swear to God, I feel like we're watching a game with Phillies announcers. I can't wait to see em with Sabathia - although the whole time they'll be saying "he's gonna leave next year, he's gonna leave next year."

Actually, no!. That was Saturday. We still lost, but eventually got some runs. We will not get shut out today either.

Why is Smoltz such a fan of the Phillies? is it just the Yost thing? Get over it and be a professional. The fans nor the players fired him. I'm sick of him being a cheerleader.

Yeah, they will try to find someone way to be a dark cloud over anything good we may do.

 

Where was Villa's first pitch?

[TheEndless7]

How is Ryan Howard such an amazing hitter for...fouling off balls a foot outside and low?

 

I'm sorry, but...doesn't a good hitter not swing at those and walk?

Then the following day, after a leadoff hit, Cubs relievers retired 16-17 in a row. They also won the wild card that day. Keep it close!

completely right, I am sorry for the brain fart.....

[RobDeer 45]

Yo did do his job. Should be 0-0. Fires me up.

[yfinn6]

It's not just these commentators, everyone has been picking the Phillies. They're obviously the favorites, they're supposed to win in the minds of people who "know baseball". If the announcers bother you guys so much you could put the game on mute...?

 

*Edit - I know I complained about it before - that's why I say put it on mute. The Doors are much more pleasant on the ears than John Smoltz.

[davemakovec]

The game against Lilly was the one we lost last weekend.

 

Anyway, the color commentators sent the entire Howard at-bat about how great he was and that lefties are a little tougher, but he would just wait until he got his pitch and then hit it.

 

They were literally describing the at-bat as if they knew that Howard was going yard. He then punched out on a filthy slider, and one of them meekly chirped, "you get that sometimes..."

[GormanHarvey]

This pretty much goes without saying, but we better at least tie it up before the 9th if we are going to have a chance

[jwill535]

Its not that he is a cheerleader it is just that there are more good things to say about the Phillies then the Brewers. Other then Rickie coming out of the game and Hart looking like he belongs in MLB was other good things have they done today.

[mls4]

Why did they put in Counsell and not Durham? For better defense?

For the weather I don't think they want to try Durhams hamstring with the current field conditions.

[yfinn6]

Counsell noodles one to the outfield. Let's string together some hits now!

[cnycerveceros]

I don't want to be a downer, but objectively, wouldn't you pick the Phillies? The Brewers are deservedly the underdog, for a lot of reasons. I still think the Brewers are a good team, and I know they get disrespected a lot, but the Phillies won their division, finished the year hot, swept the Crew just a few weeks ago, and were here last year.

[GormanHarvey]

Zone is getting a little tighter for Hamels now
