Just bean this dude already!

[bucksman4]

So..is it fair to officially call CC a choker in the playoffs?

Is it fair to call you the fairweather fan of the century?

Uh...the guy had a 8.80 ERA last year in the playoffs. He's given up 5 runs in less than 4 innings tonight. I love the guy. I love the Brewers. But come on, don't discount my point just because you're sulking with the Brewers losing...jeez.

[Gobias Industries]

Well the pitch locator didn't make it look like Myers should have been struck out. Or am I missing something?

I think we're all so used to such liberal strike zones that it seems weird when borderline pitches are called a ball like they should be. I had no problem with the zone. He shold of just blew him away with a fastball after it was 0-2.

Are you all going to do this all game?

[TSack27]

I know many of you never want to hear about 1982 again, but since I need to look for a glimmer of hope... remember how the Brewers started in the first round of the playoffs back then?

 

PS - Cy Vukovich lost game 2

[BrewBomber]

Why does CV keep getting up in the pen? Would you bring him in down 4 after pitching yesterday?

[brewerjamie15]

I think I'm gonna blow my freakin' head off right now to end the suffering.

I'll post again shortly.

[cnycerveceros]

Did the Brewers do something notable in 1982? (should be blue, but I don't know how!)

[Bruce Ciskie]

I probably wouldn't have had a problem with it if Myers hadn't gotten a bunch of borderline calls himself after throwing more balls than strikes in the first inning.

[brewmann04]

Brewers troubles went from Western PA to Eastern PA became their new house of Horrors.

[afeter]

good idea. lets put some guys on down by four runs. sheesh

[brewmann04]

Hopefully they will find some luck at home Sat night.

[bbaehman]

That third pitch was cloooose...boy, this could be bad

[cnycerveceros]

Hopefully they will find some luck at home Sat night.

Regardless of this current downer of a game, Sat. is going to be fun. I wish I could be there.

[bbaehman]

CC, if that was your last time in a Brewers uni...thanks for everything.

 

Hopefully, we can sign you

[naivin]

Is the debate on yet?

[moofnelson]

Man, those Phillies fans are brutal.

[naivin]

So is Sveum gonna get fired tomorrow after the Brewers got their brains beat in in Philadelphia?

[yount19.u]

This sucks. CC didn't deserve this game. His command was off, but not by much and the score should be 2-1 Brewers.

[bjkrautk]

Admittedly, he got squeezed quite a bit.

 

But, in all fairness, C.C. could not keep the ball down, and the Phillies have hit a ton of pitches up in the zone (which is why they have so many XBH). Just disappointing.

You think? I've been using every connection I have to try and get tickets, but I'm not sure if I even should now. It's going to be rough.

[madjeff66]

4th straight start on 3 days rest, (and they had no choice, given the way the series dates fell) turned out to be a bridge too far.

 

 

Had the wall been hit on the third start, we wouldn't be here right now.

 

Hope Miller is a zoo the next two games and try to get back here with CC on normal rest.

 

I'm not a big fan of managers getting tossed, but if Sveum had a "discussion" with the HP ump after giving Stetter instructions, it wouldn't have bothered me in the least.

[moofnelson]

I wonder if a team has ever hit two grandslams in a postseason game?

[naivin]

Attentiona Brewers: Just get CC to game 5. After all he's done for you, you owe him that opportunity.

[bbaehman]

Now we get a call...perfect
