Platinum sombrero?

[homer]

Let's hope Lidge treats this like a playoff game.

[Southwest Brewer]

If we can get to Cabello I like our chances to score a run.

[Katuluu]

And my numbers are about Wise are based on LIMITED LIMITED opportunities. Sorry If I stated that this guy has PROVED himself to be a QUALITY set up guy over the years. Oh yeah, HE HASNT.

 

Over the past three seasons these are the numbers for opposing hitters vs Wise in close and late inning situations.

 

141AB 13R 28H 4D 1T 4HR 18RBI 14BB 2HBP 32K 9SB 0CS .199AVG .278OBP .326SLG .605OPS

 

Funny, once again the numbers don't back up your baseless claims.

[jason21nl]

strike zone is beoming inconsistant

[Harold Hutchison]

Like they will. Face it, the umps partially took this one, but the uncharacteristic Wise implosion killed the Crew.

 

*sigh*

What a strange game...

 

-Our only hits are homeruns and we are up 6-3..

 

-Our best reliever not named Derrick Turnbow gives up 5 runs in one inning...

 

-Brewers pull out a win on Lidge?

[JET15]

Gee, I wish they'd PH Okha for Clark here. He's hot with that 2B

Oh it's only 1 game......there's always tomorrow....we're still above 500...did I miss any of the cliches?

Amazingly, their more than cliches, they are the truth. Baseball is a long season, relax and enjoy the good times and don't worry too much about the bad. Complaining isn't going to change this team one bit.

[homer]

Jenkins is going yard here.

 

EDIT: When I say 'yard' I mean bloop single. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[jloos19]

Nice swing Brady!

[M Skjellyfetti]

I'm gonna go ahead and call this one. If they don't walk Jenkins, the Astros will lose.

Edit: Apparently not.

[flosses like fossas]

it's no solace, but preston is 0 for 5, 5 ks, 7 left on base...

[Brewers77]

Man these are the games that hurt when you lose. These make the difference in the end. We need to finish games with a 3 run lead late.

[jloos19]

Nice job Geoff, give Carlos a chance.

[steve267268]

It's official, Jenkins is on one of his tears!

[JoeH33]

C'mon Carlos keep on rollin'

[wisconsinfan47]

That hurt, straight up.

 

And with Oswalt and Petitte coming up...Grrrrr

 

Im going on a walk.

[JoeH33]

Ack.....frustrating game once again. We can still take 2 of 3 though!

[mastershake76]

I'm pretty sure the Brady Clark Torch and Pitchfork Brigade will be out in full force tomorrow morning at the office.

[jloos19]

Ballgame.

[DHonks]

well, he hit it hard. nice try in the 9th

 

Interesting to see Lidge throwing fastballs. Last year the scouting report must have been different, because I remember noting that against the Brewers he was throwing at least 75% sliders.

Hmmmm. Bold call.

 

[Think Bill Walton's voice here:] Verrrrry disappointing.

[jason21nl]

well, time to go kick the dog, or throw the cat or something...ugh, back to back games where you just want to break something...

 

for the record i don't have a cat or dog...good thing

[Harold Hutchison]

Nope.

 

Matt Wise joins the Order of the Baby Seal, and takes a well-deserved loss.
