I'll second that "thank goodness" on the Bucks woogie! I didn't know that this is their last game and it sort of made it more bearable for me to have to listen on the radio knowing it is the last time I will be forced to do so. LET'S GO CREW!!

[davemakovec]

Braden Looper, cagey vet, realizes rule # 1 when facing the Reds: Willy Taveras is bad at baseball, but very fast. Do. Not. Walk. Him.

 

He can't get on base otherwise.

[hurricane3184]

what happened to Hardy?

[jeffy]

Okay everyone is wearing 42, fine...but seems silly to do this with no names on the uniforms

[BrewCrewForever]

That was very nice to see. Nice hit Ryan!

[jeffy]

what happened to Hardy?

 

In case you are not watching on TV, I beleive they just said "sore back"

[dlk9s]

what happened to Hardy?

Probably just getting a day off. Everyone but Cal Ripken gets days off now and then.

[parkside21]

I think those of us not watching on tv were just confused because Hardy was in the starting lineup, so it is unlikely it was a scheduled day off. Also, add to the confusion that on the box score (Yahoo) at first it said Counsell came in for Hart, because they still listed Hart as hitting 2nd. Mega confusing for those of us that can't catch tonight's game on WMLW.

[jeffy]

Definitely not a scheduled day off for Hardy, he was a late "scratch" from the line up. With Hardy out, Macha juggled the line up as he did not want counsell batting 5th.

[parkside21]

That's what it appears to be, jeffy. Thanks for clearing it up. Obviously, hopefully it's nothing major with Hardy and he'll stay hot.

[JoeHova]

Too bad the Bucks season is over, although they did limp to the finish, so in that sense it's good. Next year should be exciting assuming they re-sign Sessions.

 

Anyway, did anybody get the time of the first pitch? I forgot to mark it down.

[jeffy]

I don't remember seeing Rickie Weeks make a single bad defensive play in these first few games. This has to be one of the biggest positives so far.

[BrewCrewForever]

He might not have a HR or a high average yet but Ryan is really taking his walks. Love the approach.

[jeffy]

For those not watching, on TV they just said the Brewers are leading the league in walks...shocking information.

 

 

[phxMILWfan]

8 straight balls from Owings, I was actually stunned Corey took 2 pitches before he started hacking. There's real growth going on here!

[3Putt]

Not on TV in the Fox Valley if your only option is FSN. I think I'll boycott 2 games for every 1 that is pre-empted by the meaningless Bucks games. How can they cut such a bad deal that they're forced to run lower rated programming?

[cnycerveceros]

Nice dig Prince.

[phxMILWfan]

Nice job by Prince picking that one out of the dirt to save the double play.

[adamb100]

2 dingers tonight for cameron.

[razzzorsharp]

How is Looper looking, I can his results are very nice but was wondering if he is dealing?

[brains and braun]

No one following the game tonight? Braunie just got robbed, but I didn't mind, cuz he belted the ball the other way. Looking a bit better tonight.

[adamb100]

Looper gave up the tying home run.

[dabrew141]

greaaattt play by bruce in right field....looper just laced a meatball and......were tied
