I didn't know there was a "wheel house" for double plays...always learning new things from BA.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

O great. Back to the sky is falling. I would die for an option to mute the announcers but keep the sounds of the park.

[razzzorsharp]

I guess that's why you don't walk two hitters with a 5 run lead.

[MillerParkSouth]

I really don't like Stetter's propensity to completely lose the strike zone for batters at a time. Good thing we got those runs in the top half of the inning.

The dream we all dream of.

At least he's usually in for one hitter...so you find out quickly if he has it or not.

I understand that when the concept of broadcasting baseball games on TV was new, it was thought that would be the way it was done and it would mean no job for the old radio announcers.

This game is long and against the Pirates.

[razzzorsharp]

I still feel bad for the Pirates and Pirate fans. No team deserves this.

Can we play you every week?

Can we play you,

Can we play you,

CAN WE PLAY YOU EVERY WEEK?

 

Postgame handshakes, all.

I'd like to think a certain Chicago team could use one of these streaks.

[jeffy]

What is the longest streak against a single opponent?

 

edit: I guess it is at least 23: http://stats.sfgate.com/mlb/preview.asp?g=290505123

I look at the dejected forum posts (excluding the cuss- and hate-filled ones), and see the nearly empty PNC Park and recall the extent to which that matched our fan lives in 2003. So I have some empathy for Pirate fans...but it's a finite amount. Thanks, Pittsburgh, you've been swell, see you in July. Brewers, Brewers, keep turning up the heat.

I felt the same way until Karstens hit Braun...now I want to drive them into oblivion.

[Invader3K]

So, I have a "dougmelvin" that I follow on Twitter. I _think_ it's the real Melvin, but I could be wrong.

 

Got this message at 11:25 PM last night: "At a bar at the airport in PIT trying to convince the bartender I should drink for free on account of how we own his team."

 

That's awesome.

[GormanHarvey]

That's hilarious Invader!

By the look of the crowd, they are already there.

[Invader3K]

Actually, judging by who the guy is "following" I think it's a fake...but yes, still funny in my opinion.

I don't believe it's him. I would believe it if he said he was not inclined to order an appetizer at this time. Work in a few and that's and I'll follow him too.

If it was Doug Melvin the comment would be

"At a bar at the airport in PIT trying to convince the bartender I should drink for free on account of how we own his team, and that"

 

Our manager is to in love with the sac bunt.

 

I didn't like the Hart double switch at first because I forgot about Duffy on the bench. I didn't mind a defensive substitution at that point in the game.
