2009-07-02 Brewers (McClung) at Chicago (Dempster) : 7:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 9-5]

[naivin]

The ump really was squeezing him.

Is that a joke?

[BrewCrewForever]

Alright 2 on and only 1 out. Lets get a few here and try to at least make this game interesting.

[dlk9s]

Obviously umping is not the problem this game, but can someone explain the home plate ump to me?

[naivin]

JJ seems to be back.

[BrewCrewForever]

Hardy looking just terrible tonight.

[wibadgers23]

Hardy doesn't have a clue out there tonight, but that second strike to him just now was bullcrap.

[trwi7]

On another note, Braun has looked bad at te dish tonight.

Not as bad as Hardy.

[BrewCrewForever]

That a boy Braun, hopefully Prince can deliver to and we have a game.

[ProfMath]

Ugh

[dlk9s]

Those were some pretty sick curveballs by Marshall.

[BrewCrewForever]

Those were some pretty sick curveballs by Marshall.

Yeah that second strike one was filthy.

 

I have to hand it to Smith, he gave up that gopher granny but he ate some innings and saved the bullpen for now.

[naivin]

Fantastic job by Marshall...Prince never had a chance.

[crewcrazy]

Well at least Dempster's out of the game. Chances of a comeback are still slim, but hopefully they can keep adding runs and at least make the Cubs sweat a little bit and use Marmol and/or Gregg.

[ProfMath]

Lets put up 2 in the top of the 8th and get the top of the order for the 9th just to make it interesting.

[BrewCrewForever]

That was too close to take with 2 strikes Casey.

[ProfMath]

A swing would have been nice there

[naivin]

Good job by Fontenot to cut that thing off...I thought he was going to let it go for a second.

[pebadger]

Looking for an Old Style comeback.

[pitchleague]

another nice little rally here in the 8th. Our chances still aren't great but there are still chances at least.

 

C'mon, Cat!

[Invader3K]

Brewers have had their chances to get back in but haven't been able to capitalize. Disappointing.

[trwi7]

Nice job swinging at ball four Counsell.

[ProfMath]

Am I correct that we have left 16 men on base this game. Sheesh!

[phxMILWfan]

Lets go Crew, I'm feeling extra innings.

[ProfMath]

We need some baserunners here.

 

Edit: Except we don't want our power hitters to clog the basepaths (per Harold Reynolds)

[dlk9s]

Nice job swinging at ball four Counsell.

He had to swing. It was very close and the ump was giving the pitcher balls off the plate outside.
