2009-07-08 Cardinals (Wellemeyer) at Milwaukee (Suppan) : 7:05 PM CT [Brewers win, 5-4]

Hey valpo, go check out the buccosforum for a fan site that doesn't follow the rules. That site makes for terrible reading...

 

The rules for the in-game thread are what make this so much better than jsonline's in game blog. I don't understand what the problem is here.

[crewcrazy]

Very nice job by Suppan getting into the 6th inning after it looked like he'd be lucky to get far into the 5th. Stetter continues to be excellence out of the pen. Let's get a few more runs. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Let's try to keep the discussion in this thread on the game. Any debate on the IGT guidelines/game over declarations from this point should probably be posted in the Issues forum.

Boy, the Brewers have been really minimizing Pujols of late.

[crewcrazy]

Yeah, I feel superstitious about mentioning Pujols' 0'fer so far. It's kind of like talking about a perfect game before the final out's recorded.

 

I'd feel great if the Brewers could get a multiple runs before Pujols gets the chance to come up again. A Braun triple is a nice start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I hate how bad we are at hitting sac flies.

[phxMILWfan]

I did fully expect them to pitch around Prince and try for the double play with f-cat

[dlk9s]

I love how Braun wants to stretch every double into a triple. I'm sure he'll get nailed someday, but it's great.

[crewcrazy]

I hate how bad we are at hitting sac flies.

Usually Prince comes through in that spot. He's just been struggling all game long, though.

 

I'm loving the patience shown by Cat and Cameron, though. Hopefully Gamel's got one more line drive in that bat tonight.

[razzzorsharp]

Bases loaded, take a pitch or two here.

[phxMILWfan]

let's go "big game gamel"!!!

[hurricanecrush]

Gamel's had a couple of nice AB's tonight... let's keep it going.

 

Edit: Oh well...

[brewdude15]

not lookin good....

 

EDIT: Saw that comin a mile away.....

[crewcrazy]

He made a nice effort battling back, but I was worried that the crowd gearing up on 3-2 would get him a little antsy. Go get 'em again next inning, I guess...hopefully the bullpen has another 0 in them.

[markedman5]

Unbelievable.

 

7 walks received in 7 innings and we can't get a clutch hit to save our lives.

[brewmann04]

it should have not come down to Mat , Prince is the Big RBI guy and all he needed was a Sac Fly. OUr Big Bat did not get it done.

[dlk9s]

Unbelievable.

 

7 walks received in 7 innings and we can't get a clutch hit to save our lives.

I guess, if you don't count Gamel's homer or Counsell's RBI single.

[crewcrazy]

Not a huge fan of intentionally walking Ankiel after they hung him with the golden sombrero last night, not to mention it guarantees that Pujols will come up in the 9th inning. Hopefully they can get Ryan out this time.

[dlk9s]

I know I'm a little behind, so something may have already happened, but I don't like walking Ankiel.

[markedman5]

Especially considering Ankiel is hitting .224 against righties and Ryan is hitting .296.

 

Worked out though.

[phxMILWfan]

Ask the 3rd base ump if he thought he went there too, just for fun.

[GB12]

If only Counsell had a little more power.

[brewdude15]

Dear JJ,

 

 

PLEASE GET A BASE HIT!

 

 

Sincerely, brewdude15

 

 

EDIT: That'll do.

[dlk9s]

Hardy is going to do it here.

[GB12]

I'll take a walk from JJ.

 

Come on Braun.

[bucks2281]

Let's do this, Braunie.
