2009-08-05 Brewers (Looper) at Dodgers (Schmidt) : 9:10 PM CT [Brewers win 4-1]

[hawing]

Let's see if I can at least start the thread before the first pitch. Come on Brewers, make it more of a game tonight and less of a sideshow.

 

2B Felipe Lopez

SS Craig Counsell

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

3B Casey McGehee

CF Mike Cameron

RF Frank Catalanotto

C Jason Kendall

P Braden Looper

[bucks2281]

Wow, Looper.

[brewdude15]

Here we go again....at least it was quick this time.

[Funketown]

Nice. I'm starting to wonder if he can actually crack 40 dingers this year.

[TabbertBB]

Enough, time to go fishing.

[stalton]

This lineup is absolutely stacked in LA. Its a good thing Schmidt is pitching. This might have to be a slugfest

[pebadger]

I'm worried that this will be a blood-pressure game for me and then I won't be able to go to sleep tonight. The first isn't helping so far.

 

And while I'm certainly very biased, I don't know how any reasonable person can paint the Dodgers as victims in the dustup from last night and the aftermath. 'Nuf said on that.

[SeriesFinale]

Just a heads-up everyone, our very own LouisEly is very visible behind home plate tonight. Left side of the batter, second row, wearing a blue-ish Hawaiian Brewers jersey, blonde, kinda-stocky tall guy.

[foster1887]

Oh Kendall. You're infield grass power amazes me with a runner on 3rd and 1 out.

[derflotr]

Bashing Jason Kendall is so fashionable I usually don't do it, but seriously...this is getting hard.

[sauveb]

As bad as the starting pitching has been, I still think catcher is the position that we are weakest at.

[Funketown]

I wonder if he could knock one out in that charity softball game they have every year around the derby. He's got to have more power than Bobby Flay, right?

I wonder if Jason Kendall is ever embarrassed when he looks terrible at the plate and then Looper comes up and rips one.

[SeriesFinale]

Ahaha, good work, dlk9s

 

Alright, let's get this going--Prince GS?!?

[T B0NE 10]

Nice slide there Prince haha

[Schlitz001]

I almost don't care what happens the rest of the game. I love that Prince just stole a base off of Russell Martin.

I was hoping the next play would be a McGehee base hit with a play at the plate and Fielder flattening Martin a la the video game commercial.

[Vgmastr]

Someone tell BA that the ideal hit and run combo features someone at the plate that can actually get a hit.

[brewdude15]

Why did Looper go for that?

[badgerfletch]

Great work by Craig there, taking one for the team for sure

[Schlitz001]

Counsell makes me laugh. There was absolutely no effort on his part to get out of the way of that pitch. That's gritty.

[brewdude15]

Ughhh I thought that was gone. I also thought Craig slipped his hand on the back corner of the plate before Martin applied the tag. Oh well. A lead is a lead...we'll just see how long this one lasts though...

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Atta boy Brauny.

 

Without having a second look at the play at home, I'd tend to think Counsell went around the tag.

[badgerfletch]

Another questionable send there, with prince coming up, even though he would have been walked intentionally. After watching it again counsell was in easy, case of ump calling a guy out because the ball beat him
