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

Atta boy Brauny.

 

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

I thought to myself, "There's no way we get another safe call on a play where the throw beats the runner, even if he was really safe."

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Even in real time, I saw a swipe with no contact, Martin just looked like he reached and missed.

[dlk9s]

Yup, Counsell was safe.

[badgerfletch]

Well, Looper staked to another good lead here. Lets hope he can hold it this time.

[dlk9s]

Ha. BA was just running down the list of voting options for the text-in question, "Who is the best 1B in Brewers history?"

 

Choices are (W) George Scott, (X) Cecil Cooper, (Y) Richie Sexson, (Z) Prince Fielder.

 

BA, in reading the list, said, "...Cecil Cooper, and Y is Richie Sexson..." For a second, I thought he was going to say, "...and why is Richie Sexson on the list," which is what I was thinking.

[phxMILWfan]

Overbay is as deserving as Sexson... I guess who else would you have as the 4th player though? Jaha? Stubbs?

[badgerfletch]

Well the 4 mentioned have the most games played at first in brewers history, but they probably could have stopped at 3 on this one : )

[T B0NE 10]

Yeah, Prince has done everything Sexson ever did and hit for a much higher average.

[Schlitz001]

Had #0 Franklin Stubbs been included in that poll I might have been inclined to pick up my phone and vote for him.

This kid sucks.

[brewdude15]

Look at all those Dodger fans with their hats on during the National Anthem....how classy. If only we were playing in St. Louis...

 

Also, am I the only one that was rubbed the wrong way during that kid's performance? Especially that whole spiel after the word 'foam'.

 

It gave me awkward goosebumps.

 

EDIT:

 

This kid sucks.

 

Thank God I'm not the only one that thinks so...

[azcheesehead]

Nice shirt....was that for real? I want that 2:30 of my life back. Scratch that, the people laughing in the stands was great.

You don't really have to take your hat off for God Bless America. I know I never do. And that performance was really...awkward.

[brewdude15]

I just thought it was an "un-written rule." I mean, they don't announce "Gentlemen, please remove your caps" for nothing....it's just a form of showing respect I guess.

[brewdude15]

Oh great.

[hawing]

I just thought it was an "un-written rule." I mean, they don't announce "Gentlemen, please remove your caps" for nothing....it's just a form of showing respect I guess.

At Miller Park, they don't say anything about caps before God Bless America - only before the national anthem.

[dlk9s]

I know it hurts our chances of winning, but I'd love to see Man-Ram get beaned.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I guess my ignorance is due in part to not having been to a game in so long. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[bucks2281]

Yep. I don't take my hat off for God Bless America because it isn't the national anthem, and it's important to recognize the symbolic difference between the two songs. That's just me, I guess.

 

Good work from Coffey.

[brewdude15]

I know it hurts our chances of winning, but I'd love to see Man-Ram get beaned.

And have Coffey get immediately ejected and possibly suspended? With the incident yesterday, I'd want no part in that....at least for tonight.

 

On another note, thank goodness we got out of that.

[ClubLevel]

I remember that they let that coin company sponsor God Bless America last year. Kind of hard to ask people to remove their hats when you are getting $ from the song, lol.

Plus he looked like like borat with that shirt on.

I don't take my hat off either, pretty much for that exact reason, so you're not the only one.

[brewdude15]

That kid who sang reminds me of this little guy:

Here's another one that reminds me of that kid:
