2009-09-05 Giants (Cain) at Brewers (Gallardo) : 3:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[hawing]

This one's on FOX, so I'll get to see at least the early innings before heading to Camp Randall. But I'd rather be at Miller Park.

 

The Brewers' lineup, per Facebook:

 

Lopez 2B

Catalanotto RF

Braun LF

Fielder 1B

McGehee 3B

Gerut CF

Hardy SS

Kendall C

Gallardo RHP

 

Adam McCalvy reports that Cameron is 3-for-27 vs. Matt Cain, which appears to support his day off today.

 

Gooooo home team!

[hawing]

Hey, Ryan, market yourself further by hitting the milestone dinger on FOX. Just a thought.

[saxyman1004]

I don't have this on fox, I have Red Sox and White Sox. So I'm apparently not allowed to watch my baseball team today. I get to watch big college teams play cupcakes. Great.

[sdcheezhd]

I thought we'd get the Giants in CA but it's Red Sox/White Sox too.

[hawing]

Stupid FOX. Stupid Sox. There's my rhyme for you, saxyman1004.

[saxyman1004]

And now I turned it back, and it's Brewers/Giants. What the hell? Well, I'm not going to question it.

[hawing]

Interesting. Well, Stupid FOX / Stupid Sox I'll then reserve for sdcheezhd.

[saxyman1004]

It was a good rhyme, though. You're an artiste.

[hawing]

Why, thank you. Now our houseguest is here, so I'll have to pay attention to college football for a while.

 

Go Brewers! I'd rather see a "rubber game" tomorrow than a "trying to avoid the sweep."

[logan82]

Gallardo is missing his spots pretty badly.

[jeffy]

Gallardo confusing Cain's face with Kendall's glove, apparently...must be the shadows http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Why throw a change up after he just hammered your curve? Sweet call kendall...

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

For a brief moment I was happy they were showing the Crew here in LA today. At least the town is with me today...they hate those Giants.

 

Yo looks worn out. Let's save that arm for next year.

[trwi7]

Karros was really getting on what pitches were being called last inning.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Prince is a beast. I am really surprised that anyone would ever throw to him unless they had too......what a season for the little big man

[trwi7]

Time to get Gallardo out again. Shut him down. 90 pitches with nobody out in the 5th.

[sdcheezhd]

Thanks hawing. Time to gear up for Bucky.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Anybody ever notice that Aaron Rowand looks like a bobble head? The guy has a huge dome and no shoulders......It has been bothering me for years.....

 

It is time to think about getting Yo out of there......and about time for somebody to start hitting!

[pete]

What's happened to Yo? I remember game after game of him hitting his spots.

[trwi7]

Ever since Melvin told Macha that he wanted them to run more, Macha has always picked the stupidest times and the worst players to run with. I wonder if he's doing that because he really doesn't want the Brewers to run and is doing that just to get back at Melvin for telling him to run more or if he's really that stupid and thinks the players and situations that he runs in are actually good times to try and steal.

[logan82]

The run game for us has been pretty bad all around. We either don't run much, but when we do, we are not very successful.

[Buckylovesbeer]

They cannot "hit and run" either. Especially with guys like Kendall and Hardy batting.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow...a manager who puts his closer in the highest leverage situation. Somebody gets it.

[pete]

Without throwing his bat ala Kendall, I'm not sure Hardy could have hit the ball.

[pete]

This feels like getting beat by a team that is a cross between fantasy camp and carnys.
