2010-04-24 Cubs (Lilly) at Brewers (Davis), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-1]

[owbc]

The key to tonight is working the pitch counts and getting to the Cubs' bullpen by the 5th or 6th.

[Gobias Industries]

Good take by Fielder. That was a ball.

If anyone has the MLB iphone/ipod app, the FSN feed for tonight's game is free.

[GormanHarvey]

Again...wow Rickie!!

[cnycerveceros]

I actually have to pretty much ignore these games.

I'm with you 100%. The less exposure I get to Brewers-Cubs games, the more mentally healthy I feel.

I live in the northeast, but at work I've got 2 Cubs fans who make sure to stop in and taunt me before and after these games. My brother lives in Chicago, so he's got it worse than me.

[Buckylovesbeer]

I agree that Prince was called out on a ball. Bob Brenley is his usual terrible self.......

[Schlitz001]

That's the Doug Davis we know and love.

[logan82]

I still remember a game last year(or the previous year) where Lee was called out on strikes and Brenley repeatedly said is was a ball even after the replay showed the ball clearly above the knees and over the plate. He went on and on and on and on about how Lee got a raw deal. I don't know if I could stand having somebody who was that much of a homer announcing the games for our own team and I prefer my announcers to be a little homerish.

[jjkoestler]

DD will be the death of me. Bases chucked, 3-0 count, and he ends up striking Nady out.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Come on Gomez.....steal second, score on a Braun hit.......come on baseball gods........ Damn!

[dlk9s]

Here's the wonderful strike zone on Prince's first AB (2 & 6 were called strikes):

DD with good results so far. Also, the dink and dunkers aren't getting him like his previous start. Then again the BA against him couldn't possibly stay that high (knock on wood).

[Gobias Industries]

Gomez could walk every plate appearance if he didn't swing. what an idiot.

[wOOgiE22]

Maybe Gomez should try to take a strike in that situation?? It would have been 3-0 had he not swung at that junk in the dirt

[Vgmastr]

Ugh, Gomez should have a permanent red light on 2-0, especially when there are two runners on, two out, and Braun on deck.

[endaround]

Weeks' popup really wasn't a pop up, it took forever to come down

Really can't believe they let Davis hit but then again the only RH bat is Zaun...

[Vgmastr]

Good lord, Hart looks like a baby learning to walk out there.

[PeaveyFury]

Hart sure played the heck out of that one.

[razzzorsharp]

What a shot by Aramis.

[Gobias Industries]

I was gonna jokingly ask how Hart misplayed that one since i'm watching the bucks game. Bad read? Lose it in the lights?

[cnycerveceros]

I have it on in the other room, not watching, and I got fooled by the cheers that something good had happened for the Brewers when that last Cubs run scored. I'm just going to go to bed and hope I read about a come from behind win in the morning.

[bylo tesi me]

Hart was running tword the wall and put his glove hand up to protect himself from the impact instead of attempting a catch. It bounced off the wall a foot away from him.

[Invader3K]

Good showing by Davis today. Brewers need to get him some runs. Should be in line for the win.

[Gobias Industries]

thanks bylo

[Ennder]

Sending Davis back out here is just silly. He has a good confidence building outing and is over 100 pitches.
