2010-05-29 Mets (Nieve) at Brewers (Parra), 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-6]

[trwi7]

For as good as the home plate umpire's strike zone was last night. The guy tonight has been terrible.

[tigerbrew]

This inning should be over 2 batters ago, Estrada getting killed by the defense.

[thablingster]

Halladay got it. In other news, what was up with them making Coffey change gloves?

[trwi7]

Halladay throws a perfect game.

[thablingster]

Nice use of Coffey by Macha there. That was a pretty high leverage situation and it appears that Macha has faith in Axford and Braddock to pitch in the later innings, which is good.

[thablingster]

GoGo! Nice job. That kid can fly.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Coffey had to change gloves due to the color....new rule this year in baseball, umps decision. They got the inside scoop on the radio apparently

[razzzorsharp]

My wife just asked who the Bears were. I explained that there was a Milwaukee Bears team in the Negro League. Her next question, "Do only black players wear the uniform then?" My response was a head shake.

[hawing]

Weren't the Bears in existence only briefly? I wonder how the Brewers have been able to (accurately) use both the white + black pinstripe and the blue/cream uniforms to honor them.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Thats funny

[crewcrazy]

Some insurance runs would sure be nice. I don't feel like finding out if Trevor Hoffman's returning to the closer role on a night where the Mets are hitting everything.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Ugh, come on Casey. Got to get a better swing than that.

[Rhett16]

Okay, raise your hand if you predicted at the start of the year that after 2 months of the season Hart would be leading the league in home runs and McGehee would be leading the league in RBIs.

 

Anyone?

[pebadger]

If you predicted both of those, with Braun and Fielder both healthy throughout, and ALSO still had the Crew at 8 games under and 9 games back on Memorial Day weekend, that should win you a large sum of money.

[Funketown]

Okay, raise your hand if you predicted at the start of the year that after 2 months of the season Hart would be leading the league in home runs and McGehee would be leading the league in RBIs.

 

Anyone?

I'm pretty sure I predicted Hart would lead the league in HR's 2 months in a couple of posts after I predicted Hart had completely lost it and wouldn't OPS over .730 this year.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

[razzzorsharp]

Axford is pretty nasty when on.

[benji]

He's got the Rollie look tonight

[sauveb]

Nice win. In appreciation of already winning this series, I promise not to complain about anything during tomorrow's game.

[pebadger]

Beats the heck out of losing. String a few more of these together, get back to .500 by the end of June and maybe we'll have a nice summer yet.

[Rhett16]

4.1 innings of hitless relief to end the game. Why does it feel like I've died and gone to heaven?

 

On a serious note, why is there talk of letting Hoffman close again, Axford seems to get the job done pretty nicely.

[GameMisconduct]

The Stache is overwhelming batters.

[hawing]

Way to bend without breaking, Brewers! Please bring a good effort on Sunday. The Sunday Plus people love you too.

[stalton]

Great effort by the offense and the bullpen. Things are definitely looking great. I'll be going to the game and may or may not bring the broom.

[tigerbrew]

Nice win, hope they get a sweep tomorrow. Great job by the bullpen today, tough luck for Estrada though. Axford should absolutely remain as the closer.

[sheethead]

I may have been slightly wrong about Corey Hart this year. He's on arguably the best run of his career.
