Diego and Kottaras in the lineup today:

 

Weeks 4

Hart 9

Fielder 3

Braun 7

McGehee 5

Edmonds 8

Escobar 6

Kottaras 2

Wolf 1

 

Lofty goals for today: 1) score a run, 2) avoid the sweep.

[hawing]

thablingster, I know the Reds' announcers' comments on Wednesday were amusing, but that signature of yours is bad mojo, and the Brewers are manufacturing enough of their own already.

 

But otherwise I agree with your rock bottom goal of scoring a danged run. Come on, Brewers.

[thablingster]

I'll make you a deal, hawing. If we get shut out again today I will change my signature. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Mr QL]

Maybe we'll score a run today.

[Schlitz001]

Nice play by Escobar with the Jeter style jump throw and it wasn't even close at first.

[hawing]

I'll make you a deal, hawing. If we get shut out again today I will change my signature. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Win-win.

 

Seriously, do we have to lower our expectations further to "don't get no-hit by Wesley Wright"?

[Funketown]

That was a beautiful play by Escobar. He has shown flashes of brilliance at short, and I'm still holding out hope that he can bring a bit more consistency.

[stalton]

Do my eyes deceive me?

[brucrustu]

No you see right. those are grown up boy scouts

I'm in the chat room after failing for a couple days. If anyone is motivated, it might work now.

[thablingster]

That's some bad luck there. Wolf was pitching well and gets pegged right in his wrist. Lets go, Loe.

[crewcrazy]

I'll agree with Jordan Schelling here:

 

This inning is not unlike the #Brewers season as a whole. Just when things are going right, they go wrong, and fast.

[thablingster]

I'd say unbelievable, but something like this has happened to us enough this year it has become believable. Sigh.

[crewcrazy]

Worst part is that the grand slam would've been a flyout at just about any other park. I really hate those cheap LF home runs in Houston.

[Sage]

I'll agree with Jordan Schelling here:

I don't think it's possible to say it any better than Schelling did right there.

This series is embarrassing, and so is this team. :facepalm:

[Invader3K]

Another day, another loss for the Crew. Glad we decided to stay in contention and not make any trades.

 

Seriously though, I hope Wolf isn't badly hurt. We need at least someone halfway decent pitching the rest of the year, other than Gallardo.

[owbc]

The Brewers now have the same playoff odds as Houston--statistical elimination and less a than 0.1% chance.

[Invader3K]

Sounds like Wolf just has a bad bruise. X-rays came back negative. So I guess that's a sort of silver lining right now.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Not really... the more games we lose... the better our draft picks next June

[hawing]

I know some of the bad this year is talent-related, but some of it is just plain breathtakingly bad luck. Man.
