2011-05-29 Giants (Cain) at Brewers (Gallardo) - [Brewers win, 6-0, go 8-1 on homestand]

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I hope Axford was just getting his throwing in.

 

Was thinking the same thing...let's not get carried away here RRR.

BREWERS WIN

[ilovebeer]

Love the 8-1 homestand now 5 game over .500 on to play the reds.

Great win, great homestand. Let's take this team on the road.

 

This is exactly how I envisioned this team this year.

[razzzorsharp]

A 3-3 roadtrip would be nice coming up.

Cards are winning and the reds play tonight at Atlanta hopfully they have a long game.

LaTroy's already amazing ERA gets even lower. Our bullpen sure will look nice when we get Saito back. Loe/Latroy/Saito/Ax Man at the end of games will be huge.

quick game at 2:25

Cory Hart has food poising from eating pork Friday night.

Don't forget Braddock, too.

In game Diamond trivia:

 

Guess the Brewer.

Clue 1: He led the majors with a 2.16 ERA in 2009.

Clue 2: He was drafted 6th overall in 2002 by the Kansas City Royals.

 

"Fan" answer: Uhm, Prince Fielder?"

 

Robin19 and JaDerHeyski: "?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Add to that hawing and one of my students who knows enough about baseball to know that guessing Prince when the question has anything to do with an ERA is flat out embarrassing. That contestant is lucky we were sitting in the stratosphere today, otherwise he'd have heard me booing.

 

So this was my first game in terrace reserved in about a decade, and I won't lie, it helped me remember how far we've come, location-wise, as season ticket holders since 2001. It's harder to keep one's mind on the game from the upper upper RF corner! But the price was right for my college student employees and we still had fun. And I'm so proud of my posse - they did not start the wave.

 

Now, Brewers, think you could keep up even half this pace on the road? Because that would be very helpful.

 

Edit: Should fortune smile upon us and the Brewers sweep the Reds this next series, Brandon Crawford owes all of us some George Webb.

It sucks that Kotsay is ruining a great song with his walk-up music for me.

What is it now? I noticed his song changed, but could not identify the new tune.

The Cave, Mumford & Sons. Apparently Mark keeps in tune with the hipster movement

As he answered, I turned to my wife and said, "Someone will post this on the game thread." We both figured it would be Hawing. Props to Robin19 for beating her to the punch.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'd like to point out that Robin19 has internet access much closer to Milwaukee than I have - a clear advantage. Plus he has the BrewBerry.
