2011-06-15 Brewers (Narveson) at Cubs (Zambrano) - [Brewers win, 9-5]

is it too much to ask for a reliever to come in and not spot the batter a 2-0 count?

[mastershake76]

Never met Reed Johnson, but I'm pretty sure I hate him.

[Oldcity]

This is so much more anxious watching online.

oh oh its looks like we might have the bad Ax tonight.

[Oldcity]

That's more like it.

until that last batter

pretty good sign that although the Brewers are vastly improved of late, they are not quite "there yet": I'll bet Red Sox fans don't get a lump in their throats with a 4-run lead in the 9th.

Not worried till two get on.

Again, the arbitrariness of the MLB Live Look-In is frustrating. I saw Ax cut down Baker on a beautiful offspeed pitch, and the Look-In cuts out.

 

Just need one more, Ax. Let's go.

Ever since he slid into first causing Yovanni to hurt his knee.

In my mind a lot of this has to do with playing the Cubs. We seem to have a history of crazy finishes with them.

Throw. A. Freaking. Strike.

This looks to be shaping up like another one. Oy.

[jason21nl]

Thank you!

[davemakovec]

It's never cut and dried with the Cubs. Never.

 

Also, Axford's throwing gas. Pitch f/x has him reaching 96-97. "Strike three on a bender!"

[PrinceEatMeat]

There we go. Struck out the side!

[ttsather]

That last pitch was filthy.

[natronek8780]

Actually felt like Ax had some of his best stuff in awhile tonight... just got a little extra jacked up vs Ramirez. He took care of it though. Good to see the bats wake up for a needed win tonight.

[ilovebeer]

BREWERS WIN, THANK YOU.

[mastershake76]

Wow, what an incredibly lame AB by Fukudome. Thanks for that, budday!

[razzzorsharp]

Split it tomorrow, good game.

[stalton]

I don't think a single scrub hit the ball that 9th inning...what a game...what a win...good night nurse

[Raw Biz]

Well, this should have secured the series win but it's nice to get a win nonetheless.

[jjkoestler]

Really needed that W. I'd be thrilled with a series split. Go get em tomorrow ZG.

[valpocrewsader]

Lolz at fukudome giving Ax the freebie.

 

Great win, got to their starter, tacked on multiple times against their bullpen, decent outing from our #5. I'll take it.
