[pebadger]

THat's a freakin' bomb.

[MillerBombers]

Protect that! Nice shot Rickie.

[DocLuna7]

Can we please get a run?

Thanks Rickie!

[jason21nl]

wow! that ball was smoked!

[markedman5]

THAT A BOY RICKIE!!!

[davemakovec]

Rickie Weeks! Get up, get up, get out of heeeeere...... (pause, pause) GONE!

[ilovebeer]

RICKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mastershake76]

BLEEPING A that was awesome!

[Hofbraunhaus]

Was I the only person who thought that was caught at first? Come on Axeman!!!!!

[PrinceEatMeat]

YES! That's why Rickie is hitting 5th!

[pastoradub]

Please close it out Axford with no drama, please!

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Let's do this Rickie...

Hell yeah!!!!!!

I honestly thought Fowler caught the ball.

[hurricanecrush]

Nope

[owbc]

Fowler made a nice attempt but it disappeared into the pine tree.

 

K-Rod might get the win in his Brewer debut, that would be awesome. Hold the lead this time!!!

[thablingster]

Rickie hits the ball hard, things just keep getting in the way. This time, it was a tree.

[Mase]

If Saito was avaiable he should have pitched in the 7th.

 

If Braun is out - should Rickie now hit 3rd?

[yoyo49]

what a big big home run

[bucksman4]

K-Rod with the W...Ax Man with the save.

 

How beautiful can this be...talk about appeasing both "closers."

 

Let's do this, John!

[mastershake76]

Please, Ax, don't get butterflies now. I'm scared of a shaky outing or two in the wake of the K-Rod deal, but when it comes to Brewers pitching, I love to be wrong.

[pebadger]

Debby Downer says: Last time Braun got hurt we had the same sort of outcome. Then Braun was gone for 8 games and still came back too early.

[owbc]

If Braun is out - should Rickie now hit 3rd?

Maybe Fielder 3rd, Rickie 4th?

[Hofbraunhaus]

If Braun is out - should Rickie now hit 3rd?

Maybe Fielder 3rd, Rickie 4th?

This lineup does make me think about next year a bit. Will Rickie move out of the lead off spot permanently when Fielder is gone?

[owbc]

Yuni with his best Tulo impression...not bad.

[mastershake76]

i hate drama

[bucksman4]

Maybe Fielder 3rd, Rickie 4th?

I think it's a foregone conclusion. We will need the pop and run production to come from somewhere. Might as well put a guy who's proven he can produce in that key spot.
