[The Truth]

Bases loaded for Braun in a "mini-slump". Time for the Slump Buster

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Based loaded, no out. 3-4-5 hitters up. Time to stick the knife in.

[theavrock]

Come on Braun. Take a pitch

[Oldcity]

This is gross.

[DocLuna7]

Man, Uecker's call had me excited for a minute on the line drive hit by Prince.

[Tailgat0r76]

Pathetic. Please make Edwin pay Casey!

[stoutdude04]

Yep...line drive outs are a bummer

[jjfanec]

were either of those balls hit hard

[dlk9s]

Well, that was no good. And Marcum is gimpy, too.

[brettac1]

What an absolute disaster.

[DocLuna7]

Oh man. Momentum killer.

[Oldcity]

I'm really tired of blowing bases loaded nobody out opportunities against the Cardinals.

[markedman5]

wow

[stoutdude04]

Wow...what an absolutly ugly ending to that inning....just ridiculous.

[theavrock]

Wow. So much fail there. I don't even know what to sya

[DocLuna7]

Am worried about Marcum's gimpiness now.

[Mr QL]

seriously?

[Menotti80]

Screw this game

[theavrock]

were either of those balls hit hard

Not really. They were both broken bats.

[Oldcity]

How unathletic did that look? Hope he's not hurt that bad...

[Ayt]

Aytumious, that's like saying a win by a quarterback who threw three picks in the first quarter is more impressive... it was his fault in the first place for giving up walks, just as it would be his fault for giving up a hit. With that logic Claudio Vargas should have won Cy Young.

But an interesting way of looking at it. I do still think a 3-hit CG is more impressive and dominant.

All I'm saying is that logically you would think it would be more difficult to actually finish with a no hitter under the conditions Jackson was in regardless if it was his fault.

It is quite impressive in a bizarro way. I wasn't making any statement about the dominance of his performance.

[theavrock]

The gimpiness just looked like a cramp. He bent down to stretch it out.

[dlk9s]

were either of those balls hit hard

I didn't see Braun's, but Fielder hit the crap out of the ball.

[stoutdude04]

were either of those balls hit hard

Fielders was....Brauns was a broken bat that with 6 more inches would have cleared the bases down the 3b line.
