Had to win it twice.......no problem.....sometimes its just your year.......wow.

Everyone contributes. Fielder, Braun and Yuni with homers. Casey with the big two RBI hit. Kotsay, Luc, and Morgan draw big walks - nice job from the bench today!

[jvrocksaz]

I am so glad I did not give up on this one (although I admit that I was VERY close)!!!

[DocLuna7]

And another series win to boot.

Reminiscent of Coco blowing it back in Texas in '07

 

First thing I thought of as well. While getting lit up by his old team hurts, he should have been out of the inning & he is a little rusty from the leg tightness so no reason to panic. Pretty ugly for the D & RR there at the end...this team is something special to pick them up with the comeback. Thank goodness for Izzy & an unreal poke off the shoelaces by Prince. After all those low run wins, nice to see them pick up the D & pitchers for once. I hope RR is a little sharper on the substitutions if/when we are in the postseason. My guess is he will be without any looming DHers to worry about, but I also have my doubts.

The Brewers have the largest lead in any division in baseball.

Tim Allen is cracking me up right now with this '70s SWAT team theme song

I don't know what to think about this one. The pitching staff finally hits a bump in the road but they still get a win. Hopefully this one gets the offense confident and rolling.

This is way too small a sample to say for sure, but if these Brewers can slay the FOX curse, they might be the best ever.

Now we can finally get some supper!

Go back and read this thread from start to finish, it's pretty funny how quickly people abandoned the Brewer's hopes of winning after they start losing by 1 run!

Sad/Happy I didn't get to watch this game. Woah.

Go back and read this thread from start to finish, it's pretty funny how quickly people abandoned the Brewer's hopes of winning after they start losing by 1 run!

Not to pile on unduly, because the important thing is the win; but this is part of the reason why I edited the IGT title to specify the 9th inning 4-spot.

 

Wow, Brewers. Just wow.

[sdcheezhd]

The odds of winning after Pagan's HR were about 20-1 so you can't blame folks for losing faith.

 

On the other hand, Hey look the Brewers are batting. I guess they haven't lost yet. is one of the lines of the year.

[Funketown]

I had to stop watching to finish dinner (and to avoid throwing something at the TV). This team is awesome.

[Teatoe993]

Woah! What!? This year is just unbelievable. Whenever I think we go back to being the "same ol' Brewers" they pull off something like this.

[owbc]

I had to leave when it was 7-6. I honestly wasn't worried and just figured K-Rod and Axford would close it out. When I looked up the final score I just assumed the Brewers took an 11-6 lead in the 8th and then brought in Dillard or someone to give up a few garbage time runs. Crazy game and it is good entertainment reading the reactions in the IGT. Kudos to those that stuck with it until the end, you never know with this team.

Did the people who said the game was over stop watching?

I did, but I had extenuating circumstances. I told my mom I would be over to her house around 4 or 5. After the K-Rod HR (around 6) I decided I better get going. I turned off the TV, put a CD in the car, and drove to my Mom's. I got there around 7. She asked me how I liked the game. She was shocked by my answer. I didn't believe her when she said we had won. This has been a special year for the Brewers.

I was the opposite of some people in this thread. I turned it off when the Brewers were WINNING. My family is visiting, so we went out for a healthy dinner at The Varsity in Atlanta when we were up 7-1. As we waiting for our order, we lost the lead. Watched the play-by-play during the comeback/end of game on my dad's phone as we ate.

[brewmann04]

I was tick off when they blew the lead and really got made when RR did not put in Morgan for defense. But i really think there is something Magical about this team and i will really never quit on any more brewer game this season.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I did not stop watching, but I was pissed when they blew the 6 run lead. I know these things are bound to happen over a 162 game season, but that doesn't mean I won't be pissed when they do.

 

Having a 7 1/2 game division lead and blowing a 6 run lead is like getting socks for Christmas. I know I shouldn't be disappointed, but I am none the less.
