2011-10-05 Brewers (Wolf) at Diamondbacks (Saunders) - [Brewers lose, 10-6; NLDS Tied 2-2]

[bucks2281]

Texas lost a 2-0 lead last year and still won the series.

 

It sounds like sour grapes, but the idea of a best-of-5 in baseball is just ridiculous. I'll save it for Friday, if we lose, I suppose.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Rickie you are absolutely killing me man. Get that timing down.

[Beast Light]

If the Brewers make the post season next year, I really hope they don't celebrate like they have won the World Series again.

Yeah there is no reason to celebrate when you win the first division championship in almost 30 years

Yes, finishing ahead of 5 other teams is a tremendous accomplishment. In my opinion, there is only one team that wins a championship each year. Not 6.

[jason21nl]

Weeks just can't come through at all. He is missing some very hittable pitches

[Mr QL]

weeks is absolutely terrible right now

 

would rather have Counsell out there

[mastershake76]

Rickie did not bring it.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Ughh. Rickie is just off. Good pitch to hit, nothing to show.

[a3uge]

Morgan batting 2nd, Hariston in the 5th spot?

[markedman5]

Rickie has really hurt us in this series

[Fear The Chorizo]

0-9 with RISP so far tonight...

[B2k1121]

So sick of all the pop ups

[SeriesFinale]

There's still four innings to make up 4 (if we can hold, big if it seems), but that was rather deflating, I must admit.

[Weeks4MVP]

Anyone else think Hairston should be in the 5 spot on Friday?

I think someone needs a nap.

[Mr QL]

Richie needs to step his game up

[nate82]

Rickie needs to be taken out of the 5 hole. He is hitting worse than McGehee right now uggg.

[owbc]

weeks is absolutely terrible right now

 

would rather have Counsell out there

LOL, I hope you are not serious. But at least the D'backs fans wouldn't boo Counsell.

[Schlitz001]

I can't believe this game is only 4 1/2 innings in right now.

[Beast Light]

Well losing a 2-0 lead is far from choking boy and people jumped on me all the time for being negative. wow Kennedy is a good pitcher but to say you don't want to face him is unreal. The bottom line both teams held serve and now it all on the Brewers to prove they can get it done and prove they have what needed to get to the WS.

When you have a 2-0 lead and his next start is scheduled for game 5 ..you absolutely don't want to have to face him again.

 

 

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

I'd be OK with this. Usually you'd want someone with a little more pop, but there's really no one else. Rickie just isn't getting it done, and JHJ has looked pretty darn good. Bump Rickie to six or seven.

[jason21nl]

The zone has opened up big time

[Raw Biz]

Other than Rickie's huge blast last week, he hasn't really done much since coming back. If there wasn't a lefty tonight, I would've started Green and Hairston. I would definitely do that now Friday.

It's just my opinion and I'm certainly not the only person that has it. Winning the division is a great thing but mostly because it gives you a shot to win an actual championship.

Unfortunately there are only so many guys we can hide in the 7 hole

[theavrock]

oh thats what a 1-2-3 inning looks like.
