2012-05-11 Cubs (Garza) at Brewers (Wolf), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-7, 13 innings]

[owbc]

Considering that the middle of the order is coming up and the Cubs' awful bullpen, the Brewers probably have about a 50/50 shot at winning this game.

 

Edit: Make that about a 25% chance...

[The stache]

Wow, Josh Hamilton with two more home runs tonight. .410 AVG, 17 HR and 40 RBI in 31 games. .462 OBP and a .840 SLG. That's a 1.342 OPS. That's insane.

 

What I would give to have him in Milwaukee.

[cnycerveceros]

Other teams get the hits. We never get the hits. Yes, I know that's not true that we NEVER get the hits. But, jeez, we never get the hits. They always get the hits. I'm losing it. I've lost it. Goodnight.

 

Edit: Oh, cool, Dillard.

[The stache]

Of course.

[jason21nl]

Ax blowing the save is bad enough, HOWEVER the screaming fat chick is making it so much worse.

 

I have no idea if the chick is actually fat, but with a screech like that, she has to be.

[valpocrewsader]

This is all on you, Ramirez ... You defensive bum. You don't belong here. Go back to Chicago, or somewhere else where losers play. Elderly, expensive crapmaster. Thanks aton.

[Wiscollector]

Seems like Axford is really struggling to find the strike zone this year

[pebadger]

Well, I was wrong, but I knew he wasn't hitting it hard anywhere.

 

At this point I'm more interested in what happens in the aggregate over the next few weeks than any specific game. I just want to see if this team is going to have enough fight to keep this from becoming a completely unsalvageable disaster.

[phnxcrew]

I've been trying to pay attention to this team with one eye closed so far this season and a hand over the other but man things look desperate. If the bullpen doesn't get right quickly, start dealing and start the vent thread up.

[DHonks]

Ramirez with a nice play on that one, and an adequate throw. Al would call that a hit, not an error. And with Fielder at 1st the throw would have gone in the dugout. I blame the inning more on Lucroy's inability to block pitches and keep them close IN that inning. Throw in a bunch of nickle-and-dimed hits, and a typical Cubs-Brewers finish.

[The stache]

How to stop the Brewers offense: walk Braun, walk the catcher...disco.

[jason21nl]

I wouldn't say he made a nice play. Looked like he had bad footwork, fell down, then threw way wide. He had time to make a much better throw.

[TURBO]

What does RR look like when he is "unhappy" Rock...

 

I doubt anyone is too afraid when RR is unhappy.

[xisxisxis]

i hate this ****** team

[owbc]

At least we get two shots to tie the game.

[DHonks]

time for hart to hit into the 6-4-3. maybe the shift will prevent the gidp

[TURBO]

Does Hart count as a shot?

[The stache]

To come back from down 4-1 and take the lead back... only to see the bullpen blow it again. I'm angry beyond words.

[TURBO]

There is not one guy in our bullpen who I trust. It sucks.

[TURBO]

TIE GAME!

[owbc]

LOL!!!! Unbelievable.

[cnycerveceros]

Son of a!

[The stache]

Corey Hart 2 run bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're tied up!!!!!!

[ELCABALLO45]
