So...Shaun, you should be the least tired of the whole roster. Please consider a longish quality start today. Thanks.

[Vgmastr]

Daron Sutton & Bob Brenly, yay

[dlk9s]

Daron Sutton & Bob Brenly, yay

 

That's like the worst combo Brewers fans could ever have to listen to.

[Raw Biz]

There should be no reason whatsoever that Maysonet is starting over Green and Conrad both. Start him over Izturis if you want but no way should both of them be playing. Those 6-8 hitters could be the worst in Brewers history.

[dlk9s]

ALL HAIL THE MAYSONET ERA

[Dmiles23]

Daron Sutton & Bob Brenly, yay

 

I can put up with most commentators... but I can not stand Bob Brenly and will not listen to him. I'd rather have no audio than listen to him. But I've resorted to the radio, even though it's about 10 seconds ahead of the game.

[dlk9s]

I was about to complain that the Brewers should have known that bunt was coming, but after watching the replay, I realized they did expect it and it was just a great bunt.

[GormanHarvey]

That works...good pitch and good turn Edwin

[jjkoestler]

Maysonet over Green?

Yeah, that was a great turn. Not thrilled about a run scoring, obviously, but I'll take it.

[GormanHarvey]

Attaboy Nyjer! Let's hang a big number in the 1st

[GormanHarvey]

That's a good AB right there Luuuc

[ninja33]

is that nyjer's first extra base hit this season?

 

yes, yes it was. thanks fox

[GormanHarvey]

What the...?

[AZBrewCrew]

So I wonder when the teams will be warned about the bean balls..

[jjfanec]

Horrible at bat Ramirez

[jjfanec]

Haha. Interesting way to get a run

[GormanHarvey]

How do you just let Nyjer score there Haha!

 

How much bitterness do you think we will here from Sutton today towards the Crew? Get over it dude

[pebadger]

I've seen 12and under teams work that rundown situation better. Thanks, Cubs!

[igor67]

It's always nice when other teams botch fundamentals, what a horrible run down

[dlk9s]

Wow! I seriously wonder if Braun got picked off on purpose.

[AZBrewCrew]

And theres the warnings.

[bensheeps]

Only surprised it was Soriano instead of waiting for Castro to come up later.

[Raw Biz]

I like the retaliation but would have preferred it with two outs. Don't like putting the leadoff runner on.
