If you have been paying attention the last few years, you know we'll sweep the pirates simply to help the cardinals... anything to help them! Not sure why that's our team motto ugh

[torts]

passed on tickets for tonight, going tomorrow instead. i love PNC Park, such a great atmosphere for baseball!

[jjgott]

Well that was a bummer from Aoki

[logan82]

I never really paid all that much attention before but PNC Park definitely has a much better CF camera angle than Miller Park does.

[The stache]

Looks like Fiers has rebounded nicely from a couple off starts.

[The stache]

Braun beefing up on his walk stat tonight.

[The stache]

A Ram plates 3!!!

[hawing]

And that four-spot inning wouldn't have happened if TEHFIERS hadn't finally battled his way to his first MLB hit.

[jjgott]

I wonder where this one's gonna go?

[AZBrewCrew]

Where have I seen this show before?

[Bigblast]

I realize Ron is trying to get Axford right. But is this really helping him, its obvious Ax has no control over where his pitches are going.

[AZBrewCrew]

At least Loe has been "somewhat" consistent lately*

 

*I may be eating crow after this inning

[The stache]

Every game is a nail-biter with Axford.

[phnxcrew]

that john axford.... so hot right now

[The stache]

Axford gives up two walks, two hits and two runs and gets credited with a hold.

Out at the local HS football game last night, I won the pool on predicting the final score once the Brewers got the 6-2 lead in the 7th. Out of 5 guys I was only the second-most optimistic.

[AZBrewCrew]

I didnt see an IGT started for todays game, but Marcum looked good his first couple innings today but has been getting hit pretty hard now in the 5th. Granted the errors by Gomez and Bianchi havent helped.
