That lineup makes me happy. In my pants.

[topper09er]

There is your 2013 opening day lineup with Yo in for Fiers

[fondybrewfan]

I can't believe that the Crew really doesn't have one single black hole in there lineup. For as long as I can remember there has been atleast one and usually two positions that just suck. In the case of 2004 I think there were about 7. Not the case anymore.

 

Hopefully Hart can help the team; you don't him playing just for the sake of playing. He better be able to move effectively at 1st.

[owbc]

Houston scored 2 runs already today!!!!

 

Edit: tied at 3!

[topper09er]

Houston ties it after 2 1/2 inning

[brwrsfan]

Houston will blow it, I just have no faith in them winning.

 

They've held Hart out this entire time, I have to believe he's pretty healthy or they wouldn't put him out there. That being said, he hasn't seen live action in like 11 days, so he may be rusty.

They'll have the Cardinals sweep them and then beat us 2 out of 3 to eliminate us.

[brwrsfan]

I'm just hoping Houston can somehow take 2 of their remaining 4 games against the Cardinals. Though I'd really probably be happy with just 1. The Astros are just so terrible. we just gotta keep winning our own games.

[rluzinski]

Rooting for Houston not to suck reminds me how painful it was to have to root for those terrible Brewer teams of the early 2000's. Just pathetic.

[brwrsfan]

Yeah, Houston is just flat out horrible. They ground into a DP with 1 out and men at the corners in the top half. Then walk the two guys in front of Beltran with 1 out in the bottom half and he promptly doubles them both home. About what we expected, I was just hoping the Astors could win a game.

 

Makes today's game even more important to keep pace.

[owbc]

At least the 'stros got one back, now 5-4 Cardinals with 2 on, 1 out. The Brewers could really, really use a Cards loss today. If the Cards keep up this pace, the Brewers would almost have to win out to catch them.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Bases loaded...c'mon you stinky 'stros!!!

That lineup makes me happy. In my pants.

God, they are terrible. Ugggggh.

[topper09er]

Houston, there is a huge problem. Dont GIDP with the bases loaded down by 1

[owbc]

So how many steals will the Brewers get today?

You know that quote about how Michael Jordan plays basketball better than anyone does anything or something along those lines, well you sir are in that same club with respect to GIF ability

[brwrsfan]

So in this game...bases loaded first inning 1 out...K. Walk in a run, then an out.

 

6th inning...first and third, 1 out, double play

7th inning...bases loaded, 1 out, double play

 

Way to hit those sac flies Houston, awesome.

 

Glad to see we're back to running wild today too!

[owbc]

At least the Brewers game is going well so far. 3-0 with that Ramirez bomb.

[topper09er]

We OWN these guys, their 5 diehard fans must hate us

[fondybrewfan]

And boom goes the dynamite. I love that guy.

[owbc]

That was about a foot from making it 5-0. Nice work by the offense already today.

[AZBrewCrew]

A--Ram!
