2012-09-27 Brewers (Peralta) at Reds (Latos), 11:35 AM CDT [Brewers lose, 2-1]

[Mudville9]

I'm taking full responsibility for this loss. I just turned into Gameday with the Votto strikeout and said "Nice Ax, now don't give up a homerun." Drat!

[GamelToe]

cannot wait to see what the Ax has to bring for the 9th.

Fitting way for the season to go down in flames.

----ing Axford.

 

Ax was dealing. At some point you tip the cap. He just can't let that one hit beat him.

 

Just frustrated.

I know. I felt the same way.

Throw a slider

[wisniewski]

Ax is rattled.

[dlk9s]

Man, I'm following on Gameday while doing work and saw that Ax got the first two outs. The next time I looked, he gave up a single. I didn't realize until a couple minutes later that there was a homer in between.

season bye............

[wisniewski]

Over.

[pretendastronaut]

Well then...

[pebadger]

Gut punch. Absolute gut punch.

[topper09er]

Well now that is the whole season narrowed down to one game

[torts]

holy crap i love john axford

[Bigblast]

and thats your Season nail in the coffin.

[owbc]

I think most of us figured that the bullpen would find a way to finish off this season in one way or another.

[topper09er]

Also Aoki needs to dive for that come on you idiot the runner was going on the pitch, if you dont catch it game is over

[DuWayne Steurer]

I realize that Navarro is just a backup catcher, but did Ax need to tempt it by throwing meatball after meatball?

 

I guess Axford blowing a save is really a fitting way for the last gasp hope of this team to be shattered, isn't it?

[sargennm]

Ain't that the truth. Valiant comeback to the season. Hope Jim Henderson is "closer" material. Would hate to go into next year counting on Ax after this.

[fondybrewfan]

That sucked on a pretty good level. I guess Corey not getting the run in turned out to be pretty darn important

[moofnelson]

Oh well. Fitting end to the pennant chase, isn't it? Another blown save by Axford. Should be a good team next year if they figure how to close out games.

Really frustrating. So so frustrating.

 

I get the fact the stars were going to have to align just right for the Brewers to make the postseason, but that still doesn't take any sting away from today.

YEAH, IDIOT. I HOPE YOUR TRANSLATOR READS THIS TO YOU

[markedman5]

Tight bicep for Peralta.....not elbow which is good

[Bigblast]

IM glad I only went with the plan B post season option. The brewers won't be siting on a huge chunk of my money for 2 months.
