Let's hope Lackey has something to kick off about. The Crew needs to outpitch him and hit his pitches very hard.

For those still holding out division hope, it's basically last call, and its sweep or bow out.

"Brewers have not been good offensively as of late." - Bill.

 

He's right, if he considers "as of late" to be roughly the All-Star Break.

 

Atta boy, Thames!

[topper09er]

OMG. A Brewer waited back and threw his hands at the ball with 2 strikes.

[yfinn6]

Tired of hearing about Walker's lip.

[yfinn6]

Had a feeling Braun was going deep in that at bat.

[topper09er]

Eat it Lackey

[Boomer5]

Way to go Ryan!

[pacopete4]

Number 300 came at a great time. Pound these idiots.

[topper09er]

Nice to get an early lead. Also the Cubs are trailing right now too

[SomewhereInTime]

Was wondering if all the Georgia fans in attendance would be on our side, but I guess not.

 

Anyways Go Brewers and Go Irish!

[markedman5]

Jimmy with the nasty slider going early.......my goodness

[liveforoctober]

It has been a minute since we have seen the first inning offense. Here is to hoping

Actually it started in June and has continued to get worse from there.

I can tell you this...for the shenanigans the Cubs pulled moving this to a night game for competitive reasons..If i'm on the mound, I'm dotting someone, preferably Rizzo, since he stands on top of the plate anyway.

And then they drill Nelson. Not a great idea.

[markedman5]

Hope 2 runs is enough.........

[yfinn6]

Hope Jimmy is OK there.

[pacopete4]

It amazes me how terrible of athletes most pitchers are. Holy Jimmy Nelson. Act as if you've ever ran bases before.

[markedman5]

Voigt's throwing is painful to watch

[markedman5]

Thank god for the wind

[jason21nl]

Holy lucky there!

[pacopete4]

Like Brian said, each ball hit out there just makes Brauns homer look that much better.

[markedman5]

Oh oh
