[Ralph Wiggum]

I don't think Geoff could be more on fire right now.

[AJAY]

Let's go J.J. !!

[markwitx]

bases loaded for JJhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif

[Harold Hutchison]

Benson is a coward - intentionally walking Branyan.

 

MAKE HIM PAY, JJ!!!

 

EDIT:

 

UGH! Bad enough to pop out on the first pitch... but when it means cowardice pays off, it's even worse.

[Ralph Wiggum]

blech...

 

 

Patience, J.J., patience is a virtue

[JenksFan5]

Good inning boys. Three runs across even with three LOB. Now it is time for Davis to hopefully settle in and just throw strikes.

[markwitx]

kkk

[markwitx]

KKKK

[Harold Hutchison]

Darn gopher balls...

[Ralph Wiggum]

Ouch.

 

Why couldn't Beltran get hot tomorrow?

[H0FFY]

According to my sportsline, Doug just hit four corners and go no calls. Darn. C'mon Mr Davis. Let us bat again.

[bucksman4]

Davis easily has the worst command of any pitcher I've ever seen in my life. It's as if he's scared to throw a strike. I would laugh if Piazza took him yard here. It'll stick it to him for walking 4 batters already in the third inning.

[JenksFan5]

Davis appeared to be settling down, but now is back to throwing balls and getting behind hitters. C'mon Doug. Throw strikes!!

[JenksFan5]

Darn it!!!

Since I'm making predictions today, I'm going to say that this is the game that Davis gets his elusive 10th win in, dropping his ERA under 4 for the first time in a few months.

Well, there goes that idea. Stupid Pizza

[bucksman4]

I'm laughing....haha.....I'm sorry to say this to you Davis lovers but he is NO #2 pitcher in the major leagues. Sorry.

[Ando Calrissian]

why is it that our pitchers are completely incapable of protecting a lead. ugh. why do i even bother to listen to the stinkin' games?

[jvrocksaz]

Doug, if you never win your tenth game this year, this is the reason why...

 

See lead come, see lead go...

[stkmtimo]

Well, Piazza did just that. Give me a BREAK!

 

In other news, Felix Hernandez is struggling against the Tigers in his MLB Debut. Bases juiced and no outs.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

jinx!

 

Booo!

[H0FFY]

Oh goodie, I can now post my favourite line...

 

we have outhit the opposition by more than 100% and we are not in front.

 

Just once I want a winning laugher.... not do all we can to play 1 run games.... this is tough on us.

[bsglorydays]

Typical lately...

The Brewers stake their pitcher out to a big lead, only to see the pitcher come back out and give up runs (usually including at least one walk that ends up scoring).

Yes, he is, as evidenced by his high strikeout totals and pretty decent ERA, but when he walks a lot of guys, he signals his downfall. A good case in point is this game.

[packfan79]

Wow this team SUCKS at holding the lead...
