"Hall can't get to a flyball most CF get to."

 

If by most you mean Andruw Jones and Torii Hunter then yes.

[rluzinski]

3 groundballs and a bloops single.... then linbrink throws a ball to push the count to 3-1 and the fans start booing. Are Brewer fans the worst fans in the league or something? What the heck is going on?

"Are Brewer fans the worst fans in the league or something? What the heck is going on? "

 

Dunno....starting to wonder.

[billyhallfan]

how is this one Yost's fault? This sucks, I don't understand it, alright one more, come on Linebrink.

[billyhallfan]

i bet loretta beats us, he did with the glove.

[BowMeHunter]

Big sigh of relief.

[billyhallfan]

thank god, now as long as Turnbow and Cordero are on...

[owbc]

Linebrink should definitely be moved to the top level.

[pitchleague]

jeez, that sucked. Even with the lead remaining.

 

I know alot of you wonder about the booing. I'm not booing at home but I'm plenty frustrated about the luck we've had in the later innings of games.

[madjeff66]

Get out of it at 4-3. This inning was a classic example of the "players need to make plays" theory

[thablingster]

Ned is 1 for 1 with the bullpen advisory so far. Linebrink just had a rough inning, lol.

[phatmatt1215]

As usual, linebrink STINKS, but he got out of it.

[RyDogg66]

Maybe Im not a true fan, but if someone told me that they were from the future, and the Brewers definitely wont be in the playoffs this year, Id be rooting for them to blow every three run lead they get. It's gotten to the point that it is humorous.

[homer]

Are you Rickie Weeks' dad?

[TeeJayh1980]

I too was shocked by the boos. Shame shame!

[Vgmastr]

I'm really starting to dislike the infield shift. That ball by Lamb would have been an easy DP if the defense was playing normal positions. Instead, Hardy fields it on the right field side of second base, and the only play is to first.

Exactly. It's ridiculous. It pisses me off when the boo birds come out during situations like this.

[phatmatt1215]

LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY

[pitchleague]

wow! a lucky bounce that goes OUR way!

[billyhallfan]

that was an awesome bunt by Braun, I mean lucky, I've never seen that happen before.

 

prince is still due for a hr.

[Team Canada]

He homers, he bunts, he's the Amazing Braun!

 

 

Can someone describe that for the non-watchers?

[bobskube]

I predicted we would blow it yesterday.

 

today they will win, but it won't be easy.

[jjfanec]

ok lets see. Linebrink has one guy get on with an error. So it should be one out. Then he gets a ground out. That should be two. Then he gives up two weak hits, but hits nonetheless. Then he walks a guy. So the bases should be loaded with two outs. Then he gets what should be the third out when Lee grounds out. No runs should have crossed that inning

[valpocrewsader]

Brewers lead the league in blown leads and we're aghast that the fans get restless when the Brewers are in jeopardy of doing it again tonight ... what would be a back-to-back feat??

Agreed. My favorite guy Weeks had a bad inning. I apologize.
