Anybody see the DP right before Weeks's home run? Uecker mentioned that it was a close play. Would have been nice to get two on that one.

 

Especially since Bush gave the run right back.

[adambr2]

Weeks = Good.

 

I can't wait to see what a healthy Weeks can do in a full season next year.

 

For the Weeks doubters, he pulled off a .375 OBP this season and is ending up pretty close to being the 2nd 20/20 guy on the team in a struggling, injury plagued season where he spent some time in AAA.

 

There's no question he's a huge part of our future.

Counsell = Bad

I rewound it, paused it and Bush was safe. No question about it, his foot was on the base while the ball was about a foot away from Gonzalez' glove.

[crewcrazy]

Any chance at all that Counsell retires after this season?

 

Here's an interesting note about today's game...so far (bottom of the 8th), the only two Brewers hits have come from Weeks (hitting .235 for the year) and Jenkins (hitting .257).

We can only hope so. 2 years $6 million for a .220 bench player. Awesome!

[crewcrazy]

I can't say I'd be disappointed to see Craig go, but if he does decide to call it quits, the Brewers would be losing one of their few quality defensive gloves.

 

Braun K's with the tying run on 2nd...bummer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Hopefully he can cut the K's down next year...that's been one of my few gripes with him this year. If he could learn to foul off those pitches instead of whiffing on them completely, he'd be an even more dangerous hitter.

[jjgott]

Anyone see Ray King's picture on the Brewers website? I don't know where his face ends and his neck begins!

[crewcrazy]

Seeing Yost pinch hit Tony Gwynn for Bill Hall is probably a good indicator in Neddy's confidence in Hall..yikes.

 

Edit: Holy crap Gwynn didn't get out! It's a September miracle! Tie game...there's still hope.

[giffted1]

Now isn't that ironic. Gwynn puts a halt on the Padres celebration.

[Roscoe Chill]

I'm sorry, but I just don't take Mark Attanasio's vote of confidence in Ned Yost seriously. You're meaning to tell me after the collapse, and then not even finishing with a winning record is a good season because they were playing meaningful baseball games in September ONLY because of a terrible division?

[adamb100]

Alright we're a hit from 15 years gone wrong.

What do you mean? I've ever see someone renege on a vote of confidence.

 

[crewcrazy]

Mike Rivera stinks. I would've rather had someone pinch hit there, but oh well. Get them in extras.

[pitchleague]

at least we get to play in extra innings.

 

And, SHOCKER OF ALL SHOCKS! Ned is using Cordero in a NON-SAVE situation!

Who would you have hit over Rivera. Miller, Rottino? To me, they're pretty much all the same guy. Who else was available?

True, most of the viable pinch hit options were already used. It just stunk seeing Mike Rivera stepping into a situation like that.

 

Edit: CoCo pitching with dollar signs in his eyes. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif Nice job on the 1-2-3 inning, Coco. Now let's win this stupid game.

[tomwopat]

At this rate Vinny Rotino will be pitching and Marcus Hanel will be playing CF in the 13th.

[yogallardo43]

Jason Lane kills us in two different ways now. What an idiot

[davemakovec]

Heh - but it's in the ninth inning - that almost satisfies the no-closer-in-a-non-save situation. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/roll.gif

 

[giffted1]

What the heck was that? Lane is out by a mile and dives into Fielder at first.

[adamb100]

Alright get a hit and get #82, I have plans tonight. :P

[davemakovec]

Wouldn't it be ironic to get win #82 off of Joe Thatcher?

 

Edit: Vinny Rottino - do the local-boy-plays-the-hero thing now. Do it.

[adamb100]

82 Wins!!!!!

[sheetswannabe]

I KNOW THAT GUY!!! 82 WINS!!!
