Very nice win. Lets take it tomorrow and get on the road to recovery.

I think he thought it was going to be caught for the sac fly.

Thank god Berkman is hitting because that was awful. Love the Badger Mutual Insurance Runs. Lay down the Ax Axford.

Not very classy

Lay down the freakin bunt. That is insane. RRR has bunted in every situation imaginable and then he doesn't there????

Agreed how is Loe not ready to go and why did you not have a lefty up in the pen?

Mr. Green you have just upset the classiest fans in baseball. Poor form young chap.

Thats what happens when you can't work the count and swing at the first pitch. They have looked absolutely lost. Both guys were absolutely locked in though before this losing streak happened. I'm wondering if teams are pitching them differently. I know the other day they were pitching them both inside. They were locked in but their approaches at the plate lately have been garbage. That will take you from locked to whatever it is they are getting now.

It would go along with all of the "aggressive" base running we have seen out of him.

Guaranteed that was called by RRR. Takes off on the 1st pitch. No way is that Weeks' call.

wow. pathetic

The thing that would be criminal is if this team can't score more than one run to support Yo.

You're grasping at straws here. And you keep ignoring the no change fee. Even as someone who obviously is not a Southwest fan, you have to admit that's a nice thing to have. The "maybe ill get an aisle seat maybe I won't" couldn't be further from the truth. If you fly frequently Southwest checks you in and puts you at the front of the line. Status always trumps when you check in (just like with every airline), so no its not a combination of status and check in time. Even if you don't fly frequently, you can check in early (as I have mentioned multiple times) and you will get a window or an aisle. The only people that don't are those that wait to check in until they get to the airport and we are all smarter than that right? You're right if you're flying out of the US Southwest probably isn't your bag, most of the country isn't as interested in the international jetsetting you appear to be. Also the features you mentioned are either only available for a fee or to elite/frequent flyer members. Great for people who fly a lot but not for most of the country that does not. To each his own I suppose, but I'll stand by my statement that Southwest is a great value for most of the flying community and even some of us who fly frequently are fans.

Can someone tell us what happened to Morgan? Pretty please?

God Marcum is a beast. Let's just hope Yo can regain form and Greinke does what Greinke does. Won't matter if we can't score runs, but I am still optimistic we will be the offense we have for the last few years.

The thing that I hate about Southwest is no reserved seats. I don't want to have to line up a half hour before the flight boards to get a shot at a better seat - my time is worth something. At 6'3", 220, with broad shoulders I will pay more for an aisle seat. Plus on United they have Economy Plus with 5" extra legroom (36" seat pitch instead of 31"). It's a free-for-all getting on the plane. If I was a small or average size person I probably wouldn't mind a window or even a middle seat but not at my size. So if you are a small or average sized person, don't fly frequently, bring a lot of stuff with you, and only travel domestically then Southwest is probably fine. But that does not fit my travel profile at all. I feel like I am turning in to a SW fan boy, but I have to point out some of the mistakes here. There is no lining up a half hour before the flight boards. You are assigned a position in line and based on that position is when you board the plane. Once you are on the plane you can sit anywhere you like. So some may ask how do you get the early position in line you would ask? Its all about when you check in. You can check in anytime within 24 hours from the time of your flight online. I always check in ASAP and always am in the first 15-45 people boarding, gaining me my aisle seat. If you fly frequently (should be getting there after my next flight), you earn frequent status where you are automatically checked in putting you even further ahead of the group. I am neither small or average, I fly frequently, never check a bag and I love SW. I will admit I was initially turned off by the "cattle call" as some like to refer to it, but once I figured out the check in early thing I haven't looked back. For me the simple fact that an airline is willing to drop baggage fees and change fees was enough to make me look at them and now I love the product they put out.

Agreed. I am so over watching this team right now.

Thank God

It depends on where you fly from I suppose. I fly out of ABQ these days and Southwest is always cheaper. I fly primarily to MKE and Dallas, but I have done trips to Portland, Phoenix and New Orleans recently and Southwest has always been the cheapest. I am sure they are no longer as much of a discount airline as they once were but I still find them to be very reasonable. On top of that the flights are always on time, the airline personal friendly and I don't mind the cattle call (I do always check in online exactly 24 hours in advance though so I am always in the A group). Not sure if people just don't know about this or are too lazy to do it. They are easy to do business with (no fee to change, no baggage fees) and I love their website.\ All of these things added up along with an always reasonable price give me no reason to go elsewhere unless prices are very different.

I have heard a lot about the hate for Southwest, but I have yet to experience it and I fly them all the time for business and for pleasure. In the past year I have probably flown them no less than 20 times and I have had nothing but good things to say about them. I was pretty excited to hear about this, because it means I'll have more destinations.

I have a hard time believing that was Braun's call. Not sure how we would know, but I would assume that was a run on contact play. Doesn't really matter. Casey would have been thrown out and Braun would have scored on Hart's single and then scored on Yuni's triple.

that hook was filthy mcnasty

The difference between Braun and Prince? Not sure how you don't see what it is as its fairly simple. Braun signed a long term-team friendly contract essentially guaranteeing he will play with the Brewers for the vast majority of his career. Prince was offered a huge contract as well, which he turned down. Whether that is good bad or other is up to the individual to decide, but you don't see why Braun would get more love than Fielder? I would never wish ill on him and he is off to an amazing start this year. I love the guy, but I love Braun more.

If Boggs and Almonte are both gone, then who takes the last bench spot? We have to keep one, and it will be Boggs.Well they would have to go down to a 12 man staff to keep Boggs. Not sure if that happens or not. Someone smarter than I can comment. The bench will be: Counsell, Kotsay, Morgan, Nieves unless they cut it down to a 12 man staff.
