Escobar joins in!

Greg Zaun have a big day! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

If you have not already, flip over to the Bucks....looks like they are about to win to tie the series at 2!

Parra has been scary good so far. I like it

I think it was a pretty good outing for Yo. 6 strong is not that bad. Nice to see him get to pitch with a lead, I think that helps any starter for sure. 3 for 3 for Zaun. Hopefully he gets hot after a good nite tonight

Rickie does strike out a lot..... Concerns?

Zauns avg. is soaring tonight http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif It is now "up" to .189

Lets all hope he never gets nearly as bad as Soriano. That guy never hustles on a play like that......

Yo should never walk a pitcher, period. Lack of foccus, again.

Has that ever happened? As a freshman baseball coach, I did have a kid make 2 outs in an inning and then we left him in the on deck circle. It would be awesome if that happened in the pros, though.....

I cannot believe this is happening.......we lay down and die for the stupid, rotten, stinkin, cubs.......then turn it right back on against the Pirates.......

Zaun!!!!!!!

I was just about to say that Sarg.......

About time huh? Yo was due..... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

understatement.....not even sure its a word. I feel bad for the big guy......I hope he gets it going soon.

Yep....to say Prince is struggling would be an understatement.....

As a life-long cat and dog owner, my heart goes out to you. Best of luck!

In my humble opinion, as a WWII loving freak and avid reader on the topic...It has been ok The series has its good points and its bad points. The first Marine Division's major battles (which the series tries to follow) were in Guadalcanal, Peleliu, Iwo, and Okinawa. So you get a very choppy veiw of the war...but one that has not really been told before on TV. As far as a series, I cannot say that it has been great. Entertaining, yes, but a must have like BOB, I am not sure. The Peleliu stuff has been very good......but they do a lot of bouncing around between stories and it is very difficult to become attached to any one or few characters. You go from intense battle scene to home front, to love story, to battle, etc. Kind of hard to get into it. I have enjoyed it overall, because I am a war buff and love any and everything involving WWII. But to a casual veiwer, I am not sure if they would like it. I find myself always upset that they stoped the episode where they did, and I always feel like I am left at a point where they dont finish the little stories they started. From a casual standpoint, I think Band of Brothers blows it away. I would watch it before you buy it! A few things to explore...... If you have HBO, check out the on demand - making of and behind the scenes shorts on The Pacific. They are actually really good and informative. They do a little background on the main characters and the four main battles. Its cool to see how they made the scenes that they did. The book "The Pacific" that the story is based on is very, very, good! I finished it last week and after the intros, its hard to put down. You learn a lot more about the characters and the story. What is interesting is the book follows John Basalone much more closely, (I would argue he is the main character) and it also follows a dive bomber pilot, which has not been mentioned in the tv version at all. It also describes characters a little differently than the series does.....for example, they characters do have flaws! It is a great read and I recommend it 100%. Another book to read on this story is called Islands of the Damned, by R.V. Burgin. It follows the same division and story, told thru a motar squad commander. The author tells in vivid detail the destruction of a bunker on Peleliu, which was shown in the TV series. (I believe the author helped with this episode, and is shown giving commands to Eugene Sledge in the episode) Very good read, I read the 200+ pages in one weekend. I couldnt put it down. These two books make the story and the TV series a lot easier to understand. Hope this helps.....good luck and enjoy!

Oh really? I didnt realize that....... And I like it! Thanks for pointing that out! What I dont get is that Pittsburgh is the #4, in a traditional bracket they would in the second round get the #1. (Washington) Doe the NHL re-seed? If so, does that make them the only league to do that

The brewers cannot afford to have any of their decent role pitchers get hurt right now, thats for sure

If you read the comments posted after that article, wow, harsh!

The official scorer changed that play to an error where Rickie was behind second base.....therefore a lot less of the runs were earned. Not that it helps this mess, but I noticed in the box score that Bush's numbers are not too blown up after this mess. Edit - not a lot less.....2.

I agree they need a manager with a pulse, somebody who will raise a little hell but know what they are doing. Like Ned Yost, but with coaching ability.......I like Randolph where he is right now. Frustrating to say the least......

I agree with both Hammer and BrewCrew. And today's game is a perfect example of all of the problems of the Macha era. I hate watching a baseball team "go thru the motions" and swing at everything - for example, Rickie Weeks striking out on a pitch over his head in the last ab. Its disgusting. This team, these players, are a lot better than what they have shown in this series. Macha has got to go.

That strike three call on Bush is the story to this game. Nobody has gotten that call all day. Especially Dave Bush. Awful.....
