Who are these guys? (she asked in a good way)

Right now, most if not all theories recently posited in this thread are possible: Pulled before impending implosion Ran himself tired on basepath Soup is fixed/Duncan is a genius saint/Everyone in the Brewers' organization sucks Wait to see how he pitches against a team having a better season than the 2010 Mariners

Jeff hits a double Scores as Meltdown drops a ball. Cards fans chanting SOUUUUP. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Edit: Soup comes out after 4, so he can't get a decision.

You can't say STL isn't setting Soup up for success.

That's our Soup! Thanks, Meltdown.

I'm listening to the SEA-STL game (Seattle feed) with a laptop on the couch. I swear I'm not the vindictive sort, but I am wearing a Seattle Pilots cap in rally position. For those of us in the mood for some Suppan schadenfreude, this Seattle starter is not helping matters.

The Union had ESPN on at lunch (in advance of World Cup coverage) and I was dismayed to see how they tried to make Casey look like a Bad Man: black and white photo with his quote about it being a clean slide superimposed over it. Boo. On the bright side, the Rathskeller was so full of people I couldn't hear whatever audio they played with it.

The thread title is edited now - and here's a link.

First of all...SoCal BrewCrew Fan - get your child back to more games! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif She, and you, are obviously part of the glue that holds the Brewers together. Secondly, I finally saw the clip of Casey's home run Torii's miss, and naturally felt the need to do a small "sieve" chant here in my office. And bad blood? Really? Because of the long bitter rivalry between these two teams? They weren't even the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim when they lost the ALCS in 1982. Or was it the cheese sandwich game of 2004? Counsell scored that run, after all. Anyway - feel free to keep up the effectiveness, Brewers.

Yes. Aybar went down as Casey slid into 2nd.

I suspect I'm one of the more hopeful fans around Brewerfan, but if someone had told me it would be 9-2 in the 7th, I might not have guessed correctly which team had which score. Keep it up, Brewers.

Old school! I remember that night. Sheets was amazing. And yes, I am hungry for cheese sandwiches.Here's a couple of ways to take that particular trip down memory lane... Retrosheet box score IGT from 6/8/2004 (though it lacks the cheese sandwich images, unfortunately)

He's goin' goin', back back, to Cali Cali....of course. Another example of not enough Lucroy love: Sunday was Jonathan's birthday and the Brewers didn't put a shoutout up on the scoreboard. Cold. Conversely, they put up a Happy Birthday Gregg Zaun several days in advance of his birthday (since it fell during a road trip). But I digress. Come on, Brewers. Surprise us?

I think I was at that game...or else I remember it really, really well. I'd have to check my stub collection. But yeah, Jimbo's post above had me thinking of it even before I scrolled down to see RCC's reply.

Maybe it's his star quality. He was in that soap opera once, you know. More seriously, even if Jeff is effective vs. the Mariners Tuesday, you'd still need to see at least one other start against a less struggling team before declaring him fully fixed/Dave Duncan an alchemist/etc.

I still remember where I was when I heard the news (or more specifically, read the news, as I saw it in a newspaper). June 6, 1983. /grumbling/

I don't mean you have to make something Packers, but chances are there's someone you know who likes them better and could find a use for the green and yellow. Incidentally, I am not that someone. My sister makes fairly elaborate cakes for her kids' birthdays. The last one was a dragon. It was a piece of work.

Photographic proof that Darth Vader was sitting behind the press box loge seats - right under Robb Edwards, in fact: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs550.snc3/30109_1470662492256_1404434242_1218938_5287249_n.jpg It was kind of weird to turn around and see stormtroopers.

Patrick425, that Brant Brown game featured (or included, depending on how important you thought it was) either Sosa's 64th and 65th or 65th and 66th. Certainly most games don't end the way that one did. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif It remains one of the most remarkable games I've ever attended. In late 1998 we were at the game where Mark McGwire struck out four times against the Brewers. That was satisfying. I remember lots of STL fans with Big Mac shirts so bright red I was expecting to see tags still attached. Also, yes, Mr. Edmonds got his new if inconsistently used Diego nickname from the early 2010 game where someone guessed Jim Edmonds instead of Jody Gerut despite the Diego clue; and despite the clue of "He hit a grand slam vs. the Cubs in 2009." That's only special on brewerfan.net, not (sadly) in the game as a whole. I had the middling-at-best fortune to also be at that 2002 game where Shawn Green had four home runs. It was nice to have a day off (it was a weekday game) but seeing Glendon Rusch put the Brewers out of it within literally 10 minutes of the first pitch was pretty depressing for a ballgame.

I'd take an airmailed throw for an error. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

My latest question is not about music, but rather the "Escobar" audio clip played at MP after Alcides does something good on either offense or defense. Pop culture-wise, I'm not hip enough to know what the clip is from; but surely someone here knows.

Not every fan who stayed that long was an idiot doing the wave. If anyone ever asks me why I don't join in the wave at a baseball game, I'll be tempted to punch the asker in the face. Having said that, the fans in my general vicinity lost interest quickly after Texas went up 4-1. Even I had to do my first anger-management concourse walk of 2010 after the Rangers pitcher got that 2 RBI single. That was certainly a turning point. The sour turn the game took at that point distracted me from the utter world of cute that was the Brewers' kids taking the place of the Major League Moment kids so they could stand with their dads during the national anthem (today, since the Brewers are on the road on Father's Day). Prince's kids seem to have inherited possibly an unhealthy amount of dad's body type, but they were still cute. Casey McGehee's little Mack jumped up and down excitedly as Casey ran out to him, and one of Corey's ton of kids did the same. And, as was alluded to early in this thread, Yo Jr. just might have a future in his dad's line of work. Another early distraction from the game was the appearance of costumed Star Wars characters in front of the press box (thus right behind our seats) in the 2nd inning or so, to promote the Star Wars in Concert coming up at the Bradley Center in July. I'm pretty sure I got in some fans' photos since most everyone in our section and the one next to ours got out a camera or phone and were snapping footage. Eventually I took a photo too, and if it turns out decent I'll post it. I can't say I'm feeling super optimistic about the Brewers' chances vs. California Anaheim Disney the Angels or the Rockies (or let's face it, the Twins), but I'm willing to see how the games play out.

I don't want to sound like a complete fuddy duddy, but how'd Abby work out not being in school since December or January?

In the state of Wisconsin, there has to be a Packers-themed use for lots of green and yellow food coloring.

I heard Davey say that Burdette was named Lew at birth but came to prefer the spelling Lou because of Gehrig. That's all I noticed from the radio call, to which I am also half listening.
