At this rate Maddux will throw a CG.

Hopefully the Brewers season can be cancelled due to rain.

Gotta give props to Brady for that slide. This home plate umpire is horrible. We better not get no-hit.

Looks like we're throwing our best lineup out there, although Clark should probably bat second.

Another Brewer loss. At least we will get a good draft pick next year.

They should have kept in Obermueller to hit!

FSN has to make room for their quality in-house programming.

There goes the no hitter. Thanks Pods.

It must have been Branyan's errors yesterday. Because Wes doesn't have defensive difficulties. Right.

The return of Wes Helms. And Brady Clark takes over the two spot.

Having a player at third and no outs...and we can't score him. Nice fundamentals.

Yes, they are pals. Daron and Bill have mentioned how they were on the same team before (either minor league or major league, I don't remember) and have bonded since then.

I like how Daron and Bill wet themselves everytime Bennett blocks a ball in the dirt.

Why can't we get Sheets some victories. This makes me mad/sad.

Nice domination Al.

This is ridiculous.

I'm just telling you his reasoning. I don't agree with it.

Yost and his statistical analysis team calculated that the fifth spot will lead off more innings than the other spots Overbay could occupy.

caught stealing and a subsequent triple. that's killer.

Jose Mesa suffered his first blown save in 12 chances Thursday, giving up two runs in the ninth inning as the Atlanta Braves rallied for a 3-2 victory. The Pirates dropped the final two games of their series with the Braves after pulling within two games of .500. They have still won 19 of their last 28 contests. The Brewers are 2-9 in their last 11 games, all against National League Central Division foes. During its slide, Milwaukee has been held to two runs or less seven times, including three shutouts. Pitching Matchup: Pittsburgh - Sean Burnett (5-2, 2.84 ERA); 1-0, 3.00 vs. Milwaukee in 2004. Milwaukee - Doug Davis (9-9, 3.99); 0-1, 4.76 vs. Pittsburgh in 2004. Who's Hot: Pittsburgh - CF Tike Redman, 2-for-3 Thursday, 6-for-11 inhis last three games. Milwaukee - RP Dan Kolb, 16 straight saves since May 31. Who's Not: Pittsburgh - 1B Randall Simon, who did not play Thursday, is 4-for-33 in his last 11 games. Milwaukee - 2B Keith Ginter, 9-for-53 in last 16 games. 2004 Series: Pittsburgh 8-1; All-time series: Milwaukee 55-42. Injuries: Pittsburgh - C Humberto Cota (left oblique, 15-day DL); RHP Brian Boehringer (right shoulder, 15-day DL); LHP Mike Johnston (left elbow, 15-day DL); 1B Daryle Ward (right thumb, 15-day DL); OF J.J. Davis (strained right hip flexor, 15-day DL). Milwaukee - 2B Junior Spivey (left shoulder, 15-day DL). Wes Helms batting cleanup. That is all.

I hope they win tonight.

But he used the word microcosm.

The Brewers can't score one run off Munroe. Ridiculous.
