Well, it would have been cool if it would have actually been John Goodman. Oh well.
-
I really like the lineup for tonight. While Weeks has been horrendously bad this postseason, I think that sitting him would be a huge mistake. Four hours to go...
-
Brewers, time to put your kill face on. Just passing the time until the game.

Goodman also played a fanatical fat man in The Big Lebowski, so LaRussa should enjoy seeing him as well.

While I'm not going to defend the Brewers for their play last night, I do think we often overestimate what constitutes "average" defense these days. With Gomez in center I don't think this team is horrible defensively, but that's probably more of a testament to how good Gomez is than anything. Hairston is a solid player who saved two runs with a brilliant play and then gave them up with a boneheaded play. If he had let the first ball go by and played the second cleanly I don't think we'd even be thinking about it. Weeks and Yuni were painful last night. Gomez made a beautiful play in CF. On the level, I think it was more the timing of the miscues than anything. Any way you slice it, it was pretty tough to watch.

On the bright side, watching Gomez is truly a thing of beauty. He could just about play an average CF if he closed his eyes.

Yea, I think BA has done a very good job of not showing his bias this season, outside of perhaps the huge inning in game 1. He's a really good announcer.
-
+1. Michael Bluth cannot tell a lie.
-
Then you remember slugger make ball go far, and you remember why we're 2-2 and won 96 games this seasonhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif.

Yeah, as frustrating as it is, even if the club loses tonight, we just need to win two games in a row to go to the World Series. At home. Just win game 6, and win game 7. Or better yet, mount a comback!
-
Or not. Hard to tell if Betancourt had a play there, probably best just to take the out. It's getting way to late in the game for them to keep tacking on these runs...

Look what happens when a Brewers fan tries to be gracious.

Meh. Most of those guys seem pretty reasonable. I think the main difference here is that somehow the "riff raff" don't seem to stick around on this board. I haven't had problems with Cards fans at Miller Park. They're generally pretty respectful and enjoy watching the game. It's hard not to be a football first state when the Packers have been arguably the greatest franchise in NFL history and the Brewers have been one of the worst franchises over the last 40 years. I do think there are a lot of baseball first people in Wisconsin now, but I think it would be foolish to deny that the Packers are still king. -
I'm assuming you mean Elijah Dukes, who has fathered quite a few children with underage women.
-
Not to take you away from a good ball game, but you might want to go ahead and get that checked out.
-
Another great play by Prince Fielder at 1st. Tricky bounce on that one too.
-
Or we could just send Josh Wilson their way. JHJ flew under the radar at the trade deadline and I'm thrilled they picked him up. I see no reason not to give the guy a 2-year, $4 million deal.
-
Because McGeehee is completely lost right now?At this point McGehee's so lost I'm not sure he could find his way to the on deck circle.
-
Get through this inning quickly, K-Rod. I do not want to see Albert up in the bottom of the 9th. Or Holliday.
-
uh, did you hear Plush after Game 5 vs AZ? And that was when he knew the mic was right there I'm pretty sure sveum is alluding to all of those Cardinals fans who were disgusted by Morgan's actions.
-
I noticed the same thing last night. A lot of the low throws that had given him trouble in the past haven't eaten him up this postseason.
-
You've got to be kidding. That's a pop out most nights.
-
So far Lohse has 5 called strikes, only 1 of which was in the zone, according to Pitch FX.
-
That's a joke of a strike zone.

Something I actually thought about today: Should the manager be just about the last person to trust when evaluating an outfielder? They can hardly even watch an outfielder throughout the season. I mean, the dugout has to be one of the worst possible spots to evaluate outfield defense.
