    4 straight high fastballs with an 0-2 count was just plain stupid. How about wasting a pitch? Throwing a slider or something? Mauer is a .300 hitter for a reason and when you continue to put it in the same spot at the same speed, he's going to catch it. Of course, the entire thing could have been avoided if Ryan Braun didn't play so deep. 95% of other left fielders catch that foul pop down the line that he just missed.

    Let's hope the Sox can put the clamps on here. We don't need the Cubs taking anything from this game (with a comeback or god forbid, a huge comeback win)...a nice demoralizing win for the Sox would be nice. And about Edmonds...I'm entirely sick of the Cubs picking up other teams washouts and having them perform well...seems like it happens consistently for them. Especially Jim Edmonds.

    So here we are...day of the draft? Any predictions? I was really hoping the Bucks could somehow pull the trigger to get some more draft choices this year, as the top 15 or so of the draft is pretty strong and it's clear that this team needs a rebuilding. Unfortunately, I've heard almost nothing on the trade front and it appears we'll be selecting Alexander from WV. Anyone heard anything about a trade and/or draft selection?

    Classic!

    I'm with ya on that one, working during a Brewer loss really sucks. Running out of time though I'm afraid.

    Our offense has been this way the whole series...seems like we're consistently swinging through or fouling off very hittable pitches. Let's hope we square it away in the last couple innings here.

    Puts Thome in who pops up on the first pitch....why not sac bunt there?? It's a tie game in the 9th...just get the lead right now, don't play for the big inning. 4 straight innings with a leadoff hit, 2 of them doubles, they gotta do something here!!

    Sox have gotten a leadoff hit in 3 straight innings and failed to advance any of them...to third base.

    He's had a few tough breaks on some putts, one was just short for eagle and he had a birdie putt lip out....still, he's Tiger Woods and only 1 back...

    I wouldn't be at all suprised to see either one, though more likely LaPorta, up when the rosters expand in September.

    If memory serves me correctly, don't the Brewers almost always wait to announce the signing of their first round draft pick until they are at home? I seem to recall all of them sitting in the dugout for a game or two, taking some BP (or throwing in the pen) at Miller Park right after they signed the contract. With that in mind...should we be expecting a Lawrie announcement in the next couple of weeks or is it more likely that it will be a long drawn out process? It certainly hope we can sign him quickly and get him playing some pro ball in the near future.

    One side of the stadium does have a fairly busy street, but the other side has an almost "ghetto" type area. It seriously is like two different worlds (from one side of the stadium to the other). I find it hard to believe that they were all that concerned about a rather dumpy area, I'm sure they easily could have bought out some of the bail bonds buildings that are there.

    I just can't let this pass. I was in Houston in early May for the series, and I have to have this question answered. I can fully understand the phras "y'all" as it clearly combines "you and all" and I'm sure at some point all of us have said "You all.....something". BUT...I heard numerous individuals in Houston use the term "y'alls". What are they combining there?!?! "You" and "alls"???? When has anyone ever said..."You alls....anything"???? Sorry to rant, but it drove me absolutely crazy down there! EDIT: Apparently I can't quote correctly...my bad. Fixed. - Toby

    I really fail to see how starting Counsell at second is an upgrade over Bill Hall. I would say their defense is a wash, though I'm sure Hall has better range, and their hitting is pretty similar....though Hall at least has the potential to hit for some power. Just doesn't make any sense.

    Having watched most of the Cubs games for the last couple weeks, I have to say that their luck is due to run out. First off, they've been playing mediocre teams and barely winning (look at all the 1 run games). Secondly, teams are going to start capitalizing on them at some point. Tonight....down 1, lead off double by the Dodgers and they don't even hit a ball out of the IF. Kemp swings at ball 3 with bases loaded then misses a pitch right down the middle. It's going to catch up with them.

    I'd agree, but it's only been a few games. But it's been a pretty strict platoon at this point.

    It probably doesn't hurt the Cubs that they've played the Pirtates TWELVE times already or the fact that they've played over 30 home games. Their schedule hasn't been all that tough and I give them credit for winning games they should be winning. That being said, we'll see what happens when that schedule flips and they're not playing the Pirates all the time and hit the road for some 3 team trips.

    I don't mind the game itself, but the selection process is an absolute joke. Allowing fans to vote for anything like this is just silly...I understand the arguement that the fans are a part of the game and all that, but it mainly just leaves deserving players off the roster, and let's a guy like Soriano start (or Griffey for that matter). It's just one giant popularity contest, and it simply makes very little sense. Same thing happens in the NBA (how else would Vince Carter ever make an all-star game?!?!). I'm not exactly fond of how the reserves are selected either, but that's a bit more realistic.

    I understand that part. Sorry, didn't word that one very well.

    I was watching the Brewers the other night with some of my friends (who like baseball, but aren't exactly the diehard that I am). We were discussing unearned runs and how they are calculated. I got them to understand the basic rules: if a guy reaches on an error and he scores, it doesn't cout against the pitcher, anything after 2 outs with an error in the inning is unearned, etc. They were fine with this. One of them then asked me a question that I actually didn't have a legitimate answer for....If an error is made by the pitcher and that runner scores, why is it an unearned run? The pitcher was the one that made the error, so it's HIS fault that runner is on base...meaning he "earned" the run for himself. I know that it doesn't, as anybody reaching on an error would be an earned run, regardless of who made it...but why is that exactly? If the pitcher makes the error, it's their fault the runner is on base to begin with. Logically, I would think that would be an earned run, but it's not. Any thoughts on this? I need to give these guys something when I see them tonight, they've been needling me on it for a few days now.

    Sent you a message.

    Mass- I've met several Brewer fans around here...and I was on the T last night, maybe you even met us! Hopefully you're right and the T will run late.

    I've had a few games freeze on the locker room screen...very, very annoying.

    Long shot here, but is anyone staying at the Ramada out by JFK station? 2 of us are here and will have to take a cab back after the game tomorrow night (trains only run until 12)...so we're looking to potentially split a game back from Fenway. Just thought I'd check.

    It's a bit earlier in the season, and certainly not quite as dramatic...but does this remind any at all of the Brewers/Cubs game from last year when the Brewers blew an early 5-0 lead and Aramis Ramirez hit a walkoff 2 run, 2 out shot against CoCo?? It was a huge two game swing in the standings, and the Cubs seemed to be on a really hot streak the rest of the season. Granted, it's only May 1, but this just seems like a similar game. One team basically counting the W already, then a devastating loss and a huge upswing for the other team (in the Brewers favor though).
