Jimbo

My wife being let go after one week at her new job bugs me. It bugs me people keep screwing with her. Banks bug me. http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/mad.gif

I would venture to say they have had 66 games with a >90% chance of winning (60 actual wins plus the six blown chances), a 91% conversion rate, so maybe the numbers aren't out of line. But Milwaukee has had 54 games where the win prob dipped below 10% and only came back twice - 3.7% comeback rate.

Whaaa? I had to look this one up...very odd indeed. I did not know that. Yes, Oregon and New Jersey. I was in Portland in 2000 and went to put gas into my tank. I pull up to an island thinking self-service and an attendant comes to my car. So I drive around to another island and this dude keeps following me around. I got freaked and drove off to another station only to realize what the situation was.

Belliard.

After taking another punch to the gut yesterday, I decided to go on fangraphs.com to see how many heartache losses and come from behind wins the Brewers have this year. The only other time I can remember something like this is the late 70's when Bill Castro was the closer, forcing Harry Dalton to get Rollie Fingers, plus Leskanic of the 2001 season. Walk-off finishes don't always fall into this category. The Brewers are 2-6 in these games, the Cubs 2-5. With play like that, does either team deserve post-season play? Brewer losses, when win prob was > 90% 5/14 @PHI 6, MIL 6 up 6-2 in 8th 6/9 @TEX 4, MIL 3 up 3-0 in 9th, 2 out, none on 6/29 @CHC 6, MIL 5 up 5-0 in 4th, 5-3 in 9th 7/28G1 @STL 7, MIL 6 up 6-0 in 3rd; 6-4 in 9th, 1 out, none on 7/29 @STL 9, MIL 5 up 5-0 in 5th 8/5 PHI 8 @MIL 6 (11) up 4-0 in 4th; 6-0 in 6th, 6-1 8th; 6-3. 2 out, none on Brewer wins when win prob < 10% 4/23 MIL 5 @CHC 4 (12) down 4-0, 4-2 in 7th 8/5 @MIL 6, PHI 5 down 5-1 in 6th Cub losses, when win prob was > 90% 4/13 CIN 6 @CHC 5 blew 5-0 lead 4/23 MIL 5 @CHC 4 (12) up 4-0, 4-2 in 7th 5/8 PIT 4 @CHC 3 up 3-2 batting in 8th 5/17 @NYM 6, CHC 5 up 5-1 in 9th 5/25 @LAD 9, CHC 8 up 8-5 in 8th Cub wins when win prob < 10% 5/1 CHC 8 @PIT 5 down 5-2 in 7th 6/29 @CHC 6, MIL 5 down 5-0 in 4th, 5-3 in 9th

The Wave only plays an indoor schedule now. This is the second summer Milwaukee doesn't have outdoor soccer.

Is that Rob Skube getting thrown out in that Sunday afternoon game in '82?

I don't have it as bad as you guys since my area is pretty quiet. But last fall we did hire a nice enough guy, but however feels the need to wear his keys on his belt loop. He jingles each time he gets up and walks out of the office. I hear him coming 50 feet down the hall.

Sold out. If you're not already registered, don't bother showing up Saturday. LINK

Fair enough! PBP, box score and statistics updated accordingly!

"I'm the luckiest man on the face of the Earth." or whatever it was Gehrig said. Substitute He's for I'm.

So, how'd you do? You sounded pumped going into it.

Something caused the guy to take off from second to third, so that's an error there. Then he went from third to home on the throwing error. If it's deemed he would have been out easily at third, then no error on the play going to third and my runs are unearned. However, I hadn't ruled that any other play this season.

Box FINAL STATISTICS! Kenny pitched and played short, covering all ten positions this season! I don't think I have all the defensive switches down, so feel free to correct any errors.

A short-handed Brewerfan crew took on the second place Church Team and gave them all they could handle. After falling behind 5-0, the netters rally to take a one-run lead behind radman's blast to left and Rightomac's team record fourth of the season. However, the opponenets mount two-out rallies to pull away at the end. I apologize for my sombrero tonight, with two coming with RISP. On the other hand, I thought I did OK on the mound with no walks and no hard hit balls. The chance exisits this was my last game, hence the reason I dressed up in my fancy navy blue uni - I wanted to go out in style. I had a blast playing with guys and am grateful you gave this old fart a chance to get out and play some ball. This is a great group with great chemistry! Jim P.S. Jamie, get well soon! I appreciate all the work you've done in making this happen. Walking in your shoes tonight I can appreciate the job you do each week.

UCC scoresheet from Game 5

I thought the hoopla in 2002 was about Ted Williams. Painted his number in LF and named the the MVP award after him (although no one won it that year).

Nix that idea. Just got the notice I have to work that day. >: BOO!!

Yeah, I'm just a big prick, aren't I?

I saw a game at Dodger Stadium last year. AJAY also knows the stadium well. What would you like to know? I had a great time. I recommend it.

Brewerfan snaps the losing skid at four with a win tonight. Rightomac13 starts it off with a grand salami in the first. Radman ends it by striking out the last two with the bases loaded. Bay Street Pub d. Ed Thomas Insurance 9-8 with a long walk-off homer to lead-off the bottom of the seventh. Church Of Christ gets past White House by three. Brewerfan is now alone in third, with a chance to pull to .500 in the season finale. Box Home Stats Schedule Standings Landmark Inn - 1st Inning Defense Batteries: radman12484 and Iron Chef Napalm.

Game on.

Did this one last year. Just like any other race/walk. You get to run through the stadium. Trophies are pretty cool (racing sausage trophies). I'll try to get one this year.

I say we have our own version of the "Brewer Beards". I'll have mine on Thursday.
