  1. If you're a dedicated fan of a team, it hurts anytime they lose, whether they're in first place or last place. I'll give you that it is almost funny bad how we keep losing games on the road, but it doesn't make it hurt any less.
  2. As low as my expectations were for this road trip, I never thought we'd go 0-7.
  3. We held them to only 4 runs in one inning, an unacceptable output against this rag tag bullpen. lol.
  4. Prince Fielder is angry with the baseball. edit: grammar
  5. This one is like watching WWE, same bad script, just new players. Instead of it being Shouse, Kolb, or Capellan, tonight it is Davis and Helling blowing the lead.
  6. I'd agree, but given our choices, other than Rivera, I don't want to see Nix or Jenkins vs. a lefty. I'd almost say I want Dave Bush, but that would be fairly sad. LOL
  7. I think the only way this roadtrip can get worse is if Prince takes a liner in the face and Bill Hall blows out his knee. ... that really shouldn't be in blue. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif
  8. Probably Mench, because even when Mench is running hard he is still slow. Grieve always looked like he was in slow motion, but that's because I never really saw him run lol. *waits for someone to say we were Yosted, despite the fact Yost has been gone for 6 innings* lol
  9. I think we all saw that coming.
  10. I bet if Cirillo hadn't gotten tossed, they'd PH Prince here. But without Gross that only leaves lefties Nix and Jenkins, and the backup C Rivera. And Ichi-Ohka. lol
  11. Yes, I believe so. But I think DM already said if they call anyone not on the 40 man up they can just move Weeks to the 60-day DL to clear a spot.
  12. I need to go back to only half paying attention. As soon as I actually turned my attention to the TV Bill Hall hit into a DP. lol
  13. Its about time we show some emotion. Unfortunately it isn't exactly the intelligent kind of emotion, but at this point I'll take what I can get http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif .
  14. Starter profiles: Doug Davis, (9-8, 5.17) http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060820/capt.ce55e8a3d7094ac9b1a046585a0bc568.astros_brewers_baseball_wimg102.jpg Doug is embarassed by our 0-6 road trip so far. Andy Pettitte (12-13, 4.56) http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060827/capt.2f48e77ad1a94821826086f7bde8bd8a.astros_pirates_baseball_paks101.jpg Andy is letting his shoulder lean. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  15. This is the general "what if" world, but because Berkman was essentially standing on first base when Cirillo caught the ball and came back to the bag instead of running to second, if I am understanding the rules correctly Cirillo could have first tagged Berkman, then the bag, and the inning would have been over because the force in this case is still in effect while the batter has not touched first? lol
  16. In your scenario, if the third basemen steps on third, the runner from second is out, but the runner from first has to go to second, because otherwise if he stays at first and the batter gets to first, if the ball is thrown to first the runner originally on first will be out. The "ahead of the force" thing applies to bases ahead of the base tagged for the force. For example, bases are loaded with no outs, Graffy playing 2B gets a ball and steps on second to force the runner from first, then throws home. The runner on second can now continue running to third or go back to second, because second base is unoccupied. The runner from third can now go back to third or continue going home, because the runner from second no longer has to go to third if he doesn't want to. If they both end up on third, hopefully we don't throw the ball into left field and someone is tagged out, but the runners are no longer forced to go to a specific base. With the Cirillo play, first base was tagged, so Berkman did not have to go to second, Biggio didn't have to go to third, and the guy on third didn't have to go home. That guy and Biggio decided to go anyway, but Berkman went back to first and was thus safe because first was unoccupied by the batter, who was out.
  17. Hey. that's a new way to lose. It hurts just as much, but at least they're coming up with new stuff. Cirillo's momentum made him fall on the bag, so either way the batter would have been out I think so it doesn't matter that he tagged it?
  18. Lidge is doing the Lidge! Come on boys, get a run here.
  19. We can't buy a run tonight. Great outing by Bush. Fasten your seatbelts, it is bullpen time. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif
  20. If there is a brawl, I'd fear for the safety of anyone in Prince Fielder's path, he's been an angry man lately, lol. ... then I'd fear for our lineup without Prince if he got suspended, http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif lol.
  21. Maybe a brawl would fire us up. Probably not, but anything may help at this point, lol.
  22. Now which is more odd, Shouse's blow up, or Turnbow's clean frame after Kolb's blow up? lol
  23. Hey, Derrick Turnbow recorded an out! ... wait, Turnbow is the guy who can get the out? This is bizarroland!
  24. You should have just walked him, Dan. Man, these collapses are almost predictable now. I have the whole sinking feeling in the stomach thing, but it is hard to even get angry anymore it happens so much.
