    Start warming up the pen, plz. Looks like Manny's hitting the wall in the 7th again.

    So....the Brewers have a 5-0 lead against an NL West team and Brian and Bill are openly talking about a road sweep. Do they not remember what happened in Arizona, and how dead in the water the D'Backs looked before that 9th inning? Is anyone else fearing the thought of Guillermo Mota making an appearance this afternoon to "get some work in"?

    BRAUN! Yum...insurance runs.

    The ESPN Sunday Night Baseball blackout rule for out-of-market games was pushed ahead a couple hours due to the Sunday Night game airing a couple hours earlier tonight, because ESPN is showing the ESPYs afterwards. Usually the game would be available on EI with a game starting at 3, but unfortunately for Brewer fans outside the FSN-WI market that's when the blackout started today.

    Durham's had that "flu" for a few days now...I don't think he's been in the dugout all series.

    Corey Hart wears sunglasses during day games, too. He crushed that one.

    I assume whatever out-of-market blackout rules apply today are due to the ESPYs tonight pushing the start time for the Sunday Night Game ahead a couple hours. Stupid fake awards show. Why do they insist on shoving that crap down our throats when they already released all the winners the day after they taped it?

    Either I'm blind, or somebody flipped a wrong switch at FSN. I get audio, but I see nothing but black...anyone else having this problem (I have DishNetwork, BTW)?

    Well, you can't expect him to use the MJS as his source after Haudricourt dominated him with the multiple scoops on the CC trade. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I still remember Buster reluctantly reporting the trade when it finally went down and all his previous reports were wrong in terms of what the Brewers were giving up. Poor guy was so sure both LaPorta and Escobar would be involved, plus other pieces, even though TH was reporting for like a full week that it'd be one or the other.

    I predict both starting pitchers will hit a double today. Lincecum may be small, but he can flat-out rake.

    Ben Sheets also has a history of injuries, and the Cubs aren't counting Harden as much as the Brewers are counting on Sheets (although the Sabathia addition would soften the blow of a Sheets injury). The Brewers have McClung, a converted reliever. I don't buy the "Well, they're the Cubs -- they HAVE to choke" thing...they didn't choke last year when they won the division, and I don't think you can't really dismiss the 2008 team because of the shortcomings of the past 99 teams. I don't think the Cubs should be too worried, but Ennder is right in that they have to win the H2H games, otherwise things will definitely get interesting. Coming into today's games, though, Baseball Prospectus had them at 88% odds to make the playoffs -- the best chance in baseball. It would take a Mets-style collapse for them to miss the playoffs, IMO.

    They still pretty much have a playoff spot locked up, either way. They still have a lot of games left against the Cards and Brewers, if I remember correctly, so there's a lot of chances to directly put some distance between themselves and the rest of the division. They've hit a bit of a rough patch while the Brewers and Cards have gotten hot, but I still think they're the best overall team in the division. Barring injury, I'd say they still have the division under control. The Brewers and Cards will be beating each other up for most of next week, so there's going to be plenty of chances for them to gain ground if the second place team loses and they win.

    In an interview CC did with Bill after his first start, CC told the story about how he learned to throw his "cutter". He said he was basically just screwing around with his pitching coach during the All-Star Break a few years ago, and they suggested that he try to throw a cutter. I forget how he explained it, but CC said he's always called it a cutter even though he throws it the same way he throws his slider. Since then, Brian and Bill have acted like they got some kind of scoop and they call everything that looks like it a cutter, even though it could just as easily be his slider.

    Someone had to wear the collar for the rest of the team today -- looks like it's Hall.
  15. crewcrazy
    Braun triples, Fielder hits him in. I like it when both of those guys are hitting well.
  16. crewcrazy
    He certainly did it in style, didn't he? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Only the second splash hit this season -- Lance Berkman was the first.
  17. crewcrazy
    PRINCE SPLASH HIT!
  18. crewcrazy
    Mitch Stetter's control pretty much stinks. I'd be thrilled to get out of this inning only down by 1.
  19. crewcrazy
    Ueck is simply classic: "Righetti coming out to talk to Yabu, and Yabu talking to Molina asking what Righetti is saying, and Molina says 'I dunno.' Righetti will go back into the dugout and Bruce Bochy will ask what they said, and Righetti will say 'I dunno -- everyone's speaking different out there.'"
  20. crewcrazy
    Let's get something going this inning, now...nice AB for Billy. Hell, just get one this inning and I'll be happy.
  21. crewcrazy
    Still plenty of time left in this game, and Sanchez's PC is at 69. It's still only 4-1, and the Giants bullpen is less than solid, as we saw last night.
  22. crewcrazy
    Sounds like Ben doesn't have his good stuff today. Hopefully he can get out of this inning without too much damage.
  23. crewcrazy
    How much do you think Ben loves these games that aren't on TV? Since he doesn't have to wait for TV breaks, he can start dealing as soon as he wants. It was 1-1 on the first batter in the third before the radio broadcast got back from commercial break.
  24. crewcrazy
    Nice job getting out of a jam, Benny. Uecker said Braun airmailed another throw completely over the cutoff man's head, but the third base coach held the runner at third because he just assumed Braun would make a good throw...lucky break.
  25. crewcrazy
    If Ben Sheets doubles in a run and we can't see it on TV, did it really happen?
