Game Thread #51: Anakin vs. Emperor Palpatine

by roguejim on May 28, 2007 1:10 PM CDT in Game Threads Comment 134 comments

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! And what better way to celebrate the holiday, than to fire up the grill, put on a few brats, and make fun of Jeff Sackmann's reading list.

While you're at it, though, no reason you shouldn't have the game on as well. And this is nothing if not a big, big series. Consider:

It's Ryan Braun's homecoming! What better way to endear yourself to the drunken masses than with a walk-off home run?
It's time to prove the skeptics wrong. You know that all around baseball, people weren't taking the Cream City Crushers' fast start very seriously. After a 24-10 start, we've scuffled to 4-12 out of our last 16. Time to right the ship, and demonstrate to the naysayers why we have a 5-game lead in the NL Central.
Best of all, it's Ned Yost vs. Bobby Cox. The only thing Ned likes better than filling out a lineup without inking Corey Hart's name is besting his old mentor, Bobby Cox. History might be on our side as well: The Brewers are an NL-best 17-7 at home, plus we went 4-2 against the Braves last season, winning all three at home. Moreover, of late, the Braves have been just as stinky as the Crew: they've lost 10 of 14, and were just swept by the Phillies in Atlanta.

Some linqy-linqs:

Our SB Nation sister site, Talkin' Chop, well, they don't seem to be well-prepared for today's game. Moving on...
Chop-n-Change are also too busy moping to notice that we have a game today. There's no crying in baseball! It's worth checking out if only because Kristi Dosh is pretty.
DixieFlatline is on the case, dawg.

Now, man up, boys! If you want to get back on a winning streak, you have to go up there and try not to do too much with it! Take it the other way, if that's what they're giving you, and don't try to pull the ball! And, will someone please scored a g-d run?!?! Play ball!

Hello,
I am a MLBTV customer; and your Dick's ad is running every 5 minutes to a point where I am going insane. I think you guys might want to cut down on the frequency so you don't get a backlash. I am muting it every time it comes on and am thinking about boycotting Dick's all together. Please look into this; this is not good advertising.

That was discouraging

Where did our bats go?

Yikes

Is May over yet? It's a joke that we're still up in the NL Central.

6th best record in the league now

Still probably 5 games up in the central.

Smoltz and Hudson next

If we couldn't score against James I wonder how many we will score the next two games.

Stats

How many were left on base in scoring position and how many k's did our hitters have?

8 LOB

Can't tell how many RiSP but at least 3.

It's a funny game

. . . and the greatest game.
Ya just never know from day to day.
Here's to knocking out Smoltz in the 2nd; and KO'ing Hudson in the 3rd!!!

I'll drink to that!

Remeber the soldiers today!!
