Game Thread #44: Brewers (NSFW) at Red Sox (26-19)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads

The matchup is Carlos Villanueva and Josh Beckett.  No, that's not lopsided at all!

Here's the BR Game Preview.   Fun fact of the day: In 14 PAs, David Ortiz has a 2.615 OPS against Seth McClung, including three homers in consecutive at-bats against him.  Wow.  Bring on DiFelice!

Game time is 12:35 CT.

Go Brewers!

ha

i haven’t been posting winexp for a while, but this one would be particularly depressing.

Also, cheese.

Beckett, eh?

Let’s send out the sunday lineup on this one. Cameron, Weeks and Hall aren’t going to have a lot of fun out there.

Brewers record

I see Jeff is trying to increase site traffic with today’s Brewers’ record. Imagine some poor teenager doing his first Google search for NSFW and ending up here!

mlb.tv alert!

The Cle/Cin feed is going to have an interview with Dusty Baker in a couple minutes, perhaps with bonus footage of Dusty stomping on Edinson Volquez’s shoulder as he sleeps!

Yikes

Beckett’s getting some room low. That’s bad news for Brewers hitters.

Cameron double

The Brewers aren’t going to give him the K record…he’ll have to earn it.

Braun

on fire. Finally a good start to a game!

A lead. How long before Villy destroys the good feelings I have right now.

Depends...

We’ll have to have a heart to heart though. The Brewers never take me out anymore, and they never buy me flowers. When’s the last time they told me that they love me?

by SgtClueLs on May 18, 2008 12:53 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

mmm...

Delicious post season. Maybe I’ll give them a chance.

We could try

But Jeff Suppan would probably appear in several commercials calling for a ban.

Weirdest thing I've heard today

I think he is a Packers fan also

yep

Played the whole season in 1996.

I think it’s weird because I grew up there, and can’t stand the idea of actually living there :)

FSN

Is anyone else having audio problems?

Nope

Ok on UVerse. But I don’t get FSN HD so I’m bitter about the TBS-HD black out.

I do have FSN HD, and it's fine

Beckett’s K record is on track

Huh

No HD on this end—the announcer mics sound way low

about him being on the hot seat

only they called it “spotlight” and refuse to call it hot seat. Of course one point they brought up was the 24 news cycle and blogs. So I guess it’s our fault the Brewers have underperformed so far this year.

I suppose

I’m no huge Yost fan, but it’s really not fair to give him all of the blame for 2008 so far. Some has to go to the players, some to the GM (too many righties?), and just some bad luck (Yo).

Speaking from a position of authority

As an anonymous, hate-filled Internet blogger from firenedyost.com: None of this season has been Yost’s fault.

by Marty McSuperFly on May 18, 2008 1:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

agreed

he hasn’t been bad this year outside of his quotes and interviews. My signature has more to do with the Crew’s slow start.

Thanks for the heads up on the TBS broadcast. RD is pretty good.

it is cool

to get the “national” take on the Brewers so I like having the games on ESPN and TBS every once in a while.

How many times are we going to try to be overly aggressive on the pads?

Clear the bases

We just don’t want Rickie clogging up the bases when Braun is at bat. Like that kids any good…

Down 1 run, that’s practically a win for the Brewers this year.
