some runners would be nice

We don't need runners
We need runs, we get the runners all the time.

Joe Dillon hits go-ahead home run...
in the 25th inning. After Seth McCClung throws 13 perfect innings.
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"
The best part
He gets the last strike out of the game on a perfectly thrown gyroball.
He's the round mound of profound
4 run, ninth inning rally consisting entirely of HBP
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"
that would be awesome

There was a pitcher for the Pirates in the 70s who thought they team needed to stop fearing the Reds. So the first game he started against the reds, he proceeded to drill the first three or four reds in order.
He's the round mound of profound
Yeah
Dock Ellis was crazy in a lot of ways: here’s the game.

For those that are watching....
Rich Hill was never on the verge of retirement. I am quite certain of this fact.
That could also be true, but I meant
the Brewers announcers were claiming that Rich Hill was on the verge of retiring.

Why is it that we don't play Kapler, again?
I don’t see the Cameron magic everybody promised.

Fielder's catching seems to be better lately
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
Stetter
Why does it seem like he’s the only Brewers RP that knows how to get outs anymore.
He's the round mound of profound
Brad Nelson
He looks like he has a fat head. If he gets called up, maybe he could use Mench’s old hats.
He's the round mound of profound
Looking at the Brewers fatheads
They only have one for Prince… I was hoping they’d have Shouse.

Another Fun Shouse fact
He’s mentioned on the “Designated for Assignment” wikipedia page.
He's the round mound of profound
I saw Shouse at a grocery store in Racine last year
His son was amazed at the many varieties of Smirnoff Ice I was pulling around on my pallet.
He's extremely quick and good.
there is no limit
to the number of fun shouse facts.
it’s amazing.

Any fact involving Shouse
is a fun one

I wonder
Has anyone reached that site by googling “Mother Theresa’s house”

Unfortunately
The whole main page is an image, so there is no text to register in Google. Or so I think. I found that site by googling “Brian Shouse Fan Club” one day last year.

Hopefully Mota can end this inning quickly
I doubt we’ll be able to pull off a win though

If he gets hot, I’d trade him, and call up Escobar, but Brewers T-Shirt sales might drop dramatically if they do that.

You've committed one of the classic blunders!
The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never admit you are a girl on the internet!
He's extremely quick and good.
Nice try.
Happily taken though.

Oh no no no
Prince has that baby cute thing to him, and Braun is okay, but really none of them are lookers.

Do you mean Milwaukee isn't deluged in Counsell fangirls?
I seem to be under a mistaken impression then.
If this doesn't end well...
(And I hope it does, but I fear it might not.)
Do yourself a favor: Go see Iron Man.

No, you've got it all wrong
The 2008 World Series between the Brewers and the Devil Rays is an epic showdown, even though the Brewers only have four pitchers healthy enough to be on the active roster. In the first three games, three of the four healthy pitchers the Brewers have- Sheets, Gallardo, and Parra- are injured, and the Brewers lose each game.
Down 0-3 in the series, Milwaukee evens the series at 3-3 after back-to-back-to-back perfect games by righthander Seth McClung. The Brewers score 1 run in each of the three games on solo home runs by McClung. Unfortunately, after game six, McClung leaves Miller Park to go home for the night and is struck and subsequently injured by a baseball descending from orbit that is found to be a home run ball that Prince Fielder hit on May 19, 2006, that had never come down.
With no pitchers available, the Brewers turn to Bill Hall to pitch in game seven. He pitches a complete game and gives up fifteen runs. Fortunately, Russell Branyan, who is subbing at third for Hall, hits three grand slams in his first three at-bats and hits a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to win the World Series.
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"
i think you've just written the treatment
of the next hollywood blockbuster.

i cannot believe
that game came in at 3:07. if I was watching it and didn’t have a clock, i would’ve guessed 3:30, easy.
Also, cheese.
Last three innings were pretty quick
Not that that’s particularly desirable when you’re down 6-2 before those three innings…
true.
and there were only 8.5 of them.
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on May 3, 2008 9:15 PM CDT up reply actions
losing is painful
and there was only that one big inning

Silver Lining
With the way they’ve been playing, the Brewers will get plenty of rest during the All Star Break, before they begin their Rockies-like race for the World Series.
