Lineup
Counsell is batting second and some guy named Rivera(?) is catching and batting eighth. (link)

Day off
Living in the Twin Cities, I am wondering where the Brewers may be hanging out tomorrow in Minneapolis on their day off. I’m guessing I won’t see Prince at the famous Murray’s Steakhouse downtown. Molitorfan or any other Minnesotans, any guesses?
I know this isn't really what you were asking
But I always liked Thai places (Tum Rup Thai, True Thai, Sawatdee) and Pizza Luce for vegetarian fare.
He's extremely quick and good.
So no more gangbang?
I was actually starting to warm up to the gangbang. Was this discussed already and I am late to the party?
You have no concept
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
Point of reference
What’s the origin of “you have no concept?” I missed out on the “emersed” joke and demand that someone bring me up to speed.

Ned comment
“That’s not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer,” Yost said.
That may be true, but doesn’t the math make him an unlikely run-scorer?
“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter,” Yost told reporters. “See, you guys have no concept. He’s a run-scorer. So there’s nothing weird about it. That’s what he does.”
and "whatever that is" "whoever that is" etc
is a Tom Hardricortism.

Yeah
I’m always torn on that sort of thing.
What actually tipped the scales is that you’re getting all these interviews, and trying to get more. I don’t want some minor league pr guy to talk to you, then see you write for a site calling itself a gangbang. I don’t try very hard to be “official,” nor will I ever, but I probably shouldn’t actively antagonize people like that.
Also, cheese.

Brew Crew Ball: The Unofficial Interactive Gangbang of the Milwaukee Brewers
He's extremely quick and good.
Exactly
as long as kirbir is here, only so much will change.

Whoo!
Go me!
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
I originally read that as "Goo me!"
That would definitely earn an R rating.
He's extremely quick and good.
What're you thinking about?
:-P
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden

do you really have to ask?

But that always leaves everything so slimey
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
Did you read the danger area?
Harmful or fatal if swallowed
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
well, if there was swallowing
then that stuff isn’t needed anyway.

And it's biodegradable
Good job
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden

I've got some scintillation fluid
that has the same “safe and effective” label.
of course, if you let some drip on a tabletop, by morning there will be no more table.

jim powell
regarding the national anthem???
“i hope you weren’t eating during that.”
anyone else wondering what he meant by that?
go get em' seth!
I think he's been spending too much time with Ueck
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
I agree
It was the worst anthem I’ve heard in a long time. Switched keys (drastically) about 5 times.
ha! i guess i didn't notice it being that bad. thats funny...
go get em' seth!

remember
Mark Grace’s 7th inning stretch at Wrigley about a month ago?
now that was truly awful

Time-Warner commercial
That’s funny, we’re all tired of waiting for Bill Hall too.
He's extremely quick and good.
Speaking of that..
All my friends had TWC and always commented about the “Get your roll on” commercial (Some low budget auto repair commercial) with a horrible rap in it.
I’ve been diligently watching commercials to become “in the know” and have yet to see it. Know what they are talking about?
Nope, I haven't seen it
I’ll keep an eye out for it, though, but pretty much the only thing I watch live on TV is baseball.
He's extremely quick and good.
Post of the year
A: “I still think Peavy is better than Zambrano.”
B: “Thats because you aren’t properly valuing their offensive contributions. :)”
A: “And neck size to baby eating ratio.”
He's extremely quick and good.
So, on the tennis court this morning...
I actually broke a shoe. Ripped the toe right out.
Thought you’d like to know.

That's impressive
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
I've uh
torn the right side top off my right shoe before and gotten my foot rather bloody over the course of the next several hours (tennis tournament in high school).
but I’ve never lost an entire toe of shoe or self.
where’d you get your shoes? from a subway musician?
by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 25, 2008 12:49 PM CDT up reply actions
ha.
no, but I’m pretty brutal to tennis shoes. these were due to fall apart, I just wish I had switched to new shoes a day or two earlier.
Also, cheese.

did you make the shot?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Following up on TheJay's comment yesterday
Brewers starters have an ERA of 4.06 through yesterday’s game.
After the first inning, down to 4.05.
Also, cheese.
At least you can calculate an ERA
The French would just give up and have a tripe sausage.
He's extremely quick and good.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
nope

sure, so he says
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
So
If the team had lost the first two games of this series, would we be hearing about how they score early and then coast to the end?

I thought it was funny that Bill said winning without a hit from Prince was a testament to the offense
I was pretty sure it was a testament to the pitching.
He's extremely quick and good.
Kendall
I know he’s not playing, but he’s been hot lately: since the start of the Rockies series he’s hitting .345/.419/.473 in 62 PA.

When Brent Lillibridge is your backup...
Pretty much
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
So far this year
He’s hit like a 12-year-old, too.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
So he should watch out for Kendall?
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
Lillibridge really isn't that bad
His track record, before this year, is solid. He was considered a very good prospect. I wouldn’t lose any sleep playing him over Infante.
He's extremely quick and good.
Ouch
Do the Braves have any healthy infielders anymore?
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
by the end of this game
Lillibridge will be playing both second and short.
Also, cheese.

They must wish they still had Saltalamacchia.
With a name that long stretching across two positions should be easily done.

Braves announcer can't stop with the (accidental?) puns
“The Braves are really hamstrung…”
“Infante was really hitting his stride…”
Also, cheese.
That was a nice throw from Counsell
"Brett Favre looks like a man in a parking lot playing with boys." - John Madden
"Pujols just unloaded." - Bob Uecker
is it a dumb question to ask if...
chipper has any chance of being a Hall of Famer??
go get em' seth!
there have been a number of articles over the last couple of years
I think after this season (and presumably, another good one or two, but that really doesn’t matter), he’s a shoo-in.
maybe not first -ballot, but he’ll go in.
Also, cheese.

so my revised suggestion of KEG didn’t stick?

With that scorless inning
Brewers starters have just pulled ahead of D-Backs starters, and are 5th in the league.
Next up is the Padres, who really shouldn’t count. Park-adjusted, we’ve already passed them.
Also, cheese.
Haha
I know what you mean, it’s just funny phrased that way. Those are the kind of sentences that will prevent us from ever being taken seriously in an MLB locker room, even though phrased even slightly more vaguely, it would be Common Knowledge.
He's extremely quick and good.
I wonder how that back of the ticket disclaimer will hold up when someone sues
He's extremely quick and good.
On that note, Rick Helling's minor league accident a few years ago
has seen a resurgence of mentions with the flurry of recent articles – though I wonder if that was actually with a maple bat (no article I’ve seen has said so explicitly).
Or its storming so bad he has no roof
by Getting Yosted on Jun 25, 2008 12:56 PM CDT up reply actions
Rickie's a run scorer.
You have no roof.

Got hit by a foul ball right on the knee

He’s a little too whiny for me.
“The hardest part of being suspended was not being able to play the game.” That’s the point isn’t it?

Only the Southeast corner of the state is getting any rain

Braves broadcast just showed the NL East teams' June records
Total 44-66 if I calculated correctly. Ouch.
You have the Poles working overtime
I hope you’re feeding them every couple of days.
He's extremely quick and good.
At any rate
Let’s wait and see if the lack of drive-by shootings continues past tonight’s Germany-Turkey soccer match.
meat.
someone asked me last night how much weight prince has lost this year as a result of becoming a vegetarian. any idea?
go get em' seth!
negative ten pounds?

"negative ten pounds"
Only if you’re being generous.
What has possessed kansas city?
9-1 in the last 10 games when they’re sitting in last place in their division?
What’s the deal. are they playing some real slumpers?
Braun
no wonder he didn’t come out to see Kirbir…If he had he wouldn’t have been able to keep those hands off, and would have aggravated his injury. Way to take one for the team Kirbir!
Stupid Ryan
He needs to ease off the alone time, otherwise his hand is just gonna keep getting sorer…

AZL Brewers are facing a pitcher named Ariel Alcantara
He was born in the same city as Izzy. Wonder if they’re related.
He's extremely quick and good.
no...i blame Yost and/or Maddox
no coaches’ visit yet.
by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 25, 2008 1:38 PM CDT up reply actions
they're probably thinking
...if we pull him before 5, he can’t get the win! And starters need the win.
by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 25, 2008 1:39 PM CDT up reply actions
"Everything on the ground seems to be scooting through the infield"
Possibly because they’re hitting them hard, Rock?
He's extremely quick and good.
ummm
Are we allowed to bring in relief pitchers on day games?
On thus plus side
Suppan has gone over twice as long as he did last time.
He's extremely quick and good.
so next game he will go the distance ...
is what your telling me?
by BrewerBlue87 on Jun 25, 2008 1:41 PM CDT up reply actions
83 pitches and a day off tomorrow
plus the Brewers site tells us that reinforcements are on the way.
No more Suppan today puh-leaaaze.
I posted this in the Odorizzi interview thread, but it's worth reposting here
He's extremely quick and good.
Nice view :)

Why did the Brewers lose?
A. How many times were there runners in scoring position who didn’t come around to score? [insert stock complaint about RISP hitting]
B. Prince Fielder. Not getting a hit in twelve at-bats this series and 0-4 today? [obligatory “needs meat” statement]
C. Jeff Suppan. [length of contract kvetching]
D. Road sweep pressure got to them. [obsession about road losses goes here]
E. They lost. Of course it’s a Yosting. He’s the guy who made the lineup that only scored two runs, right?
F. Ben Sheets. Talking about testing free agency was bad juju. Everyone knows only selfish ballplayers even think about their future, much less talk openly about it.
G. The umpires. Presumably Ned Yost said something to them once and thus they were predisposed against the Crew today.
H. Who knows or cares? They won’t win them all.

I believe it was Lasorda that said it best
You’re gonna win 40 games & lose 40 games. Its what you do with the other 82 that matters most.
