So long, St. Louis
First off, congratulations on your victory tonight and salvaging a split of the two-game series. It was a big game for you guys and you answered the call against the Brewers bullpen.
Now that that’s out of the way, it’s really too bad you’ve been through the indignity of seeing the Brewers team untuck their uniforms on your home field five times in the past month — again, congrats on avoiding a sixth. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we’re not sure exactly what the big deal is with that, but at least it’s over now, right? Is it safe to assume you’re glad you don’t have to deal with hitters watching those late home runs go out and pumping fists in celebration after getting a big out? Watching the Brewers for the past decade lets me appreciate just how galling that stuff can be after a loss.
In any event, your hometown nine’s behavior has given me a new perspective on what is and isn’t acceptable on a baseball field. I guess it’s okay to slam helmets down in frustration and yell at opposing players who show emotion after a triumph. While the Brewers haven’t had much frustration (tonight excepted) in Busch Stadium since the All-Star break, there will be frustrating situations in the future and it’s good to know emotion and/or losing one’s cool is tolerated then. You’ve made it clear it’s not allowed in moments of success.
The last month of the regular season promises to be a good one. The schedule-makers didn’t plan things well when they slated the final Brewers-Cardinals series in August, but what can you do? Best of luck in your final thirty-odd games. Hopefully there’s some aspect of your future opponent’s style of play that grates on you and spurs your team to a .500 record against them as well.
Farewell, and see you in 2009.

Always so classy

So this is what you're like when you're angry
Massive missives. I like it.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
don't forget
whiny tantrums when an umpire calls a strike on a ball in the very middle of the strike zone and the beaning for whatever upsets Don Tony’s drunken, bitter mind.
I missed tonight’s game thread because for some reason, the place where I am at night blocks BCB now. However, I did not miss tonight’s game and I’m still steamed.
The Brewers bullpen is still barely used and yet Riske and Shouse pitch two nights in a row? While a pitcher with an excellent record pitching against St. Louis, especially in Busch Stadium, sits in the dugout languishing (or throwing gum, if the game thread’s any indication.) sigh.
The place where you are at night?
That sounds mysterious. Are you blogging from the bullpen? Are you Seth McClung?

I think we've had this discussion before, and I think you're right
Tues: George (34, throw) Mon: George 3 E (33, throwing, throwing, throwing)
My suspicions have been confirmed
Tues: George (34, throw) Mon: George 3 E (33, throwing, throwing, throwing)
I’m trying to avoid saying I’m slacking at …that place that begins with W and ends in K and has 4 letters and isn’t paying me to listen to Bob and Jim in the background (if I’m lucky enough to pull the game in) while I talk to people on the telephone.
Begins with W, four letters long, ends in K...
You hang out at a radio or TV station? :)

snerk You’re kind of close there as to what industry I work in (oops, I said the 4-letter word.)
In any case, Minnesota is into K territory with call letters ;)
Gagne was gone tonight
To be with his wife in Phoenix. Otherwise he would’ve probably started the eighth. McClung may have pitched well in the past in St. Louis, but he’s done nothing in the short time since moving to the bullpen to suggest he should pitch in that situation.

Exactly, that's how she got pregnant in the first place

In Short
Would have been nice to win tonight. Would have also been nice if I didn’t break my ankle and gotten the new Lancer I was off to get at the dealership.
Still got a month, sadly, still got to get some kinks out.

Clearly
But I wanted to ask someone if they knew my cousin, since they’re at UC Davis… and it’s really not THAT big.

um...do i have a stalker?
how do you know someone is at UC Davis anyway?
But for the most part, I don’t know the undergrads, as I went to Madison for my undergrad.

I officially retract any innuendo.
