PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, Sep 21, 2008 12:15 PM CDT
With every passing sloppy game, we get a little closer to mathematical elimination and early October tee times. I guess, on the bright side, the longer the offseason, the more stories Bob will have to tell instead of doing play-by-play.
Today, we put our hopes behind Seth McClung. If he's lucky, all the other guys on the team will score a run or two, and they won't cough up more than that with the gloves. The Reds are throwing Bronson Arroyo, who has rebounded nicely after a very rough start. In fact, he's got a 2.17 ERA in his last seven starts, the last six of the quality variety, and he's shut us down twice in a row.
Game time is 12:15 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.
One day, the dream will come true.
Captian of the Titanic
What is that big white thing?
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
It's a big snow-cone of love...
… and hits with runners in scoring position.
I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

Whatever indeed
I’ll be watching the NFL today.
Me too, I'm afraid.
But I’ll spare enough time for the “Let me just check the score of the Brew…. god dammit” moments throughout the afternoon.

With the way things have been going
Arroyo no hitter?
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
Corey gidp again
I wonder what the difference in pay would be if his second half was like his first half instead of what he did.
Astros in Milwaukee
Selig bought an ad to explain why the games were in Milwaukee
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
I am tired of all the fans nationwide who still think Bud owns the brewers
and that everything he does is to aid them. Take a look at our history 27 years without playoff baseball do you think if Bud was pulling strings for us that would have happened
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
Fielder and Kendall
should get turns in the rotation.
One hot, one with too damn much grit for our own good!
Btw, with that coughing of Fielder, would a chest x-ray be able to see his lungs….

Arroyo has been pretty dominant over the last month.
i say that as they clear the bases.

you'd think this was the first time these guys had seen Arroyo
i don’t know if anyone collects statistics for swinging strikes on pitches outside the strike zone, but they are having a hell of a day today
In the Brewers defense
Arroyo has been confusing everyone lately.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
Corey up with RISP
Somehow this will end in a DP
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
That's been my suspicion as well.
That cough looks identical to the one caused by my own asthma, not to mention the coughs I’ve seen from other asthma sufferers.

Undoubtedly
It also ruins the love of running

Too right that is.

amazing thing is as bad as they have been they are not dead
but Bobbie is mad at Brewers Management so I wonder if he will try to win? lol
If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right
I'm calling it
McClung = Stopper.
"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!"
Only pitcher on our staff who’d get pulled while pitching a shutout.
Although, hey, difference between Ned and Dale is here, if Dale really won’t let him give up 6 runs in an inning.
For a second
I thought McClung had cut his hair and went back out there.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
The real reason for Sheet's injury
Yost had Sheets, Sabathia, and Shouse help him pack up his things.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
I hope the Cubs roll out the same lineup next weekend ...
K Fukudome RF
R Cedeno SS
M Hoffpauir LF
D Ward 1B
M Fontenot 2B
F Pie CF
C McGehee 3B
K Hill C
R Dempster P
Gee.
I thought Lou said the Cubs owed it to baseball to put their best lineup out there. ’Bout time they benched ARam. That guy sucks. :)

Bases Loaded for Braun
Break the streak Braun!
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
You can do it!
You can do it all night long!

Let’s hope this IBB works out for the Reds like they seem to work out for us.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
So
Who started Miami’s Ronnie Brown in their Fantasy Football league?
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
I did. I benched AP because I thought he was going to miss his game...
… and the only guy I had left was Ronnie Brown. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart. If I had spent some time this morning I probably would have plugged AP back in and pulled Brown.

Escobar is so enduring
He’s even wears braces.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
Alcides with a bat - how about some time at 2nd?
You’d think the Brewers would front him the money to get those teeth fixed in the off season.
HR Gagne seems like a bad choice in a hitters park like Cin
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
I missed a lot of things
Most of them bad. I had to flush my system of the disappointment.
jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
A lot of country songs could fit the sound track for that. Misery and Gin by Merle Haggard could be one. Philly series kind of got the message home for me. Now, if something good happens, great.
wow
I only flip to the Bears/Bucs between innings and it has been boring, and now I do it and the Bucs tie it with 7 seconds.
C'mon last out!

Or a walk...

A Win! A Win! We need some sort of flag to fly.
We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!
