Rockies 9, Brewers 2

by KLSnow on Oct 1, 2009 5:11 PM CDT in WPA Game Recaps Comment 8 comments

W: Aaron Cook (11-6)
L: Manny Parra (11-11)

HR: Ryan Braun (31), Brad Hawpe (22)

MVP: Prince Fielder (+.036)
LVP: Manny Parra (-.275)

Manny Parra...*sigh.*

This one was over early, as Manny Parra allowed five earned runs on six hits and five walks in just 2.2 innings, including walking Aaron Cook, the opposing pitcher, with the bases loaded, TWICE. (John Axford would later do it a third time.)

At the plate, the Brewers managed just five hits, one of them being a solo home run by Ryan Braun. Prince Fielder and Mike Cameron (who finished with two doubles) reached in the ninth to drive in a second run and become the only Brewers to reach base twice in the game as the Brewers managed just one walk and an HBP to go with those hits.

With the loss, the Brewers clinched a losing season and the Rockies clinched the NL Wild Card.

Congrats, Rockies

I’m jealous of your celebration.

It looks to me like Parra walked in a run to Cook and Fowler, then Axford walked Cook in again.

10 things to root for this weekend

Prince to hit .300 (.298)
Prince to win the RBI title (tied with Howard at 138)
Strong finish by McGehee to get ROY recognition/votes/award.
Braun to get 200 hits (197)
HR title for Prince (44 to 47 for Pujols)
Prince to get 1.000 OPS (1.002)
Annoy the Cardinals by untucking
Trevor Hoffman
McClung/Gamel/Rivera to play (10 is harder than I thought)
Wear out the Cardinal bullpen leading into the playoffs

Interesting maybe only me

Considering the Brewer offense has not been the problem (4.75 runs per game) I thought it was interesting that only 4 Brewers have enough ABs to qualify for the batting title (and one of them is Kendall).

Clearly wasn’t the outcome us Dodger fans were hoping for. But I thank you guys for letting us hang out in your chat room today, and wish you all the best in 2010!

Losers again

Math is no longer on our side to at-least get .500

Nice to see them put up a fight at the end of the season

Parra finishes fifth on this list.

You know me Al.

This place is a graveyard

Having troubles with wrapping my mind around Kirbir listening to T.I.
