SBNation coverage
After yesterday's dreadful drubbing, the Brewers had had it with these monkey-fightin' snakes and turned in perhaps their best game of the young season.
Looper was refreshingly non-disastrous, if not dazzling; he failed to strike anyone out and gave up several hard-hit balls that found homes in Brewer leather, but at the end of the day allowed only seven baserunners in his six innings. After similarly quiet innings from Mark DiFelice and Carlos Villanueva, Todd "Two Cups of" Coffey sprinted in for and converted his first proper save, though his scoreless streak ended with Jayson Werth's long ball and he allowed the winning run to come to plate.
Mike Cameron was the hero at the plate for Milwaukee, converting a sixth-inning rally with a two-out, two-run double behind Corey Hart's infield hit and one of Ryan Braun's two walks. An inning earlier, J.J. Hardy had put the Crew on the board with a solo homer to left.
Though they narrowly missed notching their first shutout, tonight was the first time all year the Brewers had not trailed in a game, and tomorrow they'll go for another first: first series victory.

Coffey just had to fuck with me.

I can't aim my replies either
Time to drink more beer.

Coffey is for closers.
I love all things Coffey.

Wow BK.
Cranked that summary out in .75 seconds.
Or you’re just an optimist.

That a very respectable percentage
You were referring to someone BA right?

Nah, the team winning percentage
Cameron got to .333 with his double in the 6th but fell to .326 after his 9th inning K.

Sorry, that was a sarcastic question… sort of like “Kendall is a great hitter, right?” Sarcasm just doesn’t translate well over the internet.

Well, that was insightful.

The Rays are also 5-9
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Durham and King?
I thought the round one was taller. :)

It's probably just the camera angle,
but on Gameday Coffee’s fastball had this nasty tail, but you couldn’t really see it on TV. Also the guys on the MLB channel thought he was McClung.

If you're still hungry for more baseball
Head over to Red Reporter and help them cheer against the Cubs; Cincinnati’s up 1-0 in the 7th.

Cueto having a day
He not only is the top win % for his pitching. He is leading the Reds tonight as the top win % hitter.
I liked it when BA said, "Coffey is in hot water here".

I really hope someone else gets this, because it is quite funny

It's funny because he was thinking about hitting the hot tub after sprinting so much
…right?

Interesting post-game interview of Macha
The reason behind the JJ/Cameron lineup switch was to try to getter protection for Prince, in the hope to get Fielder some better pitches to hit. (Cameron has better numbers against Blanton, I guess.)

nice job folks:
“Frustrated walk conversation and walk occasional cursing walk about the walk Milwaukee Brewers”
that is funny, to me.
And...fly it!
