I clicked results to see how the polling was going

Purely in the interests of the Brewers
I’ve replaced Wandy with Wangy.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

Rec'd
For the poll, of course.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
It's like people think we are gonna lose or something
Need I remind everyone that the Brewers have 20 comeback wins?
Very True
But at least he was within 10 feet of the ball. Soriano would’ve been farther away than the CFer.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

By "best stuff"
apparently I meant “YoGa will get replaced as soon as the overflow game thread starts.”
"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!"
Maybe
Big Red is Gallardo’s “best stuff”

If this keeps up
Managers will intentionally write up bad lineup cards.

nice first start back
for Chris Carpenter tonight: 5 scoreless.
I feel like you could make that catch on
If you abbreviated better. Observe:
Blum: Clung’d.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
And if he hits a guy
Blum: Clunked

Wandy is up next
Lets hope they pinch hit for him so the Brewers can get a crack at that Astro’s bullpen
Wandy Rodriguez
Bats from whatever side of the plate he wants, whenever he wants. Weird-school.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
And it appears to be working for him.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
TheJay, maybe you'll remember
What was Wandy’s name before they discovered he was lying and he was really Wandy Rodriguez?
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Or am I thinking of someone else?
His Wikipedia page has no mention of it.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Gallardo was too concerned about American Idol results to pitch
"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!"
I made fun of Idol on Twitter early in the game.
We’ve lost a few followers since then.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Ryan Braun is the King of Meatloaf!
"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!"
Hey now,
That’s my title, or at least it will be once this recipe catches on.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
If he swaggers enough, he'll be the King of Pain
And he won’t have a choice in walk-up music anymore.

Dear J.J. Hardy,
Please try not to be so goddamn slow.
Sincerely,
KL
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Oh not this again
We already had a bunch of letters to J.J. last year.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Khalil Greene batting for the Cards
So much for getting some time off to deal with his anxiety.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
I thought time off meant out of the starting lineup in this case
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
McGehee
loses his bat again?! What is that the third time this year? With limited playing time!
"my goodness"
Casey McGehee
Currently leading the race for game MVP.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Yoga's last 3 starts have been underwhelming
A short outing against the Cubs, the makings of a poor outing against the Cardinals and now a poor outing against the Astros. I suppose it’s still too early to get worried, because the Cubs and Cardinals are good teams.
McGehee in the lineup
It’s not because of that (BA’s odd logic) that Rivera is more likely to PH here. It’s because Rivera is the only RH on the bench.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
"That" meaning McGehee's the emergency catcher
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
That's what the Astros guys said
(And also, McClung, he bats left—not that hitting against lefties has been an issue with him, oh no)
We have to be careful.
He might need 5 days rest after this!

Kris Allen is your new American Idol
He’s the one with the live wife, the woman’s name, and gives the mic a velveteen rub every time he sings.
I’m going to write this week’s mailbag and get into the game.
I’ve seen there isn’t much to cheer so far
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "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."
give him an accoustic guitar
and you can find him in Potbelly’s every saturday

Yahtzee!
My wife just won $60 in her American Idol office pool.
"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!"
good for her...
I’ve had a rough day on the wife front, so I’m going to write my article, and then lose myself in the game.

Now that you're done with Idol
Isn’t there an episode of Real Housewives of _______ you should be watching? ;-)
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
She found your inflatable Ned Yost doll?

Tagging up fail

J.J. Hardy saved him.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Well
Now I won’t have to worry about how I display the last time he played in tomorrow’s game thread.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Alright, Julio is in
goodnight everybody. Have a good one! :)
"This one means 'Kill Kirk!!!!'... And also, 'hallelujah'... Depending on the context."
Why is he still on the team?
Macha seems afraid to use him for anything other than mop-up duty, and he can barely do that. Swindle would probably be much more useful.
"my goodness"

He'll start that up swing any day now
At least it’s a simple decision who to jettison when Riske is back.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
It's ok, everyone
Casey McGehee is batting 7th, so he’s assured one more AB.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
if ground level wasn't above me, I'd be hurling myself out of my window right now
…and no, it’s not my mom’s basement. But it is a basement, despite it being the “first floor”.

Julio threw four straight strikes
Gotta be a season record for him.

getaway day
Crew is getting hosed with a night game tomorrow
Better than Sunday night to a Monday day game this weekend
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Julio pitched two clean innings?
I get it—this is an opposite game. Everyone who sucks is made good and vice versa. So really it’s a good thing the Crew is losing—just shows how good of a team they are normally

Julio pitched two innings
But they were scoreless despite his best efforts.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
True
But I think that’s as close as Julio can possibly get to a “clean” inning
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
BA making crap up
Yeah, McGehee was one of Macha’s favorites off the bench.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
McGehee is one of Macha's favorites off the bench?
since when? He hardly used him at all before he had to with Rickie being out?
"my goodness"
He was totally the #1 option if a lefty was on the mound and Counsell had PH already

UNTU... oh, wait
tonight’s been really depressing, so I’m going to call it a night. Have a good one.

I considered it
But I’m voting no, unless the Brewers also win.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
actually...it is
Counsell and Gamel are on the bench. Gamel here, McGehee takes over behind the plate if need-be
by PagsBrewCrew on May 20, 2009 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Tempting, but
I’m not too keen on McGehee appearing behind the plate for the first time in this game.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
sample size
wouldn’t you have rather have had gamel do that with no outs and have counsell up here?:P

this was not a save

Yeah, it was one of those where the tying run was on deck when he came in
