MVP: Prince Fielder (+.204)
LVP: Tim Dillard (-.357)
I stayed up all night for this?
This game looked like it'd be a fun one for the first few innings. Braden Looper allowed a first inning run to the Padres, but the Brewers responded with seven runs in the top half of the second, their highest-scoring inning of the season. Looper, however, couldn't hold the lead, and gave up his 25th and 26th home runs of the season (setting a new career high), allowing the Padres to close the gap to 7-6. Tim Dillard followed Looper to the mound and poured gasoline on the fire, allowing three runs in the sixth while retiring just one batter.
The second inning was a nice offensive explosion for the Brewers, but it could have been much better. With the bases loaded and no one out, both J.J. Hardy and Jason Kendall struck out, and the entire inning would have been negated if not for Looper's two run single that sparked a rally. In an inning where the Brewers sent 13 batters to the plate, Hardy made two outs, both with the bases loaded.
Prince Fielder reached base his first four trips to the plate and went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk for the Brewers, scoring a run and driving in two more. Amazingly, in a game where the Brewers scored seven runs, Corey Hart was the only other Brewer with multiple hits.

Did my post really just serve as a cross-over

tomorrow morning, I probably couldn't kick it
Right now though, I’d play soccer with it
Even with how pissed I am, I couldn't kick a baby bunny
…that’s what I get for having matching chromosomes.
Fielder was 3-4
he made the first out in the 9th, not that it really matters. The point is outside of the second we couldn’t buy a hit

fielder went 3-4 i thought
with the lineout in the 9th

Um...Packers training camp starts on Saturday?
Which means all Green Bay TV stations will be following the team so closely they’ll know when the players make use of the facilities?
that comes really really close
but then i remember they have peterson and we can’t stop the run

i think we went to a 3-4 just so we had an extra guy to make sure he didnt go beyond 20 yards each attempt

that's who i saw
wearing the ridiculous clothes and sideways hat in the press box.
scary thing if Looper does not get a hit there
They would have been shut out
can we call tonight officially rock bottom I mean it is just getting hard to spend the time to watch this team play.
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
I swore
rock bottom was watching McClung leave the game with his glove over his face. I for some misguided reason keep thinking this team has one more good streak in them. I’m losing faith, but I have good/ bad feeling that they are going to cling by their fingernails and not be eliminated until the last 7-10 days.

I agree completely with everything you said
I was at the Sunday game against the Braves where we got blown out and the Monday game against the Nats where we gave up two grand slams to the same stupid guy in the same game, and I thought to myself, “well, this is rock bottom, I’ve never been to two more miserable games in my life.” Then we won two games, and I was feeling like we could win maybe 15 of the next 20, and really be in it. I’m getting married in a week now, and the team might just be saving me the effort and bribes it would take to listen to the games on our honeymoon. This is just agonizing.
Did we have a six run lead a one pt?
And then blow it? I was trying to follow along on my crackberry but wasn’t watching much.

isn't this at least the second time that Hardy has made two outs in one inning this season
I am almost positive he did it earlier in the year.

yes
check the game thread from last night under the first green rec’d comment
