Well, I can't really say much about the game, since I was at work. We lost though, so it couldn't have been that exciting wasn't that good. Jesus Colome got struck on the hand and left the game with a bruised pinky finger. For a play-by-play recap of what happened at Miller Park tonight, go visit the STATS site.

Me too

We left after the Padres 18th hit.

So, for the rest of the season can we expect a beat down every 3 or 4 games?

by Zorakathura on Aug 12, 2009 12:54 AM CDT via mobile reply actions

I think the formula goes something like this:

Game 1: Get beat down badly.
Game 2: Just barely lose. Good pitching, but couldn’t score more than 2-3 runs.
Game 3: Just barely lose. Shooting match, 15-13 type scores.
Game 4: Win by a landslide.
Game 5: Win a squeeker (and that’s with 4 E’s), due to GRIT and a bullpen that manages to not implode that night, in spite of their best efforts. (Preferably leave the bases loaded in the last inning).

There’s bound to be some randomization, but that should be just about every 5 games.

Sounds about right.

Game 1: Get beat down badly [by a horrible team}

Brewers fan lost in South Carolina.

So we'll get good pitching from Villanueva?

There's no need for it to repeat in sequence.

Merely every 5 games will have a randomized order of these events.

ah,

nice

Lopez

There were a lot of Murmurings of Disenchantment™ when Lopez didn’t dive for the ball somewhere around the 5th inning, a runner who eventually came around to score. I didn’t see any replays of it, though - could he have had it?

Also, I never noticed before that above the giant clock in the stadium are 5 circular lights, each with a Racing Sausage on it. After the race, they turn on the light of the winning sausage.

in the replays

it looked like something he should have gotten a glove on. my guess is there’s still a hamstring issue going on.

I think he just didn't want to dive

Macha made sure to mention there wasn’t a hamstring issue

At least this season died* with the Brewers doing what they love . . .

namely, giving up a lot of runs to bad teams.

*I say died because this was the game that convinced me that there is no hope for this team to be a playoff contender.

by tosabrewfan on Aug 12, 2009 8:24 AM CDT reply actions

Agreed

It’s just time to play for the love of the game and worry about strategy for the off-season.

Play for the love of the millions, not the love of the game.

Someone is a little too pessimistic

Nah. Their job is to play for the playoffs, once they realize that's not an option, you think they'll put forth an A+ effort (why start now, right?)

by Mykenk on Aug 12, 2009 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions

Hell

Hart has been lollygagging all year, why start trying?

"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."

All year? All career, try.

and what a quack diagnosis to get him some time off. appendectomy? who has those anymore?
