Game Thread #110: Brewers at Astros (54-55 each)

Tiny by PagsBrewCrew on Comment 243 comments

So, the winner of this matchup gets up to .500.  Someone pitches against someone else and some of our relievers were used last night.  Further, we're sending 8 guys plus a pitcher to bat against Coop's squad.


Star-divide

Hey, at least I created a post:P

Random filler to get the word count up, as I'm too lazy to copy-paste lineups or any other such filth.

Go Brewers Go dammit.  Sock some homers.  Win one for the gipper.

You and me both

It’s a rough spot for the team, with Lopez, Hardy, Counsell, and McGehee, 4 players for 3 spots, with each making their case for more play time (though Hardy has certainly been streaky… as he’s proving right now)

Sorry...got pulled away

On that at-bat, where Prince was apparently arguing the strike call, they said something to the effect of, “Well, gee, Prince, that’s because he got you with a swinging strike.”

Last night was a half-inning of them inaccurately rehashing the Dodgers incident and calling him an immature hothead.
