I had almost forgotten what winning feels like.
Staying up late to watch the Brewers play on the west coast is much more fun when they have nights like tonight, riding a nine run second inning to an easy victory.
If you went to bed early, yes, you're reading that right: The Brewers scored nine runs in the second inning on six hits, a walk and two HBP, chasing Clayton Kershaw from the game early. Two of those hits were home runs by Prince Fielder and Gregg Zaun. Zaun was near-perfect on the night, going 3-for-4 with that HBP and finishing a triple short of the cycle.
On the mound, Chris Narveson collected his first quality start of 2010, allowing three earned runs on just four hits and two walks, striking out three in six innings, and needing just 95 pitches to do so. He also collected a hit at the plate, as did every other member of the Brewers' starting lineup. He was followed to the mound by Claudio Vargas, who pitched a scoreless seventh, and Manny Parra, who allowed a three run home run to James Loney in the eighth. Todd Coffey pitched a scoreless ninth.

Man, this was much needed
And so schweeeet
Oh Rickie, you're so fine. You're so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Rickie! Hey Rickie!
We rented it when it came out
I didn’t pay much attention, because I was building a Lego town, but still.

Is it possible not to be a nerd if you've stuck through an entire game thread?

Not at all
Especially in a thread where Topperstix, Spanish, and alcohol preferences have been discussed

Still barely done anything!
It’s definitely not getting done until tomorrow.
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
Eh.
I define tomorrow as after I wake up. Which makes it interesting if I pull an all-nighter.
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
My fingers are so warm from blazing over the keys.
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
I think I've checked out for the night.
I’ll have about two hours of work time tomorrow prior to class. We’ll see how it goes.
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
OK.
Seriously. How does that make sense?

See, if there have to be unconventional metaphors, it just doesn't work.
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
That one was pretty good, Noah.
I agree with you on the TWSS being waaay over used and becoming tired, but that one made me laugh.

I have banning power..
I would probably get yelled at for using it, but I have it. :)
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
I disagree.
I will accept them when they are funny and not just the usual “Boy that was hard” one’s. That one just didn’t make sense to me, though.
When there is a truly funny twss, I will not be angry. Promise.
"Probably won't make a decision until after the decision starts"
I laughed.
Because your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash.

Well it sounded better than "crusin for a bruisin"

This was a good run
Enough runs that the win wasn’t in question, but we gave up enough that the Baseball Gods won’t curse us into getting shut-out the rest of the series.
Ryan Braun: He loves it. -- Zach Braddock Watch ('09-'10): 51.7 IP, 1.39 ERA, 0.812 WHIP, 14.6 K/9, 11 BB, 84 K
Good win, rather.

Hopefully daily.

Do you want him first up or Stetter?
Braddock’s numbers are gaudy, but Stetter is well-proven at the MLB level. We know which one the Brewers officials will call up if there’s room in the ‘pen. Narveson’s performance tonight will earn him at least two more starts. Is there room for Braddock?
Stetter has the advantage of already being on the 40-man roster
Which isn’t that big a concern given that they have an open spot and at least one guy to move to the 60-day DL, but it’s still something to think about.
Failure is just success rounded down.
I see what you guys were saying about Lost
This entire season has just been going in circles.
http://www.mlbsoup.com
Agreed
Everyone keeps switching sides. I can’t keep up with it anymore.
My goodness.

It's a JJ Abrams series...
I’m not usually the vindictive type, but I’ve spent years being amused by Lost fans who were actually looking forward to the resolution of the story. (Can’t say I’ve ever regretted jettisoning the series from my viewing schedule after the first season.)
It will be resolved
in the very last episode. This is a show that could have been two seasons but with its popularity they stretched it to 6 with alot of side stories. No skin off my back though, I’m actually impressed they have gone 6 years and nobody knows what’s going on yet. I can see how it would irritate the CSI and Law&Order people who need resolution in 1 hour or less.
Still bored? Read my hoffman analysis.
Everyone around here pretty much beat me to the punch, though. It’s really not very interesting.

What was the hand on shoulder thing?
I wasn’t watching the game at that point.

Based on WPA?
Gomez gets a .83 for getting hit by a pitch, but .002 to McGehee for both of his RBI singles? Or am I reading it wrong? How does this thing work, I’m old, I don’t understand your new-fangled stats…
It has to do with the leverage of the situation.
McGehee’s rbis must have come after the Brewers had a huge lead. Gomez’s HBP must have been considered more ‘important.’
http://www.mlbsoup.com
Right
Gomez’s HBP gave the Crew a 2-0 lead, while McGehee’s singles pushed the lead to ten and eight. Once the lead gets large, tacking on extra runs doesn’t change who’s going to win as much as going from 1-0 to 2-0 does. McGehee could be named the Badger Mutual Insurance Player of the Game, though.
Failure is just success rounded down.
When you have Suppan in the bullpen
Every run is critical
Too close for missiles, I’m switching to Ueck.
Heh
I wonder when Suppan will next enter a game with a lead. I think he will be this year’s Chris Smith, a bunch of relief appearances when behind.
Failure is just success rounded down.
And yet unlike Chris Smith
because Suppan is likely to continue to be entirely ineffective whereas Smith racked up a respectable 4.11 ERA (99 ERA+) and 1.3 WHIP in garbage innings where his motivation was to pitch just well enough to get through 2 innings and sit down.
Chris smith was working for a job aswell
What does soup really have to do? He gets paid either way, sure there will be some shame in being released, but it really seems like he doesnt care anymore
