SB Nation Coverage
The Brewers bounced back from adversity tonight, scoring two runs each in the fifth, sixth and seventh to turn a 5-1 deficit into a 7-5 advantage and making a winner out of Kameron Loe for the first time in over two years.
The offense came from unlikely sources tonight: Chris Narveson and Jim Edmonds (forced into action on a sore Achillies) singled in runs in the fifth, Carlos Gomez and Alcides Escobar drove in the runs in the sixth, and Edmonds came back to the plate in the seventh and hit a two run homer to put the Brewers ahead for good.
Edmonds was forced into action when Corey Hart left tonight's game early. While attempting to make a sliding catch on a foul ball near the stands in right, Hart slammed his right (throwing) hand into the wall and may have injured his wrist. X-rays on the joint came back negative, but he's still expected to undergo an MRI tomorrow.

Gotta love baseball
Ueck is back and an old backup outfielder is the MVP.

Ax really seems like Rollie revisited;
think he can go again tommora?
Why not?
He’s young and healthy…..why quit a winner?

Ya know if there's contenders that could use a closer?
I mean, hell, if Ax can go virtually every day, I feel bad for Hoff. He’s pitched decent of late but still won’t get an opp.
not necessarily
of course it depends on whether or not you think the Red Sox are contending. (Daniel Bard can only pitch so many innings)
After all we've already been through this season
We’re only 8 games under .500, and we’ve got Ueck back. Anything’s possible now.
We'll take it!
this game couldn’t have come at a better time to regenerate fan interest. Well, my interest, anyway.

I really Hart is ok so we can trade him still
I know I’m horrible but that’s how I feel
I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful

Damn Corey Hart!
Doesn’t he know we’re trying to trade him?!
My goodness.

Goooooo-mez!

I guess Hart already had an MRI tonight
No fracture revealed, he’s day-to-day.
"I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he said he didn't have that kind of dough." - Ueck
Of all the what if scenarios to replay for the first half of the year
the most interesting must be “what would the Brewers record be with Uecker in the booth and healthy that whole time.”
But second most interesting is “what would the Brewers record be with 9 LaPorta’s.”

I heard that
LeBron left Cleveland because he knew that he could never advance past being the 10th most popular athlete in town.

Did you know
That 9 LaPortas was the original title for what would become The Knack’s 1979 smash hit “My Charona”? It’s really true! I pinkie swear!
At the game last night
’Rillo threw out the first pitch – wish he could have stayed in the game
With the exception of Corey Hart’s triple in the first – the team was lifeless until the Narve-Dog showed the team how to hit and drove in the second run of the game. Then there was a collective facepalm as the offense finally remember what those sticks were in their hands.
Rickie’s Defense – He made a jumping grab at a liner and made me realize that we don’t P&M that much about his D anymore and Willy must have really done some magic with him. Looking at B-R, he is on pace to have his best defensive year yet – he is actually nearing average…..
Hart’s peak value has passed and should have been traded already
The loudest and longest ovation came not when JEd hit his two run blast, but rather when Uke was shown on the video board with a big old welcome back message. Why doesn’t Uke have a statue?

And Braun needs a day off where he doesn’t even come to the park. He can go down to his crappy waterfront grill wearing one of his crappy t-shirts and watch the crappy milwaukee river and get all of those crappy swings out of his system

He needs a lesson
from Suppan on how to own/operate a restaurant while still contribute meaningfully to a…. wait…. while still performin… no… um… I got nothing.

Well...
It’s true. Aaron and Yount are exceptions. Selig, however, was killed and replaced by a race of super intelligent androids from another dimension, and has been dead for at least 20 years.
Unfortunately, looks like the Ax shot down my proposed entry music.
RT @jordanschelling: Nothing against Axford, but Audioslave just doesn’t have the same effect as “Hells Bells” as far as entrance music goes.
RT @mykenk: @jordanschelling You gotta talk him into using this. Even better/more appropriate than Hells Bells: http://youtu.be/M8WFl4Mo1yM
RT @jordanschelling: @mykenk he said he needs about 500 saves before he can use that
Dammit.

That.
would be incredible
Too close for missiles, I’m switching to Ueck.
