PrintWP: Takashi Saito (3-1)
LP: Chris Resop (3-4)
MVP: Ryan Braun (2-3, RBI, .310 WPA)
LVP: Prince Fielder (0-4, -.232)
Another day, another one-run victory against the hard-luck Pirates. This time it was Charlie Morton and Shawn Marcum, each pitching into the eighth with giving up a run. The Brewers finally broke through in the bottom of the 10th, with a George Kottaras single, a Casey McGehee double, and a walk-off sacrifice fly by Nyjer Morgan.
With the Brewers' 475th consecutive sweep against the Pirates, the Brewers enjoy a 5.5 game lead over the Cardinals.

Highlight of the game
"We’re here to win, man. All that fighting stuff, that’s for the birds." - Prince Fielder
Ha
That was awesome. I remember almost doing the same thing in 6th grade basketball. Except I was on the verge of shooting a basket for the other team. (No worry. We must have been losing bad for me to be in the game.)

I got an inbound in 7th grade BBall and my point guard started yelling at me to take a shot...

Muahahaha
@Buster_ESPN Just dead silent in Busch, with the Rockies breaking out to a 2-0 lead. All Cardinals fans already know the Brewers won today.

They are silent so as to not distract the Cardinals players.
And opposing players are not used to the silence…so when they start hearing the weird voices in their heads, the Cardinals will have the advantage.

What will Tony say
about EJax nearly taking Ty Wigginton’s head off in the first? That was a fastball within an inch of his chin.

I feel like I need to add something to your statement.

Some of the folks at VEB are again claiming that the Brewers "must be" cheating again.
“It’s the only explanation for their record at home.”

I know we complain about Cardinals fans/VEB a lot
But their sense of entitlement is just ridiculous. Someone outplaying us? Inconceivable! They must be cheating!

Dear Pirates, thank you for your cooperation. Your manager didn't even whine about it.

Was at the game
It was so dull for 7 innings. We were just sitting directly in the sun for 2 hours with practically nothing happening. We had a great view of Morgan legging out the WP strikeout and you could tell everyone in the stadium expected Braun to get a hit. Didn’t matter that he was an All-Star closer. Didn’t matter that they weren’t hitting all day. There was just a feeling in the air. The crowd still went bonkers when he got the hit.
The crowd got too excited about Kotsay’s fly out in the 9th. I stood up to see, but I had already assumed it would fall on the warning track. I just watched the replay on MLB.TV, because I wanted to see Kotsay’s reaction and sure enough, he thought he had ended the game. How many times has he done that this year? Geez.
We had a perfect view of the cue shot “grounder” 3 feet in front of homeplate in the 10th. It took most of the crowd a few seconds to realize the inning was over.
McGehee’s double was awesome. The Pirates were playing deep. There was no room in the park for a double and he still found one somehow. I was a little surprised they didn’t walk T Plush. The crowd went bonkers again as soon as he made contact with the ball. The T’s were being thrown before the outfielder even caught it.
That was so awesome. Last year, the Brewers always found ways to lose. This year, the Brewers are always finding ways to win.

walking Tony gets you to Braun
why would you walk Morgan to get to Braun, who was 2-3. Heard someone else say the same thing. Don’t understand it at all.
by Nicole Haase on Aug 14, 2011 8:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, that would make no sense
Braun’s grounded into 7 DPs in 453 PAs this year. That seems like a pretty improbable occurrence to bank on.

thanks, i'd missed that
i loved that intentional talk interview with fielder and braun where they talked about family members running the sausage race. i think prince had a relative tear her ACL while running. hardcore…

It was hot dog.
I was at the game and saw it.

@SessileFielder Taylor Green left tonight’s @nashvillesounds game after the 3rd inning. #Brewers

Yes
please let this happen
Brewers:
5 games ahead of the Uptight Citizens Brigade
1 game behind the Braves for the Wild Card Safety Net
2 games ahead of Arizona to avoid the Phils in the 1st round
I agree...
… but why now? What’s the triggering event? There’s no more reason to bring him up now than there was a month ago. Less actually, since McGehee’s productive these days.
Going to be nice in a few weeks though when Gamel and Green are on the bench as PH types instead of the usual suspects we’ve been living with all year.

Seems more likely to be something like a tweaked hamstring than a callup
For the reason you mentioned.
by Cheeseandcorn on Aug 14, 2011 8:56 PM CDT up reply actions
Could be for wilson
Get green on the roster before sept 1st so he is eligible for the playoff roster and bring weeks back when rosters expand to 40.
Or they aren’t convinced that he is a AAA player and is being sent back to AA to prove himself

Brewers magic number at 37!!!

Longtime reader first time commenter. Just wondering why I click on the MLB link and the Crew has no headlines in spite of the fact Tony had a walk off sac for the NL Central leaders with the best home record in the MLB!
Don't know.
But welcome to BCB deks. Stay awhile, get comfortable.

22nd best home record all time of any team that ever existed !
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

How the Brewers win all their home games:
@TheRealMattKemp: We jus landed in Milwaukee. Somebody help!! They say are hotel is haunted…lol

This seems to get brought up every year at least once.
Because someone always has a ghost story about the Pfister. Carlos Gomez had voiced his opinion on this issue while he was with the Twins and they were playing in town.

Gomez still refuses to stay there
h pays out of his own pocket to go somewhere else if the team is in a hotel for whatever reason.

Attendance for the game...
Totally awesome that the fans are showing up in droves at Miller Park. On our way to 3 million idi…I mean fans.
That dog just won't hunt.

Would be tough not to hit 3m now
Remaining series:
4 vs. Dodgers (mid-week)
3 vs. Cubs (weekend)
3 vs. Cards (mid-week)
4 vs. Phillies (weekend)
2 vs. Rockies (mid-week)
3 vs. Marlins (weekend)
3 vs. Pirates (midweek, last three games of the season)
I’d be surprised if we didn’t sell out every game remaining after this Dodgers series. Should put us somewhere around 3.1m, if everything goes well.

When I checked
Predicted attendance for Los Angeles series:

42
42.
I wouldn’t expect huge walk-ups though. I can see this series being almost completely sold out.

I can see huge walk-up crowds happening. I totally worded that wrong.
