Darn...No Argenis reyes???? Thank God!

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's actually the most sensible lineup I've seen top-to-bottom in a while.

Church and Martinez are the only lefties, so there was commitment to benching Reyes today.

I see us winning by at least seven.

Why a 7:05 start last night and an 8:05 start tonight? Is Milwaukee multi-time zone sensative?

[bmfc1]

Last night's game was moved up an hour for ESPN.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Home... run?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright-Centerfield.

Brilliant.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It was laying off those sliders away that set that shit up.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Mike Burns eats worms.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Magee Hickey kept that inning from spiraling away from the Brews.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Same for us in the bottom of the inning.

(It's like he's his own inverse-- boot a bunny, hit a slam; make a glove save, go down harmlessly later.)

I see number 6 plaing first and I'm thinking about Mike Marshall.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I see 5 groundouts in the first two innings, and I'm thinking about Joel Pineiro, and I'm real glad David laid off those sliders.

Looks like Hernandez a little there too.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, do that shit, Mike Marshall.

[Guest Kong76]

Did Mike Marshall flash diving leather like that?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mike Marshall was two teaaspoons removed from Dick Stuart and one removed from Dave Kingman.

No, he didn't flash leather like that.

Meanwhile, any day with a reference to Bernie from Room 222 is good.

[Guest Kong76]

Funny, I was just going to post that they showed TransMonk in a Brewers
jersey and that he really let his hair grow out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Johan's fastball is getting spanked so hard in the third, it's like a Masons hazing ritual.

Also, the third-base coach remembered the "send" sign. The lead is halved.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The junk, however, appears to work fine.

Johan works out of trouble-- how many times has someone written that this year?-- to get Fielder and McGehee, and verges on getting out of the third relatively unscathed.

Shit call on ball 4 to Kablammeron.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm happier to see Kendall let down his teammates and be the goat than Cameron there.

Good job Yohan.

Pop ups make great toilet paper.

Still, Johan's over 80 pitches after three. It's all a bit worrisome.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets picking up on some suspicious behavior in the booth.

Probably nothing, but I'd ask to dress him down, anyhow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

If all he's trying to do is work his splitter grip, then he's sure tippng that pitch off.

[Guest Kong76]

EDC: Mets picking up on some suspicious behavior in the booth <<<

What does that mean?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Burns was tugging at his glove or soemthing and they suggested he could be smuggling an emery board in there.

Fernando Martinez voodoo doll?
