8/18 other games (a.k.a Astros vs. Brewers)

[kujay]

BTW - Brewers are on pace to draw 3 million fans this year. That's really impressive.

 

That's a good thing, no matter what team it is.

 

I wish KC and some other "smaller markets" would experience what Milwaukee has done.

 

That said, I hope they get their behinds handed to them tonight.

 

EDIT: I was wondering if this was still in effect. They may draw 3,000,000, but apparently a little over 7,000 are willing to piss themselves for their ballclub:

Thank you ESPN2.

 

I have a strong suspicion that the game will be blacked out in my neck of the woods.

Thank you ESPN2.

Probably, they have been every time I've tried to watch Brewers or Cardinals on ESPN at my parents house over in Belvidere.

You guys get the Brewer blackouts? Wow that sucks, you're miles away from Brewer land.

 

I'll definitely get blacked out here in Madison. I haven't checked, but it wouldn't suprise me if the Brewer broadcast isn't in HD tonight, leaving me with SD baseball again :x

Even if the Brewers win tonight, the Cubs are still 6 games up in the loss collumn. If they lose, it'll be 7.

Durham starting over Weeks against an LHP -- Interesting.

[Hall7810]

Weeks has a thumb injury.

[weatherdood]

Tejada with a 2 out single in the first, Berkman reaches on an error by Hall.

 

1st and 2nd, two out.

[weatherdood]

Weeks has a thumb injury.

 

That would explain a lot.

[weatherdood]

Wigginton flies out to Braun to end the inning. Scoreless going to the bottom of the 1st.

 

CC throws 19 pitches in the first inning.

[Hall7810]

Tejada with a 2 out single in the first, Berkman reaches on an error by Hall.

 

1st and 2nd, two out.

 

 

It amazes me that the Brewers' Def-eff is .698.

[C.C.]

1-0 brewers.

[kujay]

Wow, Quintero crushed that one. Wish he'd have pulled it a bit.

[weatherdood]

Too bad Wolf follows Quintero

[weatherdood]

Bad news is that Houston stranded another running in scoring position...and have done so in each of the first 2 innings.

 

Good news is that CC's thrown 34 pitches already.

[kujay]

Problem is Yost is wound so tight he'll probably leave CC out there to throw 150.

 

Wait, that's not a problem.

[weatherdood]

Wait, that's not a problem.

[kujay]

The Astros look like yesterday's pre-7th inning Cubs.

[CubmanPi]

2 on none out top 4th for Mil. Looks like they're making pretty good contact so far.

[CubmanPi]

IBB to Kenall, loads them up for CC with two outs, RBI single, 3-0 Brewers. If the Astros don't get swept, this isn't shaping up to be the game that saves them from it.

[David]

ummm i would not have IBBed Kendall to face CC

[kujay]

Well that sucked.

 

Not sure I would walk Kendall intentionally under any circumstances.

 

4-0 now on a Durham double.

[CubmanPi]

Ray Durham follows it with 2-out RBI double, Sabathia barely slides in ahead of the play at third, which happened to be about three minutes after the run scored.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Stros getting pasted, 6-0 now

[CubmanPi]

I can't believe this inning isn't over yet. 6-0 Mil.
