Although if you look at the boxscore on Yahoo, the score is 6-5 Ottawa and the game is over despite Buffalo having six goals listed.
It really is 6-6 unless OLN is putting on an elaborate charade.
Buffalo 7, Ottawa 6!
maybe Repko is the mystery suprise on the mound.
But he thought Billy Beane wrote it.
No, Joe Morgan did not sell me my shoes.
All but one run was unearned.
Meanwhile, old friend Lo Duca up with the game tied in the 9th in New York and the potential winning run on second.
Aussie Peter Moylan on the hill.
Meh, you can use it. I've been waiting to make use of one of your phrases, but haven't found the opportunity yet.
Nothing brings down the house quite like a Loren Murchison reference.
But I just mutter them to myself.
After you've been told to sit down and shut up, no doubt.
Yeah! Get some baserunners, Brewers!
oh well, at least they got out of the inning.
That has happened a lot this year. The Brewers' feed is not working at all tonight. The choice is thus underwater or dead air.
I'm pulling this answer comletely out of my ...
Either that or there's a disproportionate number of people who don't want to listen to Steinday in the late innings.
Washington trailing Cleveland by 3 with 5 seconds left takes the ball out of bounds. Do the Cavs deliberately foul to prevent a 3-point attempt?
No.
Arenas hits a 30 foot 3-pointer to tie it up. Arenas's shot was a lot harder than Tim Thomas's however.
If you foul a shooter while attempting a 3-pointer it's 3 shots.
Didn't the Lakers have a foul to give last night in regulation? If they had fouled someone on the floor, all Phoenix could have done is take the ball out again.
It's only a sacrifice if a runner scores on a fly ball.
And I think that's a stupid rule anyway. And many people agree with me and don't tell me to sit down and shut up when I bring it up.
Maybe you should bring that one up more often than the multiple-base error one.
Kansas City also has Grudzielanek and Mientkiewicz hitting back-to-back in their lineup.

Russ Ortiz...?
If its Dontrelle, then I'm cool with it.
52 -- You're scaring me.
Last year, Brewers announcer Bill Schroeder kept asking Prince about his dad and didn't know that the two were estranged. Schroeder was quite embarrassed when he found out.

Can he stay, mister Colletti, huh? Pretty please?
Btw, Chan Ho Park pitched a surprisingly great game, all the way through 9, no runs. I didn't think he had it in him.
I said it before but my post dissapeared.
Your wish is Grittle's command: Hamulack is warming up. (Be careful what you wish for...)
I take it you think Danys-boy is our best reliever...?
Meanwhile, not mkaing this all moot by scoring about 23 runs off of Dan Kolb would just about confirm that this is the worst offense on Planet Earth, outside of maybe the Atlanta Hawks.
Where did I read that?
15-1 GB/FB
I'd let lowe go the distance.
Lowe's at 15-1.
I'm watching it on t.v. i live in wisconsin, so i get brewer games.
Lee barely hit it out.
Time to call up billingsley and move one of our bottom 3 starters to the pen.
That was extremely unimaginative. Jim Tracy could have done that. Frank Robinson lives to do that.
Too bad the Dodgers were Hamulack'd.
Oh my -- another Repko throw my grandma could have made. It even hit the mound and rolled to Martin before he beat the runner by 25 feet.
Conspiracy theory: It's almost like Baez is trying to let the other relievers' runners score, so that he looks even better, by comparison. But that's crazy talk.
So he wasnt totally off the hook?
How does everyone like our 4 SS infield? Lucille, Furcal, Robles, and Nomar.
Penny, sitting next to him, "Baez isn't Mexican."
Lowe: "Well, I know he ain't American!"
Oh...
Danys-boy has an uncanny ability to blow the game without it showing up in his box score.
i know what he really meant, but earlier he had another non-intended pun about cecil and how he ate everyone up back when he played. Just found it funny.
1. "Clutch" hitting to ground out with a runner on base with less than 2 outs, but
2. "Not clutch" hitting to hit the same ground out with a runner on base and 2 outs.
I think it was in the upper-outer quadrant of the strike zone.
Sometimes even from gameday you can tell they are bad calls if GD only barely puts it in the box and the hitter doesnt swing.

1) An HBP
2) A wild pitch
3) A blown save
4) A "Strikeout"
5) A 400 blast caught at the wall
6) A line double down the left field line
7) A line drive hit right at Garciaparra for the third out.
As Paris would say, that's hot

I loved hearing the Brewer's announcers saying, "the Brewers should feel superior playing here in this weaker division". I was pretty sure that fixed their wagon (about the fifth inning).

" - M. Wise relieved J. Lehr
- R. Furcal reached on bunt single to shortstop
- J. Cruz Jr. sacrificed to catcher, R. Furcal to second
- N. Garciaparra singled to right, R. Furcal scored"
Calling that bouncer that hit the bag a single to right is burnishing the cat.
Not bad. We finished dinner and I went out to wash up, turned the channel and got to see the end of the game, improbable as that ending was.
It couldn't be a 400 foot blast, the wall only goes 395 at most.
Totally agree, why don't managers ever try a straight steal, then a bunt, especially when you have a Furcal, Lofton, or Repko on base?
ss furcal
cf repko
1b nomar
rf drew
2b kent
lf ethier
3b mueller
C martin
should be our "everyday" lineup for the upcoming 2 weeks or so.
My everyday lineup would be:
C- Martin
3b-Aybar
RF-Drew
1b-Nomar
2b-Kent
CF-Repko
SS-Furcal
LF-Ethier
Get Furcal out of the leadoff spot until he starts to hit.
Deal as many from the [Lofton, Mueller, Kent, Nomar, Cruz] group as possible at the trade deadline or before. None of those guys have a future with the team.
Furcal can't help us hitting 8th. Also, we're trying to compete, we shouldn't be looking to deal our good players now.
But I would be willing to deal Cruz in a heartbeat.
At this point with Furcal, its not about helping. Its about preventing further damage.
