So, it's 1-0 Brewers? going to the second?

BG--I am trying to keep the score and inning in the subject line. Is that ok?
Hi from Miller Park again. Hot as hell in here and they have no AC.
men on 1st and 2nd, no outs
Literally no AC, or did they just not have it on? That must be miserable...
ensberg didnt swing the bat once at that at bat...not once..
DFA Ensberg. Today.If you can't swing with a runner on 3b, when the hell will you swing?
Pigeon shit. Swing the fucking bat you moron. Tying run on third, one out. Need the RBI, not a walk. The pitch was too close to take.
Berkman 3rd, Lee 1st, 2 out
Look, I don't hate Ensberg, I don't know the man.But I do know that he is now a very, very bad baseball player.
But I do know that he is now a very, very bad baseball player.
Hall on 1st, 1 outs
DFA Ensberg, bring up Ransom. Play Loretta wherever you want, Ransom at SS.
I'm with you, but isn't Cody a 3b?
Millercalled strikeballcalled strikeball insidepops up to Ausmus in foul territory, Ausmus really had to scramble, good play
Runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 out
Can Conrad or Ransom play third base?
Ransom 3b and Conrad 2b.
Was a phenom SS when he came up. Has good range, great arm, great glove.
Why was he not brought up for Everett when he got hurt or is he not a phenom SS anymore?
Brownie testing his own abilities, calling a Gunther hr here.
1 out, man on 2nd
Also pointing out that it's a day game, so no one is listening.
Is there anything Ensberg is good at?
So I am doing all this typing, and NO ONE IS LISTENING!?!
Morgan has now moved from worthless to actively damaging to the team.Anyone surprised that he spent too long looking the runner back?
Why is it other teams advance on balls hit to the outfield and the Astros don't?
Type louder.
I'M TYPING AS LOUD AS I CAN
Runner at 2nd, 2 outsHunter did not position himself well for the throw, sorta juggled his feet, shoulda thrown to 2nd to keep runner at 1st says announcersHallballballfoul way up LF line, Berkman and Scott chase, no one really closedeep drive to RF, Scott makes the grab
I picked a great time to walk back in the living room. Berkman murdered that pitch to dead center.
Is the site crawling for anyone else, or is my connection just crappy?
did Footer see Pence's throw home? it was a little late, but way offline.
man on 1st, 2 out
Thanks for the PBP, Jane.

Woody using his middle finger to point out the scoreboard to you.
I'll just use mine to point at his season stats so far.
So, Woody is out. It's all up to the bullpen to win it.
Seriously. Shut up.I'll find you and rip out your pancreas with a permanent marker if you don't.
The stars at night are big and bright....
Hey, I was done talking about it until he brought it up again and once again I'm finished.
In Milwaukee they sing "roll out the barrell."
Hartballswinging strike on a sliderswinging strikeK called1 out
Whose pitchin?
But, I'm in Texas.
Who's pitchin?
i think Qualls.
Qualls. What's a bullpen?
It's where they keep the bull.
Why is it called the bullpen?
Sorry, I posted Qualls was up in the bullpen, but failed to mention he had come in to pitch. Sorry.
Looking back you did post it, top of post 153, thanks.
Turnbow in to pitch for the Brew Crew.PENCE!!ballfoulswinging strikeswinging strike at a ball in the dirt, thrown out at 1stlooked to me like he checked that, surprised it was called a strike
Nope, I went back and edited that in for posterity's sake.
uh, oh. i think Wise learned something during that AB.
also known as revisionism.
In Olden Times, souvenirs were called bullcrap. As in "Daddy, can I have a spongey ball with a star on it? No son, you don't need that bullcrap." You can't say bullcrap to kids nowadays because they'll grow up wrong. For instance, I heard bullcrap a lot. See? So now, the players who sit in the bullpen come into the game for the purpose of distributing souvenirs to the crowds.

Turnbow looks like Ray Bolger as the Scarecrow.That is all.
Turnbow throws 97?

OED, first use, 1924b. In baseball, a place outside the playing limits where pitchers are exercised for possible use during a game. N. Amer. 1924 Chicago Tribune 5 Oct. II. 1/1 Blake was rushed from the battlefield and Rip Wheeler from the bullpen. 1957 O. NASH You can't get there from Here 93 The pitcher too unrenowned, Who is always in the bull pen, But never reaches the mound.
You will have to translate this for non-librarians.
In 1924 it was used in the Chicago Tribune. That is the Old English Dictionary's first recorded usage in this (baseball) context.In 1957 Ogden Nash wrote a poem with that in it.
2 outs, no one on.
win or lose, we look like a ballclub today.
Oxford English Dictionary, the Big Magilla, as we librarians call it.
Gracias. I should know that. I'll come up with an good excuse and come back and edit this later.
Little known fact. The Old English Dictionary has a higher alcohol content per volume. From time to time, you can see sophisticated urbanites enjoying the 40oz version.Get yet learnin on!
$300 is absurd, but this is pretty cool for day-game zoners...
Burke comes in to run for Loretta
Berkman at 1st, Pence at 2nd, 2 outs
Berkmanchop to pitcher, Burke moves on contact, gets caught in a rundownBerkman at 1st, Pence at 2nd, 2 outs
hmmm? Maybe faster but Loretta is smarter.
not on contact. first and third with no outs or one out, the runner at third goes on any ground ball to stay out of a DP.c'mon, Lance. terrible AB.
Garner was assuming that Burke would have a legitimate chance on a sac fly. Loretta would have none. Of course, he didn't count on Lance hitting a dribbler to the pitcher.
Do you mean the "Olde" English Dictionary? Because I think that's even older.
HartBallgrounds out Lamb to Berkmanpretty good play by Lamb
Yes, he should be running in that situation. I'm not watching the game, but Burke should occupy the run down long enough to get the runners on 2nd and 3rd. I guess this did not happen?
You whippersnappers these days and your emoticons...
fixed. i never remember that until it is too late.
Biggio up to PH for Wheeler.Popped up a bunt to Fielder. Biggio is really pissed at himself.
"pretty good?" are you kidding?
What should I have said? Out-freaking-standing? Excellent? And then have some one call me out because they think it wasn't? I'm having a hard time keeping up with the PBP, and getting my 2 boys ready for all star practice, feeding all 4 boys, and potty training a 2 year old. Sorry my description pissed you off old man.
Who is tomorrow's starter? I hope he's got about 8 innings in him.
a runner cannot do that if the rundown is executed properly. it was.
On my team, Hall would have been removed for a pinch-runner for that shit.
Runners on 1st and 2nd 1 out
Who was loafing more on that play? Lee or Hall?
you ain't no spring chicken, either.
didnt really matter anyway--miller hammers another nail in this pathetic season. way to show up in possibly the most important series of the year.
Still in my 30's. How long has it been since you could say that?
damn, i believe i'd need to see a birth certificate to believe that.
I say Hall, but I may just be accustomed to Lee by now.
stop whining.
so what do you call what everybody else has been doing?
Gettin' PERSONAL, aren't you. 7-21-1968 I may not always agree with you, but I don't make it personal. Everyone calls you old man and jokes about your age. It was not personal. I don't know why you are so crabby lately, but I have done nothing to deserve being treated like this.
