Brewers Beat Another Ace


The Milwaukee Brewers proved again last night that oppossing teams' aces have a tough time beating them. Tim Hudson got in line with the likes of Johan Santana, Carlos Zambrano, and Cole Hammels in being defeated by the Brewers. This was Milwaukee's 12th come from behind win!
This time Mike Cameron provide the game winning sac-fly that scored Billy Hall in the bottom of the ninth with two outs. Hall was brought in as "defensive replacement" for Russell Branyan. In doing so Billy blooped a single in the right field. Once on board, he advaned to second thanks to a nicely placed bunt from Rickie Weeks. Hall then caught Jeff Bennett asleep on the mound and started to steal third before he began his wind-up. That set-up Mike Cameron's game winning sac-fly that had Billy Hall executing a textbook-style slide in to home.
JJ Hardy had three hits and two RBI's.
Ryan Braun went 3 for 4, with three timley singles
Branyan and Hart both hit doubles
After Bush game up two home runs in the first and second innings, he actually pitched damn good giving up 6 hits, 1 walk, and striking out 3.
Julian Tavarez, who looked like a roughed up Korean War Vet who had his fair share of battles, had a hell of an introduction by not giving up a hit or a run and striking out one. He even played some decent D when he chased down a difficult grounder towards first.
-Jay Bruce, Cincinnati's version of the Jesus, was called up to the Big's two days ago and made his first start last night. This kid is the real deal, so it appears looking at his minor league stats. He went 3-3 w/ 2 RBI's. His whole family was at the game.
-Dice K heading to the DL? Mark thy words. Well, maybe not yet, but shoulder fatigue doesn't quite explain the extent of his injury.
-Milwaukee celebrates as Sheffield goes on the DL.
-Don't get instant replay MLB....please don't get it. Just leave the game as it is for the love of God. Fricken Babe Ruth and Ted Williams are rolling over in their grave right now!
-I hate Sports Center (most of you know), however this morning I caught myself watching it. I wish they would stop trying to force feed us soccer (sorry, futbul americano). Stop putting it in Top Ten Plays. I could give two sh*ts about some guy named Coffee who made his pro debut....#1 ? Give me a break!
