Brewers vs Astros

[adminbaberuth]

Astros are 8.5 games out, 3 game winning streak. In the 8th tied 4-4, a win moves them within striking distance.

Clemens and Pettite, any second thoughts?

[KFDM COOP]

Clemens and Andy can stay where there at.

[adminbaberuth]

Still 4-4 as the Stros bat in the bottom of 9th. 

[adminbaberuth]

Extra innings.

[adminbaberuth]

Jason Lane batting .172 for the year has 2 on two outs in the 10th................, flys out.

On to the 10th.

[adminbaberuth]

9.5 back.

[Guest bigcat]

Astros need some pitching help, bad.

[WHFAN]

They can keep those "BRONX BACK MOUTAIN BOYS"

[AJ25]

Clemens and Andy can stay where there at.

agreed. they wouldn't have done us any good this year

[adminbaberuth]

Wandy pitches gem 7 innings 1 run, hands off to Qualls with a nice 4-1 lead in the 8th. Qualls only gives up 5 hits in the 8th, without Scott's assist it would be tied at 4-4.

Stros lead 4-3 bottom of 8th.

[adminbaberuth]

I apologize to Qualls, Lidge is terrible.

[KFDM COOP]

Man!!!!! Get rid of him! >

[AJ25]

just cut him, don't even bother trying to trade him, just strait up CUT him!!!!!

[venom33]

someone please explain to me how Lane is batting .178 and is still with the club? and starts?

Ausmus is the same way, batting.233... he a good catcher but horrible at the plate.

[AJ25]

i've always wondered about ausmus. but who else could they put in lane's spot? there isn't anybody.

[Ruckdad]

That was a good pitch that Lidge threw Braun - Give the kid credit for going down there and getting it.  but I agree that Lidge should have been traded before the dead line.

As for Lane - there is no one else on this roster that can play centerfield.  ANd, this team is going nowhere in a hurry, and I think this is Lane's very last chance to show he can do anything.  So far he hasn't.  When Pence is ready, look for Lane to be a spot starter and then released in the off season.

Ausmus will finish out the year and either retire or come back next year as a backup catcher.
