Need to get Riley going.

If Carps, Tork and Riley are slumping this team is in trouble. There's not a lot of room for comfort in this line-up.

Jason mentioned it but didn't elaborate. So I had to look it up. Yeah, I'm not into cards, never heard this;

Meanwhile, in Chicago ...

 

It looks like the Twinkies may catch the WSox. I hope they battle for last place all season.

Riley might need a day or two off

24 Ks in 15 games. 

[gehringer_2]

and he looks like he's been gaining the wrong kind of weight.

some days you get the bear, some days the bear gets you.

Garbage time has officially arrived: Maeda in to pitch.

Brewers blow a 4 run lead and lose on a walkoff in Arizona and then have to hurry to Detroit to face Tarik Skubal. Baseball can be cruel sometimes...

[gehringer_2]

Tork couldn't beat the Twins by himself today. Be easier if some of his teammates showed up to help.

Oops, that was last night. But they do play in Arizona today and then back IN Milwaukee tomorrow against Skubal.

Lemonade out of lemons: if you'd've told me Friday morning we were going to take two out of three from the Twins this weekend, I would have been very happy to hear that.

So we’re fielding the A-Team that we have at our disposal and we have our most effective pitcher so far on the mound against an opponent we know and have already beaten twice. But when everything is stacked in your favor, sometimes things don’t work out. I hope I’m wrong but we might be overdue for something like that to happen today. Best to have the attitude that we are the Greeks and the Spartans fighting the invincible Persian Empire just to be safe. 
 

Yeah, I had a feeling we had to have a game like this. Had to get it out of the system.

[IdahoBert]

Looking forward to our Cy Young winner pitching tomorrow night in a climate controlled environment. 

[SoCalTiger]

Another series win. Keep doing that. 

[oblong]

This is one of those “eh” games.  Hard to sweep. 

[romad1]

for whatever reason games where i’m traveling and trying to monitor the game while renting a car and navigating to a hotel are always like this.  Frustrating and unknowable because i can’t pay attention besides occasionally checking in with you fine people.

Lol, I have the infamous "FF" billy ripken card

[RandyMarsh]

The Ripken card along with the Sam Vincent with Michael Jordan wearing the number 12 in the background were the big chases in terms of random cards for me and my friends as kids.

Milwaukee is throwing Tyler Alexander tomorrow...Hinch said that Greene is getting the day off to clear his head.

Also the 1990 Hoops basketball card of Mark Jackson (#205?) Has both Menendez brothers very visible sitting courtside.

A popular one from childhood - the 1969 Topps card of Aurelio Rodriguez is actually a pic of the team bat boy
