Big K there by Axford. D-Backs need to get the go-ahead run across this inning. You don’t want to be in a walkoff situation now.
Hate that play. Too easy for the forceout at third.
Still–you make the Brewer defense make a play…so there’s that.

Yeah, I was thinking, make Fielder make a play, but they obviously thought different.
BTW: we have seen some incredible baseball over the last two weeks, no?
They are setting traps to catch the rally squirrel in St. Louis. I have mixed feelings about this. At the very least if they want to catch the squirrel I think they need to bring in a real expert.
They caught a squirrel during batting practice in Philly. The Rally Squirrel tweeted moments later that it wasn’t him and he was in attendance.

So as happy as the DBacks obviously must be to tie the game… 1st and 2nd with no out and couldn’t get the go-ahead run across? I think that was their chance and it’s going to come back to bite them.

And now it gets really fascinating. What do the two bullpens look like now? How far can the closers go, and what kind of shape are they in after that?
Honestly, I’m asking. The Brewers and DBacks are not two teams I followed religiously this year. :)

Wow. In about 30 seconds, I’ve become a tremendous Brewers hater.
First, as the Brewers are celebrating, TBS wants to interview Fielder. Fielder, apparently overcome with emotion, says “I gotta go, I gotta go” and throws his hands over his head, wandering around and looking stunned. Except 5 seconds later, he’s being interviewed by someone from ESPN. WTF?
And of course, T-Plush delivers, as TBS tries to tie him down for 10 seconds, and he’s screaming FUCK YEAHHHH! FUCK YEAHHHH! right into the mic for the entire TBS audience to hear. And then they try to ask him an actual question, “what did it feel like to drive in the winning run?” and he goes “… I dunno. I got nothing for you, I gotta go” and heads into the dugout.
Seriously, WTF?
Also, get off my lawn!
Yeah, that was weak – but it did prompt me to remember that the Cards and Phils were playing, and I switched over to TNT.
Then, about 5 minutes later, I was wondering how the hell it came to be that I was watching [I]Shrek.

Deadspin posted video of T-Plush classing it up on TBS after the win.
After his first ‘fuck yeah’ off-mic, how dumb did you have to be to shove an open mic in front of him without actually asking a question?

Sticking with the ex-Mariner theme I’d say probably Chone Figgins.

This is an absolute gem of a game being pitched by Halladay and Carpenter. 7 innings each, only 1 run, 8 hits total, and zero walks.
Yeah, but for those of us who are Cards fans and have lived through a season where Carp has mostly pitched brilliantly but has had crappy run support, this one-run lead is like grasping on to a root on a cliffside that you are worried is going to start slipping out of the rock.
I’m having to listen to the games on the radio because I don’t have subscription TV (and blackout rules are the devil since I pay for MLB.tv) but I suppose that after what you guys have said about the TBS announcers that I’m better off taking my chances with Mike Shannon and John Rooney. :)
(I think I actually heard Mike Shannon crack open a beer a couple of innings ago.)
Looking better in the top of the 8th; let’s hope this turns into something insurance-creating.
Walking Pujols to get to Berkman is a tactic that’s worked well so far this year for other teams. Hoping it turns out the same in a few here.

One out to go!
I can only imagine what that opening out of the inning must have been to listen to on the radio. That had to be scary.
