Re: 5/14 - 5/20 Game Discussion Thread

I think Miller Park is a great place to watch a game. On my visit there a few years ago, one thing that struck me was all of the people tailgating before the game on a Friday night in September. In Cincy, people only seem to tailgate prior to Bengals and UC Bearcats games. Never seen it for baseball. The fans at Miller Park were great too even with me and my buddy wearing Reds gear. Have a great time, man!

Thanks! This has almost become an annual thing (except for the couple years where they scheduled this series during the week). We'll be setting up shop as soon as the lot opens. The great thing about it is that they designed the lot for it with a ton of space between parking rows. Everyone has games like bags and Polish horseshoes going, and everyone has extra food and beer to share. If there's one thing Wisconsin gets right, it's tailgating.

EDIT: Actual game talk. I actually turned on this Twins game at the beginning and I haven't even turned it off in disgust yet. Blackburn is trying his hardest to get me to do that right now though.

Capuano is good at pitching.

Edit: LMAO, someone in my row got a snow cone and the vendor was handing it to him while I was typing, and the spoon fell out of snow cone cup and somehow I caught it (more like it landed between my index finger and thumb.

LOL, that Blackburn's kryptonite is Steve Kean.

Mets should've resigned him. :

Because they don't penalize you more for appealing? All players appel their suspensions. It is part of their right. Might as well exercise it.

I get all that but not everybody appeals. I was just if it was me I would just take the four be happy it wasn't more and just get it over and done with.

With two walks today David Wright's OBP is now above .500

Also Mike Leake's hittting this year > Ike Davis's hitting this year.

I picked up Capuano in fantasy after I lost Danny Duffy for the year. This is looking really good for me.

Figures he runs into trouble as soon as I posted that. Still he had been pretty much dominating the Padres hitters.

The entire Tigers infield has now committed an error and we're not even through 3 innings yet.

Great to see Votto not get another pitch near the strike zone again :/

The amazing thing about that is Brandon Inge was not part of any of those errors.

How do the Braves even stay in games none the less win games with Fredi as manager
