Sunday Baseball Victory

Hey all, have a good weekend?

Personally, mine was highlighted by two Brewers home losses to the Reds, so yeah, it was a little upsetting. But that all turned around on Sunday, didn't it?

CC started today and had me extremely irritated to start the game. I kept thinking this is the guy that we got for Matt LaPorta and Rob Bryson? He hit two batters in the first three innings and didn't record his first strikeout until the 4th, not to mention the trouble that he pitched out of in the second and third. He allowed two runs, and minimized the damage. But after that he started to cruise and by the end of the game he had tabbed 9 innings pitched with 2 earned runs 9 strikeouts and 1 walk, not to mention his first Brewers homerun! Eat your heart out Zambrano, the Brewers now have the best power hittin pitcher in the league, lol.

Anyway, Bill Hall is going to get picked on here, because I really don't like him. Earlier in the year, he played like crap and when his playing time suffered he asked for a trade? If I was Gord Ash I would've said "there's the door, don't let it hit you." The guy is garbage. He left 4 runners on today, all of which were on 2nd or third. However, he did redeem himself a little by getting a single in the bottom of the ninth and eventually scoring the game winning run on a Craig Counsell sac-fly.

Pitcher of the game: Obviously, since there was only one Brewer's pitcher, CC Sabathia wins this one.

Position Player game of the : Gabe Kappler came up clutch with the game tying rbi.

Play of the game: There are a few of these because there were several good plays.
1. CC's homer; hopefully, the first of many.
2. Gabe Kappler's game tying rbi
3. JJ Hardy's back handed toss
4. Craig Counsell's game winning sac-fly

Congratulations to Matt Gamel for drawing two walks in the Futures game today at Yankee
Stadium.
