The Brewers tied the Nationals for the series, and they had to go to the 11th inning to do it. At least they didn't lose the series and the final game, on Memorial Day, where I want to take this moment to honor all the veterans on FanNation. Thanks you guys (and girls)!!!!!

Sorry to disappoint you, dyhard, but that WAS a home run Dmitri hit. The ball went BEYOND the wall, near the seats (and OVER the padding, BTW). The umps got it right, for once. It took awhile, but they DID get it right.
Truth is, Saul Rivera lost us the game. Also, having been at the game Saturday night, I gotta say the Brewers have hitters.
God, I hope we don't keep screwing up like we have been on this West Coast swing starting tomorrow night (or is it TONIGHT, cause it's 1 a.m. right now in the East). I can't take much more of this crap...and Manny NEEDS to tell 'em to FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!!!

Report Offensive CommentI think its going to be a long year in Brewerland with that pitching staff including a washed up Gagne in charge of saving the few close opportunities the Brew will have with the lead late.

Report Offensive Commentdc your right it went above the padding, but the problem with that area of the fence is that the top of the padding was NOT the top of the fence, the wall where the padding was on was taller than the padding, thats where it hit and bounced back into center, shoulda been a triple.
