Down 1-4 going into the bottom of the 7th and the Brewers come away with a 7-4 win! This Brewer team is really fun to watch, but can the injuries just stop already! With the latest casualties being Escobar and Adames!
With an 8 1/2 game lead over the Reds and 36 games left, the Brewers can't quite coast into the playoffs, but let's hope for no more injuries and good health when the playoffs start.

How about that? The injury thing concerns me. It's that time of year and that 8.5 can disappear fast...but these guys are sooooo fun to watch

That is why these final 2 regular season games with the Reds today and tomorrow are important. Win both of them and a 10.5 lead with 34 to go is really going to feel nice. The Brewers still have 7 games against the 2 powerhouses in the West, The Giants (4) and Dodgers (3) and both of those series are unfortunately on the road. Although ironically, the Brewers are a better road than home team this year with a 35-28 (56%) home record and a 42-21 (67%) Road record.
While the Giants and Dodgers will be tough opponents, some of the remaining games aren't cakewalks either. We still have 10 games with the Cardinals, so I am hoping by the time we meet them for the 7 late September games, they are out of the playoff race.
- @Twins (3 games) Twins record: 54-71
- @ Giants (4) 81-44
- Cardinals (3) 63-61
- Phillies (3) 63-62
- @ Indians (3) 61-62
- @ Tigers (2) 61-66
- Cubs (3) 55-72
- Cardinals (4) 63-61
- Mets (3) 61-64
- @ Cardinals (3) 63-61
- @ Dodgers (3) 79-47
Damn they are on fire!

Big time! I honestly didn't expect them to even split the 4 game series at San Fran and then they go out there and win the first 3 and will go for the sweep today!
This team is still firing on all....28 cylinders!

A friend was at the game today. She confirmed that a lot of people left after the 8th innining and before..
My dad used to love to leave sporting events early to avoid crowds. I can't tell you how many comeback victories I missed as a kid. Now, I don't leave or stop watching until the final out or tick of the clock.
Here are the highlights of the fantastic 9th inning today, which the Brewers were down 5-1 when it started.

I never have been a big baseball fan but I do like listening to Uecker. In fact I kinda liked it when the Brewer's were getting blown out because then he would just go off on a tangent with some of his best stories.
Obviously many fans know him from his stellar acting in the super successful and critically acclaimed classic "Mr. Belvedere" ... Oh, and that "Major League" thing too I suppose, but I wonder how many non Brewer fans have actually listened to him call a game. Obviously fans of a particular team are going to listen to their own teams announcers so do many really get the chance to hear him without going out of their way. It also makes me wonder how many others there are who are similar to him that we just don't hear because we either listen to national broadcasts with impartial announcers or we tune into the Brewer's broadcast. I'm sure most of us are a bit biased in our opinions that Ueck is the best but are there any others that stand out in your minds. Truth be told the only other local announcer I know is Harry Caray but I am sure there are other "local" gems out there
I was at a party not too long ago and someone brought up the topic of which sports figure would you like to spend an afternoon with and without hesitation I said "Allison Stokke" but Ueck would be a close second,. Well maybe not real close but he would be second for sure.
Does anyone know when he called his first " get up, get up, get outta here, gone". As much as I love that I gotta say I like "How about that one folks" even more.

I think an afternoon with Allison VS one with Bob would entail 2 completely different agendas.
Besides movies and the sitcom, Bob did quite a few commercials, "Great seats hey buddy? He also was a regular on The Johnny Carson show, appearing over 100 times. But you are right, I doubt many non-Brewer fans have had the pleasure to be able to hear his awesome play by play of Brewer games.
As far as his famous call of Home Runs, according to Bob, he has always done it that way and in his humble, self depreciating way, takes little credit for it.

As far as the call I just listened to a couple of you tube videos of his greatest calls and I could swear there were a few early ones where he didn't.
I must be in the front row.
With Bob I'm thinking a boat on Lake Michigan with brats and beer. With the other one ...I think an afternoon with Allison VS one with Bob would entail 2 completely different agendas.
