Live Journal Part 2

Ok, on to the top of the 6th inning. Livo hasn't pitched bad, giving up 2 runs over 5 innings. Our offense has been anemic though. Time to get it going...

Top 6th: Fielder's hit looked good, but didn't get all of it luckily. Another LONG shot, but both stayed in the ballpark and went for outs. 1-2-3 inning for Livo. Two runs through 6. So far so good for Livo, we need OUR OFFENSE!

Bottom 6th: I'm going to the kitchen to cook more often. Solo shot by CY, number 25 on the year. This kid is GOOD. Rookie of the year people, start paying attention. Double by Byrnes with one out. CoJack up, and needs a hit bad. And he got it! Byrnes only got to third, but first and third with one out, Drew up. Yeah! Double down the line, scoring Byrnes. Second and third with one out, Reynolds up. And he got hit! Bases loaded, one out, the rookie Upton at bat. Two pitches way outside, Upton ahead 2-0. 2-2 now, Upton chasing ball three for strike 2. At Bush paints the corner for strike 3, retiring Upton. Bases loaded, 2 outs, Montero up. Miggy is great in these situations... Damn it! Fly out to center field... Tie game though after 6.

Top 7th: Livo back on the mound for the 7th, as he should be. 6 innings, two runs, 79 pitches so far. Good outing, let's keep it up. Double to lead off for the Brewers. And Another gapper to left center, scoring a run. The Brewers got the momentum after getting out of the jam, and come right back to take the lead. The Dbacks needed to score more runs last inning when they had the chance. Single for Milwaukee, first and third, no outs for the Brewers. And Livo just got yanked in favor of Tony Pena...

Pena's first batter popped out to short, advancing no one. Need two more outs. Pena has struggled lately, and almost just hit someone in the helmet there. He needs to close this inning with no more runs, but just went behind 3-0 to the batter. Walk, and now the Brewers have the bases loaded with just 1 out. The Dbacks need a double play bad. And for Pena to throw some strikes... And he gave up a grand slam. There goes the game, and the Dbacks streak of consecutive series won. 7-2 Brewers.

Pena got the last two batters to finish the inning, but the damage is done.

Bottom 7th: Scott Linebrink comes in to pitch for the Brewers, and Jeff Salazar pinch hitting for the Dbacks. He grounds out, Cy reaches on an error, then goes to 2nd base on it. Runner in scoring position with one out. Walk to O'Dog, 1st and 2nd with one out, Byrnes up. Pop to center, CoJack up. And three straight strikes to CoJack, all looking...

I think i'm done with this live journal, this sucks... Back after the game with some thoughts.
