Milwaukee Brewers Discussion

[EvilMonkey]

This is where have Bush in the pen would be a great help.

yeah, we're only down 3-0 but for how much Villy is struggling and the fact that Wainright just homered off him, we need a long-inning guy in this situation

[princefielder28]

Brewers fall 5-4 to the Cards...9th inning rally comes up short but they fought hard

[PackerLegend]

Didnt get to see the game don't think it was on FSN. Anyway after starting 6-1 we have went 2-5. Sure hope we learn how to beat the Reds and Cards because thats our next 7 games so far we are 1-4 against them.

Did someone give Prince a brat yet?? Did he finally homer yet our not?

[roidrunner]

nope, but he did get a rbi, that man needs a hot beef injection

[PackerLegend]

Hopefully he hits one soon and then just explodes a hits a homer every single game left. Hitting multiple homers every game. :D Beef sounds good right about now so does KFC.... I hadn't noticed that in your sig until today.

[roidrunner]

no one ever does, thats why i love it, cause the KFC head quarters is like a quarter mile from UofL campus

[roidrunner]

ok so today, we have both gross and Council playing, that means no Hall or Kapler. So my question is where are we going to get an offense from today, with Braun and Fielder, having some really cold bats right now.

[umphrey]

Fielder has to do something

[roidrunner]

well we just had another 1-2-3 inning this is kinda sad, we need those bats to wake up

[roidrunner]

well parra just gave up a homer, brewers down 1-0.

[princefielder28]

well parra just gave up a homer, brewers down 1-0.

Ryan Ludwick...oh my firckin god

[roidrunner]

looks like it is going to be a long day, im still surprised how good the cards are, they were sapposed to suck this year.

[roidrunner]

is parra's control off? it seems like he has alot of walks already.

[princefielder28]

is parra's control off? it seems like he has alot of walks already.

yeah he has really struggled with his control today

[princefielder28]

Brewers will a nice comeback in the 8th...hopefully score here in the 9th and bring in Gagne to close it out

[PackerLegend]

O wow I just turned it on in the 10th... This is interesting

[EvilMonkey]

HR for Prince, Gagne struggled and put the first 2 on but then closes it down. Great win for the Crew.

[princefielder28]

HR for Prince, Gagne struggled and put the first 2 on but then closes it down. Great win for the Crew.

It was very important for them to salvage a game in the series

[PackerLegend]

Prince hit a 2 run homer that helped win us the game!!!!!!!! Damn and I missed it. Please Prince hopefully this is a sign that your bat is starting 2 wake up.

[GB12]

I really dislike that Trenni chick that they added to the broadcast.

[yodapoop]

I really dislike that Trenni chick that they added to the broadcast.

I hate the douche that does Brewers live.

[GB12]

I hate the douche that does Brewers live.
Cushon or however you spell it? Yeah I don't like him either.

[princefielder28]

I really dislike that Trenni chick that they added to the broadcast.

yeah she really doesn't fit

[yodapoop]

Cushon or however you spell it? Yeah I don't like him either.

Oh yeah, whatever his name is, HUGE win for the Crew in April when the Cards won the series.

[roidrunner]

im happy for the win today, we really need it, now we need to keep this going and beat the reds. we need a series win badly

[umphrey]

Fielder has to do something

Thanks for listening Prince

[roidrunner]

i bet he got a hot beef injection before the game

[princefielder28]

Bill Hall hammers a ball...4-0

[princefielder28]

Big Ben may be injured

[GB12]

What's with pulling Sheets? He better not be injured. He looks fine, but injury is the only logical explanation for him being out. A 2 hit shut out with 60 pitches and a 4-0 lead. Not to mention our bullpen needs rest. What the hell are you doing Ned?

EDIT: soreness in the tricept. Well it could be worse

EDIT: soreness in the tricept. Well it could be worse

Ben's fastball was topping out at about 90 and that's about 3-5 MPH lower than usual...something is wrong; better be safe than sorry

[drowe]

yeah, Ben will be fine. just some menstual cramps.

[badgerbacker]

Ben had better be fine. We've got a pretty big stretch coming where our bullpen will not have many opportunities for breaks.

[roidrunner]

good game today, just a little worried about Big Ben we need him to be ok.

[Pacific]

I'm glad to see that Stetter was able to get settled down and do his job after struggling early on. It would sure be nice to keep 2 lefties in the pen if he performs well. I'm also pleased to see Gagne continue to get results. It's not pretty but he's getting the job done.

[roidrunner]

well lets just hope gagne can keep it going.

[PackerLegend]

Got a little to close for comfort at the end of the game yesterday, atleast we held on.

COREY HART 1st HOMER THIS SEASON !!!!! WOOT WOOT

[PackerLegend]

5-3 Brewers in 10 innings.. Bill Hall looks good again and Gange picks up another save.

[princefielder28]

I'm happy that the Brewers have rebounded and put up three wins in a row now. I have a feeling Gallardo is going to be making his debut this season against Harang.

[GB12]

Well you should have a feeling because we've known that for quite some time now. ;)

[princefielder28]

Well you should have a feeling because we've known that for quite some time now. ;)

Actually it hasn't been officially announced yet....milwaukeebrewers.com still has it as TBD

[GB12]

Actually it hasn't been officially announced yet....milwaukeebrewers.com still has it as TBD
It's not completely official yet, but everyone who's a real Brewers fan has known that for a while.

[yodapoop]

I get to go back to Miller Park on Monday. Two straight Brewers home games, hell yeah. This time I may end up shot though as the Brewers are playing the Cards. Oh snap!

[drowe]

mlb.com has Bush as the pitcher. the brewers website says Gallardo. either one is fine as this is just gravy day.

[princefielder28]

mlb.com has changed it to Gallardo now.

MEXI-SHEETS IS BACK!

[princefielder28]

The current roster has 14 pitchers and 11 position player....suprised that McClung wasn't shown the door before Dillon

[princefielder28]

Yovani starts this year with another extra base hit

[princefielder28]

JJ Hardy gets his first homer of the year!

[princefielder28]

Ryan Braun just made a great cut off, relayed a great throw to Hardy and Hardy threw a one hopper to Kendall to get Dunn out at home. HUGE!

[princefielder28]

Wonderful outing by Gallardo today!

[princefielder28]

Mitch Stetter than you very much...two perfect innings

[roidrunner]

so we are going to extra innings. lets get this done boys

[princefielder28]

so we are going to extra innings. lets get this done boys

got the lead now thanks to an error and wild pitch

[roidrunner]

thats what i like to hear. lets hope Gagne can keep his composure

[princefielder28]

I think Rickie's days are numbered as the leadoff hitter...expect Counsell to see some more action and possibly as the leadoff hitter; Corey Hart has to be an option too

another run added...3-1

[roidrunner]

no is the time where we all hold our breathe, gagne is in

[princefielder28]

no is the time where we all hold our breathe, gagne is in

damn! EE hit another homer

[roidrunner]

God Damit Gagne Im Going To Kill You! You Stupid Piece Of ****.

[roidrunner]

Wtf Bako Homers Too!

[princefielder28]

God Damit Gagne Im Going To Kill You! You Stupid Piece Of ****.

frickin paul bako with a homer

[roidrunner]

we need a new closer, cause this is freaking stupid

[princefielder28]

we need a new closer, cause this is freaking stupid

in gagne's defense it is the fourth day in a row that he was asked to pitch so he may have been worn down a bit and resulting in him getting alot of the plate on those two home runs

[roidrunner]

so your saying dont sharpen our pitch forks just yet, in case we decide to riot.

[princefielder28]

so your saying dont sharpen our pitch forks just yet, in case we decide to riot.

thats what i'm saying

[roidrunner]

ok i put the pitch fork away for you.

[princefielder28]

chalk up a L....one positive is a 5-4 road trip early in the season

[roidrunner]

well we have torres in now, so we have some hope

[GB12]

Just when I was starting to come around a bit on Gagne he does crap like this. He is still tied for the league in the NL for saves, hopefully he keeps that up and we can send him off at the trading deadline.

[roidrunner]

yea we should of not lost that game, but atleast we took 2 of 3

[yodapoop]

Alright guys, going to the Brewer game tonight decked in my Albert Pujols shirt, Cardinal sweatshirt, Cardinal jacket, and possibly a Cardinal hat. Now the question on my mind, over or under 1 beer shower for me tonight. Here is the kicker however, I am sitting the no alcohol section. So what is it, I am praying for under.

Not near as much as the Brewers need a new manager imo.

[EvilMonkey]

Not near as much as the Brewers need a new manager imo.

well, that too.....

[princefielder28]

Not near as much as the Brewers need a new manager imo.

I don't believe Ned is the problem...he does make mistakes at times, which all managers do, but I would put more of the blame on Mike Maddux

[PackerLegend]

I think I would lose the Cardinal sweatshirt and the Cardinal jacket its pretty warm out there and you can only see one layer of clothing anyways.

[yodapoop]

Yeah, it really nice out today, hopefully the roof will be open.

[roidrunner]

its looking right now that the roof will be open, i am kinda jealous that you are going to the game, i wish i could of gone, its such a nice day out

[yodapoop]

LETS GO BREWERS!

[roidrunner]

hahaha no, GO Brewers!!!!

[princefielder28]

LETS GO BREWERS!

finally figured it out :)

[roidrunner]

i can tell we are going to convert the guy by then end of the year

[EvilMonkey]

watching the pre-game, havent seen anything yet but just turned it on and they said a bunch of the guys have shaved down to moustaches. Mentioned Prince and JJ, cant wait to see the Moustached Brewers.

[GB12]

JJ has been sporting a moustache for a while now.

[EvilMonkey]

i didnt remember, thought he had a goatee but they mentioned him in the pregame. Villy's got a nice little one going.

[GB12]

i didnt remember, thought he had a goatee but they mentioned him in the pregame. Villy's got a nice little one going.
Yeah, he just had to shave off the chin, haven't seen him yet but he should look pretty much the same.

Villanueva's is great.

[EvilMonkey]

still waiting to see prince, dont know if they've shown him yet or not, homework while watching the game, not paying attention 100%.

edit: just saw Prince's, absolutely amazing.

[badgerbacker]

I love the mustaches. Carlos just looks classy now.

I just found out I got tickets for Friday's game against the Marlins, hopefully we'll be playing well that day.

[GB12]

I love the mustaches. Carlos just looks classy now.

I just found out I got tickets for Friday's game against the Marlins, hopefully we'll be playing well that day.
I just found out a friend of mine bought me a ticket to Sunday's game. Yeah, trying to get out of that one.

[roidrunner]

that is a tough call, Draft or Drunkenness at a brewers game??? well the draft is only once a year

[princefielder28]

Carlos pitched very well tonight...hopefully they can score here

[Geo]

I just found out a friend of mine bought me a ticket to Sunday's game. Yeah, trying to get out of that one.
At least it's Day Two.

[GB12]

Why the **** is Gagne up

[princefielder28]

Why the **** is Gagne up

cause there was a chance for a save opportunity if hart had scored and he told yost today that he was ready to go

[GB12]

cause there was a chance for a save opportunity if hart had scored and he told yost today that he was ready to go
His 5th straight day after giving up back to back homers to blow the game yesterday, no he's not ready to go. If he goes in and blows one tonight it is 100% on Yost.

[princefielder28]

His 5th straight day after giving up back to back homers to blow the game yesterday, no he's not ready to go. If he goes in and blows one tonight it is 100% on Yost.

he asked gagne and gagne said yes...if ned can't trust his veteran relievers then there's a problem...gagne is on the roster to close games and if he's able to go and the opportunity presents itself then he's gonna get the call

[Boston]

What the **** is Turnbow doing anywhere near the ninth inning? My god this is ******* ridiculous.

[GB12]

he asked gagne and gagne said yes...if ned can't trust his veteran relievers then there's a problem...gagne is on the roster to close games and if he's able to go and the opportunity presents itself then he's gonna get the call
Well that's a problem right there. He shouldn't be asking Gagne in the first place. What do expect? Of course he's going to say he's fine. It's the manager's job to decide not the player's.

[Boston]

**** you Ned Yost, and **** you Turnbow. God damnit. This is the second day in a row Ned's made a stupid ******* decision in relief pitching.

[princefielder28]

Well that's a problem right there. He shouldn't be asking Gagne in the first place. What do expect? Of course he's going to say he's fine. It's the manager's job to decide not the player's.

If Gagne can't go then he's gonna say he can't go today; he'd do what's best for him and the team...he's not a dumbass

Turnbow is gone!

[Boston]

If Gagne can't go then he's gonna say he can't go today; he'd do what's best for him and the team...he's not a dumbass

Turnbow is gone!

Yeah...that's Ned's job.

[princefielder28]

Tim Dillard should be called up and Turnbow released or whatever, not sure if he even has options

[Geo]

If Gagne can't go then he's gonna say he can't go today; he'd do what's best for him and the team...he's not a dumbass

Turnbow is gone!
Ballplayers aren't going to say no when they're healthy enough to play, especially a guy like Gagne who is a new teammate and feels like he let the team down the day before. But it's common sense, you don't send your closer for 4 straight days much less 5 STRAIGHT DAYS. Ye gods, I really like the Brew Crew because they are such a fun and exciting young team, but I want to strangle Yost to choke the stupid out of him, I can't imagine how fans of the team like you guys deal with this.

[PackerLegend]

Saw in the 8th it was tied 3-3, didnt get to see the end. From the sounds of it we lost and in a bad way. Sucks that we have blown the last 2 games.

[princefielder28]

Craig Counsell is really playing well thus far in 08

[yodapoop]

That was awesome when Turnbow came in last night.....a few of the most loyal Brewer fans clapped for him, but the strong contingent for the Cards cheered for him louder.

[princefielder28]

yeah Turnbow is quite the guy

Brewers' bats are getting going...up 7-3

[Pacific]

yeah Turnbow is quite the guy

Brewers' bats are getting going...up 7-3

The most important of those being Ryan Braun's.

[princefielder28]

Eric Gagne time!

[GB12]

Eric Gagne time!
Ned just doesn't get it.

[princefielder28]

Rickie Weeks! :(

[Sportsfan486]

Rickie Weeks! :(

I can't see the game.. did Weeks foul up a double play there? :(

And why is our PITCHER batting 5th??

[princefielder28]

I can't see the game.. did Weeks foul up a double play there? :(

he threw one in the dirt to Fielder and he couldn't scoop it; Weeks had more time than he thought

[Sportsfan486]

C'mon Fielder, walk off homer!!! DO IT!

[Geo]

Pf, who was the batter on that play?

Here's hoping Prince delivers the game-winner.

[princefielder28]

Pf, who was the batter on that play?

Here's hoping Prince delivers the game-winner.

Albert Pujols

[GB12]

Pf, who was the batter on that play?

Here's hoping Prince delivers the game-winner.

What play? Pujols was the DP opportunity if that's what you mean.

Fielder got a single, Suppan popped out trying to bunt.

[Geo]

Ah, thanks. That dp could have won the game and given Gagne the save, too bad.

[princefielder28]

Going to extras....would not be suprised if Gallardo is used as a pinch hitter if the pitcher's spot comes around again.

[GB12]

Well Yost has said that Gallardo is the first option for a pinch hitter after position players.

[princefielder28]

Well Yost has said that Gallardo is the first option for a pinch hitter after position players.

I am talking even before Rivera or Hardy are used up

[GB12]

I am talking even before Rivera or Hardy are used upRivera isn't included since he's the back up catcher. Hardy would definitely hit before Gallardo unless it's a situation where we aren't in position to score a run that inning and we'd save Hardy for a more important at bat. The pitchers spot won't come up for another 7 batters anyways.

[princefielder28]

Mota with some onions

[EvilMonkey]

Big win for the crew. The Gabes get it down in the end. Another really nice showing by mcclung as well.

[princefielder28]

GABE Kapler drives in GABE Gross for the win!

[roidrunner]

good win today, lets keep it going

[EvilMonkey]

Shortly after scoring the winning run today, announced Gabe Gross has been traded to Tampa Bay for a pitching prospect. Really wouldnt be any room for him in a week or 2, so probably a smart trade.

Sad to see him go but hopefully this kid that they acquired can develop into a solid prospect

[EvilMonkey]

yeah the guy they got hasnt done anything yet but still was a 2nd rounder in 06. Probably isnt the prospect he was when drafted but still cant really argue with getting a 2nd rounder 2 years ago for gabe gross.

[GB12]

Good. It's not so much that I dislike Gabe Gross, I just hated how Yost would use him. He was always one of his favorite pinch hitters even though he was almost never hitting well. With Kapler, Gwynn, and Cameron all of which are better than him so there's no room anyway. Butler is a long ways away from being anywhere near Milwaukee, but he's a decent prospect.

[GB12]

Big play by Rickie Weeks there.

Also nice to see Geoff back at Miller Park.

[princefielder28]

Great start for the offense

[princefielder28]

#28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[princefielder28]

Dave Bush shows what happens if you don't throw strikes and you have to work from behind....tied at 3

[princefielder28]

that called third strike against prince was awful!

[princefielder28]

Dave Bush SUCKS!

[princefielder28]

Hamels kicked the Brewers' ass tonight....11 K's!

[princefielder28]

Prince again!

[Sportsfan486]

Prince again!

Is he alive now?!

[princefielder28]

Is he alive now?!

2 homers off of Hamels....I think so

[Geo]

<3 Prince Fielder

I'm so glad I was able to trade for him in fantasy last week. ;)

[princefielder28]

<3 Prince Fielder

I'm so glad I was able to trade for him in fantasy last week. ;)

I love him too :)

[Sportsfan486]

It's just too bad we have to actually pitch half the game. Otherwise we'd be a juggernaut.

[princefielder28]

Game over! Turnbow saves it!

[GB12]

Turnbow actually got the save. Doesn't change my feelings on him, but thank god. These extra inning games could hurt us later in the year.

[princefielder28]

Props have to go out to Mitch Stetter as well. He has pitched so well since getting the call up and has provided Yost with a nice second left handed option out of the pen.

[yodapoop]

How about that game for ur top 3 whipping boys Brewer fans? Fielder with 2 homers, Turnbow with a save, and Yost managing a great game. Managing with guts, I love it. Now Turnbow is confident, Prince is back on track, and it was a good game. BTW, I am going back to Miller Park on Friday night. The Brewers are 0-2 when I don't see them play the Pirates, 2-0 when I do. Lets see if they can beat the Marlins. And I get in half price, and if its $1 hot dog night, I'm gonna have 15.

You know, you're sig would be so much better without the first half.

[yodapoop]

You know, you're sig would be so much better without the first half.

Should I also say if the Cards ever trade Pujols I will be a Brewer fan? BTW, the Crew are 6-3 at home now, 0-2 when I go ha, ha! Season tickets for me??????

[drowe]

good win.

but, let's review something here:
we're keeping 14 pitchers so our bullpen doesn't get stretched. and, what happened last night...we had no bullpen AND we've been using pitchers as pinch hitters.

i officially question this strategy.

[EvilMonkey]

good win.

but, let's review something here:

i officially question this strategy.

yeah, Bush has gotta be gone I assume when Cameron comes back. I also wouldnt mind Dillon getting called back up, but Stetter and McClung who are the most likely options to get sent down are pitching great right now. Even if we keep 13 pitchers and have Kapler, Gwynn, and Counsell as pinch hitters with Rivera for emergencies I could be ok with that.

[princefielder28]

Rickie Weeks' work on turning the double play has become evident through this game.

[princefielder28]

Suppan with seven solid innings allowing one earned run...offense has been non-existent today

[roidrunner]

well atleast it is good to hear that suppan is pitching a good game

[roidrunner]

is it me or does it seem like Riske is getting lit up lately.

[princefielder28]

well atleast it is good to hear that suppan is pitching a good game

david riske came in and really struggled...allowed a 2 run double to Burrell

[roidrunner]

hopefully one of our bats will come through to save us.

[princefielder28]

hopefully one of our bats will come through to save us.

It's gonna have to be Hart, Hardy, or Counsell

[roidrunner]

Counsell baby, he has been hitting rather well for us

[princefielder28]

Counsell baby, he has been hitting rather well for us

and Brad Lidge did blow 2 saves last year against Milwaukee

[roidrunner]

well here is to hoping, i have faith in my brewers

[roidrunner]

thats the game brewers lose 3-1

[princefielder28]

thats the game brewers lose 3-1

Florida is up next...if they do not win that series I will be very disappointed; the Marlins are a nice story so far but let's be realistic

[roidrunner]

yea, we should be able to beat them,

who is projected starters for the series?

[princefielder28]

yea, we should be able to beat them,

who is projected starters for the series?

Friday : Gallardo vs Olsen
Saturday : Villanueva vs Hendrickson
Sunday : Parra vs Nolasco

[roidrunner]

should be an interesting series to watch, alot of young pitchers. what is the word on sheets?

[princefielder28]

should be an interesting series to watch, alot of young pitchers. what is the word on sheets?

He's scheduled to make his next start to begin the Chicago series...it'll come down to him being able to throw his curveball comfortably

[roidrunner]

well we will need him to the Chicago series, i think that series is one we will need to win.

[roidrunner]

so Oswalt might be on the market, would be nice for us to get him, but i dont think the Astros will trade him to a team that is in the division.

Also what about trying to aquire Street, cause we might need some bullpen help, cause i am already sick of the Gagne roller coaster.

[GB12]

Is this the first time for the retro jerseys this year?

[princefielder28]

Is this the first time for the retro jerseys this year?

i believe it is

[GB12]

What's up with that. If anything they should be wearing it more than just one day a week, not less.

[yodapoop]

Brewers record with yodachu in attendance: 0-3!

[princefielder28]

Brewers record with yodachu in attendance: 0-3!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[yodapoop]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I will prolly be going for more, especially since May 9th-12th, 4 games against Cards, all 4 half-price tickets, 4 $1 hot dog night. I WILL BE GOING!

[princefielder28]

Mike Rivera will a sensational play to prevent a Marlins' run!

[princefielder28]

Mitch Stetter with a clutch performance today...comes in with bases loaded and gets 2 Ks and a pop out

[princefielder28]

another extra innings game is on the way

[princefielder28]

Seth McClung sucks!

[yodapoop]

Dave Bush is gone!

[GB12]

Mitch Stetter with a clutch performance today...comes in with bases loaded and gets 2 Ks and a pop out
That was a great job. Unfortunately I wasn't paying full attention because there was something more entertaining going on in the stands. A couple rows behind me there was some guy that was just out cold (had more than a few too many). He's sitting in his seat with his head down passed out. So his buddies decide to have a little fun with this. One guy takes two large soda cups and balances them on his head. His friends clap for it. This gets me and the people around to turn around and see what's going on because there was nothing going on in the game to get that response. So at this point the people in our section are all watching and one of his friends stacks another two on. Everyone in our section lets out a cheer; he's still out and has no idea what's going on. The cheer gets the two neighboring sections interested so now sections 422-424 and some random people that have come over from other sections to see what's going on are all watching this guy. Some people in the row infront of them hand his friend a couple more cups and he proceeds to carefully put them on top of the other four. He's successful and the three sections go wild. No reaction from the guy he's still out and now has six soda cups stacked on top of his head. Sitting down and with the cups it must have been 6 feet high because it was as tall as his friend. It stays that way with out falling through the top half of the 7th inning. Mid way through the 7th inning stretch he wakes up. Poor timing because the crowd reaction would have been a lot better if it wasn't during Roll Out the Barrell. The rest of the ball park must have been confused as hell if they didn't know what was going on. I wish I had a picture to share with you guys, but there were a lot of other people with cameras so maybe it will find its way online.

Big series this week against the Cubs at Wrigley. Big Ben returns tonight as well as Mike Cameron....can't wait!

[roidrunner]

yea i can not wait for the game tonight. big series, hopefully big ben can keep up his ways. and im excited about seeing cameron play, we need him to be a spark plug for us.

[AtariBigby]

I miss the days of Rockin Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Cecil Cooper, Ben Oglivie, Gorman Thomas....... Pete Vucovich and Don Sutton on the mound, Rolllie Fingers in the bullpen..... have the Brewers made the playoffs since then?

They're due. Overdue.

[princefielder28]

Mike Cameron with a double in his first at bat!

[Sportsfan486]

Not a great start for Sheets. Hopefully he settles down now.

[princefielder28]

The bats are starting to heat up

[princefielder28]

Corey Hart is a homer away from the cycle

[roidrunner]

sheets has walked 7 so far, something is wrong with his command

[princefielder28]

Thank you Mike Cameron!

3-4, 2 R, 2 RBI

[roidrunner]

yea cameron has been really solid today, did sheets factor into the win tonight?

[princefielder28]

yea cameron has been really solid today, did sheets factor into the win tonight?

he's in line for the win

[roidrunner]

sweet well lets keep it going, and lets also keep the lead large enough so that we do not have to use gagne tonight. for some reason he still makes me nervous everytime he takes the mound.

[princefielder28]

little late for that now

[roidrunner]

yea i just noticed that, damit Torres, you were doing so well at the start of the season. lets keep the lead and get the win.

[roidrunner]

come on JJ we need you drive this run in, we dont need to waste a prince double to start out the inning

[princefielder28]

come on JJ we need you drive this run in, we dont need to waste a prince double to start out the inning

BINGO!!!!!

[Boston]

Last year, if we scored ten runs, it was usually five in two innings, or 10 in one inning. This is nice. 10 runs, six innings where runs were scored.

[roidrunner]

ok, lets keep this offensive out put going, we should play the cubs every day.

[Boston]

God I hate Cub fans.

[roidrunner]

they make me want to vomit, i actually dumped a girl when she confessed she was a cubs fan to me.

[princefielder28]

they make me want to vomit, i actually dumped a girl when she confessed she was a cubs fan to me.

haha reminds me of that espn commerical with the blind date when the woman was from michigan and the guy who jumped out of the vehicle was a buckeyes supporter

[roidrunner]

MOTA!!!!!!!!!!!! strikes out the Domer.

Yea, she was like, i have to confess something, im a cubs fan. i told her that we were over.

[Boston]

MOTA!!!!!!!!!!!! strikes out the Domer.

Yea, she was like, i have to confess something, im a cubs fan. i told her that we were over.

I hope you took a loong shower after that one ended.

[princefielder28]

Looks like it's gonna be Gagne time in the 9th!!!!

[roidrunner]

basically it was me standing in the shower, scrubbing myself, repeatedly say, "unclean" over and over again.

[roidrunner]

please god no, dont put gagne in, he always seems to **** it up

[princefielder28]

basically it was me standing in the shower, scrubbing myself, repeatedly say, "unclean" over and over again.

i would've gone with tomato juice similar to being sprayed by a skunk

[roidrunner]

the worst part is i live near chicago, so all i get is cubs fans, if i had to i would settle for a sox fan, atleast they are not the cubs. brewers fans down here are rather rare. but there is this smoking hot blonde girl in my politics class who is a brewers fan. man i love it when the brewers and cubs play and the brewers win, cuz she wears a low cut brewer shirt when they do.

hopefully she can wear it tomorrow then...always a win-win

[roidrunner]

dont have class with her tom, but thursday i do, so here is to hoping.

[roidrunner]

i swear to god gagne you better get this save

[roidrunner]

Brewers Win!!

[Boston]

Yeah Billy Hall!!

[princefielder28]

Brewers Win!!

Gagne had pretty good control tonight and a win against the Cubs is always great

[roidrunner]

the strike he threw before the out was rather nice, i must admit that

[princefielder28]

This is ugly real early, but thank god it's only the first

[roidrunner]

yea really ugly, looks like the hot girl might not be out tom... :( so depressing, come on brew crew, i need you.

[Sportsfan486]

Whoa, I just turned on ESPN after a heated battle over Mark Wahlberg in the Hot Chicks thread distracted me!

OUCH! Suppan got that banged up? Jeez.

[princefielder28]

Cubs have opened up a can of whoop ass on the Crew

[roidrunner]

that was a painful thing to watch, it made me cry to watch it. not hot girl i guess. hopefully tomorrow will be better we can get the series win

[yodapoop]

That was some great **** right there. I called a good outing for Suppan today, I will make no more calls. But I will say, ZAMBRANO THROWS A NO-NO tomorrow.

[Sportsfan486]

You do know it has the actual effect if it's the opposing team, right? So it's happening. AND I'M BLAMING YOU, YODA!

[roidrunner]

Yoda if your right i am going to rep rape you for the rest of your life..... JK. That better not happen i will have to lock myself in a room till we sweep the cubs three times in a row. I ******* hate the cubs

[princefielder28]

Gallardo really looked like he suffered a terrible injury but he is walking under his own power thankfully

[roidrunner]

god damit, why does it seem that everytime we get back to full health we end up losing another one.

[princefielder28]

god damit, why does it seem that everytime we get back to full health we end up losing another one.

well he stayed in the game somehow so there's no worries at the moment

[princefielder28]

Braun goes deep and this one is tied!

[roidrunner]

ok good, cause i would be pissed if we lost gallardo, we need all the quality pitching we can get

[roidrunner]

brewers tie it up on a Braun homer, the "hebrew hammer" does it again

[princefielder28]

Win of the Year!

[roidrunner]

thats what i like to see. GO BREWERS!!!!!!!!

[Boston]

Yay for short term memory!

[princefielder28]

Get up, Get up, Get outta here, Gone! Derrick Turnbow designated for assignment and Joe Dillon called up

[Pacific]

Get up, Get up, Get outta here, Gone! Derrick Turnbow designated for assignment and Joe Dillon called up

Good move on both fronts. Joe Dillon needs to stay on our roster imo.

[princefielder28]

Good move on both fronts. Joe Dillon needs to stay on our roster imo.

Dillon does bring alot of versaility off the bench and he is a good contact hitter so he's key in pinching hitting situations.

[princefielder28]

Matt LaPorta Update

In 26 games Matt is batting .319 with 9 homers and 30 runs batted in.

I think he'll end up playing right field when he comes up to the majors with Hart moving over to center. Braun could be an option for right too and have LaPorta play left because Ryan has shown a pretty strong arm and he wouldn't be a liability in that dpeartment in right.

[EvilMonkey]

Dillon does bring alot of versaility off the bench and he is a good contact hitter so he's key in pinching hitting situations.

yeah, Dillon being up means I should never see Mike Rivera at 1st base, no matter what the situation is. Didnt do bad there or anything, but we just need a little more than him as our backup 1B in a pinch.

[roidrunner]

well dillon got call up, in replacement of Derrick Turnbow.

[Whistler6]

Ya know.. I am a little bummed about Turnbow. He's a goon, but he seemed like a good guy. I loved when he was throwing smoke. He converted 51 of his first 55 saves. Poor guy. Ah well, he won't be playing for us but he still gets 3.2 million dollars.

Think about it. His ERA is 15.00... That means if he pitched a full 9 innings, the other team would score 15 runs. SICK. I was looking on ESPN.com and the stat for ''last 7 days'' for Turnbow said ERA of 81.00 ... That's enough to make a man ralf.

There's no worse feeling that being up by 1 in the 9th and having your relief pitcher walk the first guy nearly every single time. Thankfully Gagne came back last night. He's coming around.

[roidrunner]

i think it is a good thing we moved him down, he needs to get his head cleared up so he can pitch

[roidrunner]

is anyone else kinda pissed off that we had at one point Dana Eveland on our team now look at him in oakland??? i mean a starting line up with sheet, Yo, Dana, Soup, and Villie. That would be so sick.

[EvilMonkey]

Gallardo has a torn ACL......

yeah I knew it was too good to be true when he continued to pitch yesterday after what looked like a serious knee injury and it turns out to be true

[GB12]

God that's awful.

Dare I say Ben Sheets 2.0?

[Sportsfan486]

God that's awful.

Dare I say Ben Sheets 2.0?

That made me bawl like an 8 year old girl that got kicked in the shin.

[princefielder28]

Ryan Braun starting to heat up!

[princefielder28]

Damn! Astros using the long ball to get ahead

[princefielder28]

Rough loss tonight....could not stop the astros from going deep
