awesome brewers are already up 1-0 and threatening to put up more in the bottom of the first

 

i don't think i can express my pure dislike of the brewers enough to satisfy my disgust...

 

:x

 

oh boys.... 3-0 now

[sweetpeteman]

I hate Philly. Play hard against the Cubs but suck against the Brewers.

[anabiono]

4-0

[JGalt73]

The Phillies OF are not too good. Looks like the Brewers may well sweep the Phils.

[inari]

I had felt good about taking 3 of 4 from the Phillies, but apparently they're not good.

[dew1679666265]

Braves leading the Rockies 3-2 in the 6th, but the Rocks are threatening with runenrs on first and second with Helton up.

 

Chuck James is above 90 pitches already.

Too bad we only won 2 of 4...

[E.J.]

Meh. The Brewers have shown they're a much better team at home than they are on the road. 15 of their next 23 games are on the road, so we'll see how they do the rest of this month.

[dew1679666265]

Rockies lead 4-3 now with the bases loaded and one out still in the sixth.

 

James is out and Tyler Yates (making around his 50th appearance this year) is in.

Is Adam Wainwright really hitting 8th for the Cardinals today? TLR's genius at work again?

and of course he hits a home run

Looking at upcoming pitching match up from ESPN .com

 

Brewers

 

Vargas @ Fogg

Capuano @ Hirsh

Gallardo @ Francis

 

Bush @ Jennings

Suppan @ Albers

Vargas @ Rodriguez (ESPN.com doesn't have this but those would be the next in line)

 

 

 

Cubs

 

Hill @ Rodriguez

Marshall @ Williams

Zambrano @ Oswalt

 

Lilly @ Jimenez

Marquis @ Cook

Hill @ Fogg

Marshall @ Hirsh (Again my prediction based on next in line

 

Thoughts, We miss Francis and he faces the Brewers but the Brewers have their best starter going against him. While the Brewers miss Oswalt, we've got our best pitcher going that night too, and one who has shown complete dominance over the Astros.

 

Sadly facing Wandy scares me even more so at home where he actually has pretty good numbers, on the other hand is there any doubt he's going to get completely abused by the Brewers?

I could be remembering wrong, but I think we tore Wandy up the last time we faced him.

yeah houston might as well spot the brewers 6 runs and put a long reliever into the game. Braun vs Wandy = batting practice.

[Shilzzz]

it seems like the astros have been playing decent lately, too.

[Brian]

I think so in the first series after the ASB, but no matter what has happened positively in the past I'm going to assume crappy left = doom for the foreseeable future. Wandy also has pretty drastic home/road splits.

[Derwood]

Brewers are up 4-0 :(

[Ender]

They have been outscored 61-41 in their past 6 games giving up an average of over 10 runs per game.

Yeah, I'm always concerned, but beating up Wandy last time gives me a little hope against him.

[Brian]

stop the presses Ryan Braun has homered.

 

He's going to catch Prince soon :roll:

[Brian]

6-0 and counting.

 

Phillies being 2 hit

[Marco4]

Good news for my fantasy team, that Ryan Braun homer. Bad news for myself.

[dew1679666265]

I just have to say - the Braves dancers during commercial breaks are amazingly hot.

[Marco4]

Philly pull one back. 1-6 now.
