We should win this game, but if not I'm guessing it will drain a good portion of the good will a lot of people have felt toward this team over the past few weeks. They'll be very vocal about it and in return be called over reacting meatballs. Tempers will boil and they'll fight back until the game thread is locked. Hopefully we win the game to avoid that kind of uglyness.

Another Shark start I'll miss. Damn you, my laziness, for not finishing this paper!

 

I can't get over how nasty Shark's stuff is combined with how easy his mechanics appear to be. It's seriously my favorite thing about baseball this year.

Was going to post a before/after bet on the first three-game winning streak for this team vs. last year but then I looked it up and realized they didn't win three straight until July 22-24. I knew it was a long time but I thought it was early June.

Really want to break this losing streak at Miller Park today. Tired of losing to these guys.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Brewers fans are treating this rivalry more seriously now? It seems like they are turning into White Sox fans where this "rivalry" is more important than other logical ones at this time (i.e. Cardinals are competing for the division this year and not us). Didnt someone on this board post a picture of some guy's arm tatoo of Bernie the Brewer gunning down a bear cub?

Actually, I was thinking the opposite. In the past, The Brewers have viewed the Cubs as their chief rival, when ours is obviously the Cardinals. Both teams pretty much sucked when the Brewers jumped to the NL and it was a mostly friendly rivalry of who can suck the least. As someone who went to shool in Wisconsin, it was really quite annoying. It's actually more a Milwaukee vs. Chicago rivalry than just sports. They have the little brother syndrome and it's really not even close.

 

The Cubs/Brewers rivalry obviously heated up a few years ago when we were actually competing for the division for the first time. However, the last few years they've been turning to the Cardinals, especially after last year with the Carpenter/T. Plush/Pujols feud. Ironically, none of the 3 players involved are relevant this year for one reason or another and the Brewers are in danger of falling back out or relevance all together.

My Milwaukee friend and I have a bet for every Cubs/Brewers series. Loser has to watch a terrible movie.

 

At this point I should have just bought a DVD copy of Garfield 2: A Tale of Two Kitties.

Did anyone catch Shark's interview on the Score this week? He came off as fairly cocky, but not necessarily in a bad way. They asked him what he would think if Theo and co decided to trade him, would be be disappointed, and his response was "yeah...they're not going to trade me" and then "If they did, I guess I'm just going to win a bunch of games for some other team."

 

It was interesting.

Uh...thanks for the bunt, Hart.

 

Next batter hits a Sac fly, but I'll take it over Hart knocking one over the fence.
