  1. No need to scoreboard watch. This is a guaranteed win for the Brewers. They're 12-4 vs. Houston this year with their ace on the mound vs. a nobody. Meanwhile we have ace vs. ace, so its all on big Zs shoulders tonight.
  2. I havnt been this pumped after a win since that one over the Rockies when Eyre and Howry combined to blow a 7 run 9th inning lead and we came back and took it back.
  3. Another barnburner baby. It may not have been a pretty win, but it was a win, and thats what counts. As Mike North would say, most Brewers fans will wake up tomorrow morning thinking they're in a first place tie.
  4. If they cant get this done, I will personally kill the next 3 batters.
  5. Why is it that every time we face Weathers Len and Bob talk it up like were facing Mariano Rivera?
  6. Here comes Ohman vs. the heart of the Reds linup. Game. Set. Match.
  7. Here comes Old Man Stanton. I dont care if hes a lefty, this is a god damn gift. Time to capitilize.
  8. 6-4, 1 on, 1 out and we have 3.2 innings vs. one of the worst bullpens known to man to scratch out a few runs. Can it be done? Without a doubt. Will it be done? It depends how high the Cubs run the Strand-O-Meter.
  9. The Brewers are running a clinic on poor Matt Alber, so we need to hang on here and put some more runs up.
  10. Some lucky bastard just won a grand.
  11. Is this team gunning for some kind of record for runners stranded?
  12. If Cuban takes over, I could see it happening. The O's will want a hell of a big package in return though.
  13. The difference is Soto has been red hot all year, not just recently. As for pie, i'm still convinced he'd be just fine if he was ever given consistant AB's. Ronny Cedeno had some pretty impressive AAA stats as well. Hopefully Soto can be our Ryan Braun/Hunter Pence. Were well over due for a big time offensive prospect to make good.
  14. after the red hot starts of Pie, Pagan, and Fontenot, Im not going to get too attached to Soto, but he definitely deserves a PO spot over Blanco.
  15. I think that's quite obviously true...but...who's our backup SS? Are we going to rely on Fontenot/Derosa as out-of-position backups? How about Cesar Izturis? Oh wait, we traded him for an Emty Gator aid cooler.
  16. Lets hop the thought of coming home to an angry mob loaded with blunt objects upon returning home is enough to get Demp through this one.
  17. Soto will be on the roster. Wanna know who wont be? Starts with R and ends with onny Cedeno.
  18. Lets get some runs. The last thing we want is Dempster, a 2 run lead, and the heart of the Cards order coming up.
  19. If the Cubs hang on, the laughable amount of stranded baserunners will be a footnote. If they blow it, it will be the story of the day.
  20. Brilliant outing for Marquis so far, but I get the impression that it may be time for him to take a seat.
  21. Soriano DeRosa Lee Ramirez Murton Monroe Soto Cedeno Marquis Consider this the first bitch about Cedeno in the lineup. Im actually mising Izturis for the first time. Maybe Lou should pull a LaRussa and bat Marquis 8th. Jones, Floyd, Ward, and Kendall off the bench could be clutch if it comes down to it.
  22. I never thought Id say this, but if we're struggling this much against the Cardinals, where going to really have trouble against the Reds and Pirates. Lets just hope Mulder doesnt choose today as his breakout game.
  23. Atta boy Demp. This doesnt mean I trust him.
  24. ATTN Ryan Dempster: If you blow this one, dont bother getting on that plane/bus tommorow afternoon.
