Sorry, I do not have the time between now and the game tomorrow morning to create a complete IGT.

Beat the Pirates!

[brewers19]

Three friggin' day games in a row. Despite the fact that it's a holiday, there are still people who have work and would also like to follow the games.

[hawing]

I choose to assume that the photo on the right above depicts Gorzelanny rage and/or frustration, after he gives up a bunch of Brewer runs.

 

C'mon now. You can manage a split.

[trwi7]

Alright Sheets we need you (again) because everyone else in our rotation blows.

 

Okay then so if Sheets gets the win tomorrow I fully expect a photoshopped picture of Sheets' face on Superman's body.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Looks like Yost is giving Prince this game off. I expect the line-up to look something like this...

 

Prince will get Thursday Off

 

Hart-RF

Hardy-SS

Braun-3B

Hall-CF

Estrada-C

Mench-LF

Graffy or Miller-1B

Weeks-2B

Sheets

[PrimetimeHater]

If we lose this game I am shaving my beard.

[thablingster]

I keep trying to remind myself it is good Gorzelanny is left handed.

 

As I said for Sheets' last start, go get 'em.

 

Left handed lineup, I demand production. That means you, Mench. And especially you, Weeks.

[Lil Dummy]

Who needs the day off more, Weeks or Fielder? Yeesh.

 

Any chance the right side of our infield today is Miller and Graffy?

[Invader3K]

Some kind of lineup shakeup definitely seems in order. Also, I wish this game was on TV. I know it's a weird start time, but a lot of people have off from work today. (Yeah, I know, I always complain when the Brewers aren't on TV).

 

Also, hate to say it, but Gorzelanny seems young and talented, at least on the surface. I want to see the Brewers come in ticked off and knock him around for a bunch of runs. However, he seems like someone the Brewers could possibly target in the future in a trade, since Pittsburgh has a penchant for trading their most talented youngsters. I know, it's within the division and all, but maybe Mr. Melvin could work some magic.

I'm with you. If they lose I'm getting my hair cut.

 

 

By the way, there should be no worries about todays game. I have quite the slow day here at work. So, I am in perfect form to hit up the bathroom anytime that it seems like the Crew may need a trip from me.

[mikevan1818]

Well my Back to the Future Almanac worked yesterday: So looking at it today I see a 2-hit performance by Weeks . . .

[SlideBernieSlide]

Here are the line-ups...

 

Hart-RF

Hardy-SS

Braun-3B

Hall-CF

Mench-LF

Graffy-1B

Miller-C

Weeks-2B

Sheets

 

Bucs

McLouth-CF

Sanchez-2B

Larouche-1B

Nady-RF

Doumit-C

Bay-LF

Bautista-3B

Wilson-SS

Gorzo

[hawing]

Hate to say, but if the current Pittsburgh radar is any indication, I will be surprised if this game starts on time.

 

Edit: Ugh, can they pack more Brewer killer pirates into that lineup? I curse them all.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Judging by that radar, I'd be surprised if there is baseball today. Thats a lot of red and orange about to drill Pittsburgh.

[hawing]

Yeah; and even if they try to wait it out, I'd spend the whole game worrying about how many Brewer injuries would be sustained on what by then would be mighty soggy turf.

 

I'd like the Brewers to have a shot at restoring some momentum with a Sheets start, but that may not be in the cards (small c) today.

[iluvlamp]

CRUSH! ACY! SPLIT!

[brewers255]

There will be baseball today, the rain isnt that large of a band and should be over in about a hour when it starts. There's nothing after that. I say a 1:15 start ct or something like that.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Yeah. I just emailed me friend who works in downtown Pittsburgh for a report. He says there should be baseball today. The real heavy stuff shouldn't hit until late tonight.

[Klements Bratwurst]

You know, if this game isn't played today, I am not sure that is a bad thing.

 

Prince gets his day off, the team gets out of Pittsburgh with winning 1 out of 3 and goes on to the offensively challenged Nats with Ben Sheets getting the ball in game one. If they get 2 of 3 there a 4-5 road trip wouldn't be terrible.

 

Plus then the Cubs will get Gorzelanny instead of the entrie back end of the Pirate rotation come this weekend.

[crewcrazy]

Ueck is saying 1:05 CT (hopefully). The Brewers can't wait around all afternoon waiting to play the game, since they need to get on a plane for DC right after the game.

[jhart05]

Bob just said they will come back at 1pm central time.

 

That's at least an hour and a half rain delay.

[sgtcluels]

Wow that stinks.. guess I'll leave work around 1 then. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Teehee

[SlideBernieSlide]

Cant argue with those points Klement.

[saget]

I'm not shaving till Corey shaves. And he won't shave till his hitting streak is over(I would assume).

 

Keep the streak alive!

12:05 is the update from Jeff Wagner.
