Come on Bush lets start off the season with a SWEEP!

[trwi7]

Two wins is cool. A sweep would be fantastic.

[rluzinski]

Yeh, a win tomorrow would just be icing on the cake. The crazy thing is, whatever statistical advantage the Cubs might have had in season projections has already been mostly overcome. A win tomorrow and those darn stat-heads would consider the Brewers the new favorites to win the division. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

This may be the single grittiest game we've ever seen. Bush pitching to Kendall? My god.

[iluvlamp]

CRUSH! SLAM! BEHEAD!

2-0.. I say we make it 3-0.

[adamb100]

I dunno if the Cubs forum is sarcasm or not but I'm just rolling the floor laughing to some of there comments:

 

we are due for an early season "score 4 in the first then watch the lead get whittled away before losing 5-4" game.

 

We seem to always kill Dave Bush in the 1st inning, so I expect we'll score 4 in the first, but it won't matter because Dempster will give up about 12 in 4 innings pitched.

 

Gearing up for a Dempsaster.

[ELCABALLO45]

I have also been reading., And geez.. ITS THE 2ND GAME OF THE YEAR! They need to calm down. Not saying im not happy tho..

[RobDeer 45]

If we get a sweep tomorrow and go in to the home opener 3-0, Miller Park might pop it's top. Even if we are 2-1, it will be nuts. Can't wait to be there Fri. I'm very excited/nervous for the game tomorrow. I really hope Bush is on track.

[brewtank34]

I'm not saying 'everyone' on this board by any means, BUT.... if we were 0-2, I highly believe that many of our posters would be freakin out just as much.

 

This is OUR year!!! Go Brewers!!!

[brewtank34]

Bush is going to be just fine....you just wait and see.

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah.. Your are probably right about that lol.

 

Soriano will be batting lead off BTW

[owbc]

Unfortunately, there is a 60% chance of rain tomorrow afternoon, so this one might get delayed. High temp: 47.

[tigerbrew]

Read during ST that Bush now has 4 pitches in his arsenal, hopefully this could lead to better performances from Dave for this season. Let's go D.Bush!

[thablingster]

I hope to not break the string of wins by posting in an IGT, nor do I want to get banned for saying these words, but here it goes.

 

I want sweep suits. Break the 2004 curse. lol

[southpaw121505]

Seriously, Dempster? Lets pound this guy

[igor67]

rlunziski, I believe you are incorrect about making up the projection gap. I noticed this last year and it makes more sense when you think about it. If you figure out the expected wins for the Brewers in this series given each teams projected records and the home field to the Cubs it at worst for the Crew would work out to only say 1.3 wins. Which means that if they lost today they'd only gain 0.7 wins over projections. And if they sweep it still only 1.7 wins and I think the closest I saw them was 2 games. If you also calculate how much ground the Cubs have lost I think it works out then only if we sweep.

[dlk9s]

I hope this success doesn't continue. I don't want a repeat of last year.

[endaround]

Given the numbers its obvious that Rivera should start at 1B

 

Actually given that Prince will likely be hit 2 more times today....

It's still a long season, but it's at least nice to start off on the right foot.

[Gobias Industries]

I'll be in the library all day, studying for my exam at 6:30. Hopefully I can come home after and watch the DVR'd game without hearing about the score or highlights all day. Gonna be tough.

 

Go Brewers!!
