5/19/07 Twins (Baker) @ Brewers (Bush): 6:05 PM CDT

[hawing]

Dear Islands and Stevo:

 

Appreciate the thought from last night; but seeing as though we sit in the family section, you just might have made the right call.

 

Welcome to Madison (Islands at least),

 

hawing.

 

 

Dear Brian the Automator:

 

This was a nifty idea that summer intern of yours had. Give him whatever quality summer interns get. It means more coming from you.

 

Kudos to b19,

 

hawing

Dear Hawing and Brian,

I never would have suggested it had it not been for the posts of BrewCrewIn2004 and obsessedwithbrewcrew. They deserve most of the credit.

Yours truly,

Dear Brewers:

 

Please forgive me for giving Jeff Cirillo a standing O after his home run last night. I feel I can justify it for a few reasons:

 

1. The game was out of hand at the time.

2. Jeff Cirillo is one of my favorite Brewers of all time.

3. You should have brought him back this season.

4. I was kind of drunk.

 

Also, please start Gabe Gross again. Don't let Mench see the field against the righty. And if Corey Hart is indeed healthy, stop screwing with him.

 

Eternally Yours,

 

Steve

Dear Doug Melvin and Ned Yost..

 

Bring up Ryan Braun so we don't have to see consellino play like $h&t anymore. Give us a spark by calling up a great player.. Also no more Gross battting leadoff, it was painfull yesterday watching him strike out 2 times and sucking... O give me this lineup really soon:

 

RF: Tony Gwynn Jr.

SS: JJ Hardy

1B: Prince Fielder

CF: Bill Hall

2B: Rickie Weeks

C: Johnny Estrada

LF: Kevin Mench, Geoff Jenkins

3B: Ryan Braun

[Oldcity]

Yes, because Gabe Gross was the problem yesterday, with one of the team's three hits and all.

Dear Brewers

 

Please revert back to last homestand Brewers. Get an early lead. Allow Dave Bush to go 7 solid innings with a 5-2 lead. Bring in TBow and Coco for the 8th and 9th and get back to the winning ways we've grown accostomed to this year.

 

Sincerely,

 

MikeRollins

[Schlitz001]

Dear Bernie Brewer,

 

When you are drving to Miller Park today, be sure to stop by the local walgreens and pick up a can up lube to grease up the slide, because it's gonna get some use today.

 

Your friend,

Schlitz the Barrelman

[TooLiveBrew]

Dear Brewers,

 

Please see the lineup doctor to cure whatever allergic reaction we apparently have to baserunners lately. They're essential to jump out to that all-important early lead (or any lead, ever). Please let Counsell and/or Graffy get hot, if only for a game or two. I have faith in Dave Bush, and would love to see some more Gross. He's starting to come around at the plate, and can really help this team win.

 

Please, please an OF of Jenks-Hall-Gross, not one including Mench!

 

Can't see any way around Counsell & Graffy playing, and it doesn't make much sense to bat one of them #2 when the only thing that makes them close to #2 has been their poopy play this season so far.

 

Gratefully,

 

TLB

[mikerollins]

Dear Ned Yost:

 

I really fear the lineup today.

 

Gwynn RF

Hardy SS

Fielder 1B

Hall CF

Estrada C

Jenkins LF

Graffy 2B

Counell 3B

Bush P

 

I fear Gwynn's speed at the top. I think I will give up a lot of runs and I will be gone by the 3rd inning. I better not give up any baserunners to the 7, 8 or 9 hitters because 1-6 looks scary.

 

Sincerely

Scott Baker

[jloos19]

Dear JET15,

 

I know your lineups are pretty and I appreciate it, but couldn't you post the lineups in the form of a letter/note?

 

Much appreciated,

jloos

[AJ Love]

Dear Brent Brewer

 

please keep improving at the fast pace you have been in Single A ball. I know you are only 19 years old, but we may need you sooner than we originally thought.

 

Kind Regards,

 

A.J.

Dear to whom it may concern,

 

the brewers better win or I might freak out

[BrewCrewForever]

Dear Brewerfan.net nation,

 

I had no idea what I was starting when I made that letter to Bill Hall, but Im honored everyone has jumped on board the letter IGT. I know I hated the haiki thread, but now have started a IGT theme of my own. Thanks to all! Lets go Brewers!

 

Your always,

Dear Ned Yost,

 

Graffy, Counsell, Bush - back to back to back? I'm drooling. My arm appreciates the rest it's going to get for about a third of the game.

 

Thanks a bundle!

-Scott Baker

[yfinn6]

I'm watching Brewers live just waiting for the game to come on, and Ann Carrol absolutely butchered the end of her "Armed Forces hat segment". It was painful.

[BrewCrewForever]

Dear Ned Yost,

 

I like that lineup tonight except the part where its Graffanino, Counsell and Bush in a row. That just screams in play out(s). I sure hope hitters 1-6 go on fire.

Dear Brewers,

 

Dont let Scott Baker do to you what you let a game named "Boof" do to you last night.

 

Thanks

[vbkooler]

Dear BF.net nation

 

What do you expect Ned to do with Ricky injured? Counsell and Graffy have to play you want one of them hitting 2? We dont have another infielder to play there so you must play the cards dealt to you.

 

In regards,

Dear Stevo,

 

I really loved this post. It expresses exactly I how feel about Jeff Cirillo. Thanks.

[thablingster]

Dear Dave Bush,

 

When you think about giving up 4 or 5 runs in an inning, don't. Chis Capuano already did that for you, so you can feel free to pitch like the "good" Dave Bush.

 

Thanks,

thablingster

 

Dear Brewers Offense,

 

Please stop slumping. Right now you look terrible. It would be appreciated if you were able to get more than 3 hits, and possibly string together more than two hits in an inning. It would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

thablingster

[Brewers77]

Dear ryanbraun,

 

If you are going to ask us to do something, make it something they can do. Braun is hurt and has been for sometime. He needs to get back to playing at AAA before your request can be completed.

 

Thanks a bunch,

 

Melvin and Yost

[jason21nl]

dear JJ Hardy,

 

will you go out with me? please check yes or no

 

{ } yes

{ } no

[BrewCrewForever]

Dear Geoff Jenkins,

 

I would love to see you hit your 200th HR tonight of your career so I can change my sig. Also if you can do it with a couple on that would be great. Thanks!
