Beat the Bucs!

[And That]

Sheets... Smash!

 

We really need a win heading into that tough Nationals series.

[bucksman4]

I'll be there to watch 'my boy' Sheetsie go against Armas. $1 dogs and awesome seats...what more could I want? How bout another Brewers win. Now that we're 10 over, why not go for 11...12...13....it's time to get greedy!

[patrickgpe]

I'll be there to see the Pirates in the worst alternative jerseys in baseball

[trwi7]

It really can't be said enough. Great job on the game threads woogie.

[AJ Love]

thank you, woogie, for these continued awesome In-Game thread headers. Great work!

[pitchleague]

now that they've won 4 in a row (good chance of 5 on Sunday) who do the Cubs play next?

[bucks2281]

Cubs play the Pirates at home this week. Then, they play the Phillies and Mets on the road. Basically, they have the same schedule as the Brewers (except Interleague Play) for the rest of the month.

[iluvlamp]

CRUSH! SAVAGE! DOMINATE!

[Schlitz001]

Prediction: 7-5 W, Hart HR, CoCo SV, Sheets W

[BrewCrewForever]

My first post in a IGT in two games. Missed the last two because I was away from home. Feels good to post again. Come on boys take #3 of 4 from these Pirates. Does Sheets go out today and try to get some of Pitts from that stunt they pulled yesterday? We'll see.

[razzzorsharp]

Would be nice to get 3 of 4. It would be even nicer to see a dominating and healthy Sheets locate his pitches.

[BrewCrewForever]

It would be even nicer to see a dominating and healthy Sheets locate his pitches.

 

Yes! I want to see the dominant Ben Sheets that looks like a Cy Young contender not the average Ben Sheets.

[uecker9]

Is Tony Armas like that girl on SNL who puts her hands in her armpits and smells them? He looks like he's giving himself a noseful of the Armas armpit.

[Invader3K]

I'm going to be at today's game. Looking forward to it.

[Vgmastr]

Remember those "Turn Ahead the Clock" uniforms most teams wore for a game in 1999? It's looks like the Pirates one has darn near come true with these new alternates.

 

Pirates' Turn Ahead the Clock uniform

[Bert55]

Today's prediction: Brewers 7 Pirates 1

 

Jenks goes yard.

 

Sheets pitches 7 innings. Strikes out 6

 

Good time was had by all.

 

Go Brewers

[crewcrazy]

Why do the Pirates insist that red is one of their team colors? The National League uniforms at last year's All-Star game weren't even as ugly as the red ones they've been sporting this year...ugh.

[hawing]

He looks like he's giving himself a noseful of the Armas armpit.

 

The first thing I thought of, when I saw that picture, was that irritating Right Guard commercial that MLB.com keeps showing, where the guy fights the deer, checks the pits and announces that "WE'RE GOOD!."

 

Yet another tip of the cap to Woogie for incorporating less than flattering pictures of the opponents' starters.

[funkyplaidcoat]

I'd like another hit from sheets, more JJ action, and a confidently close game to get Turnbow a hold. I could really use one to maintain my stranglehold on my fantasy league.

[pebadger]

[brewcrew00]

Glad to see TGJ getting a start. Billy needs a day off to rethink his plate approach. He's just hacking right now.

[jason21nl]

i like this line up more than the last time Hall sat..i think last time he sat, Weeks was also out....Brewers don't lose much if anything when Gross and Counsell play over Mench/Hart or Graffy... and TGJ can't do much worse than Billy at this point. Hopefully with Sheets pitching tonight, he shuts them down and this awesome home stand continues to be filled with Ws

[Brian the Automator]

Over the last 7 games, Hall's carrying a .805 OPS. While we all would hope he does better than that, it's not like he's really scuffling.

[sgtcluels]

Skaalen was on the radio this morning. He said that Hall is pressing to hard, taking himself out of a lot of at bats by trying to swing for the seats. He's getting better at pitch selection and said he and Weeks are starting to get back in the groove and their numbers should look more normal. He also said that Hall more then likely won't be dropped in the order, as Yost has massive faith in Billy.

 

Billys not benched today due to performance, but due to the fact we've seen 3 lefties in a row and the bench needs to play. (Go Gabe!)
