Beat the Astros!

[pitchleague]

I'm excited, I'll say that much! Ready to break out my Retro hat. Hope the good Sheets shows up and the rookie doesn't do his magic twirling act. Or is that our hitters?

[iluvlamp]

Come on Benny, turn in a good one tomorrow.

[cruiserx43]

Anybody got a read on this Albers kid?

[billyhallfan]

I was wondering the same thing, I have never even heard of him?

[wOOgiE22]

Here are Albers stats from the Minors. They do not look too impressive to me.

[billyhallfan]

thanks woogie...

[SlideBernieSlide]

Is that Albers is your picture woogie? I have no clue, personally, but the Albers on MLB.com looks quite different

I think you might have a picture of Fernando Nieve up accidently?

[wOOgiE22]

Haha thanks! The name I found under that picture was Albers. I for some reason knew that picture didn't look right to me.

[brewtank34]

Miller Park is going to be rocking tonight. Sheets is going to get off on that and turn in a stellar performance. Brewers win, 6-4. Coco with another save.

 

Here's a shout out to my man Cecil Cooper "Cooooooooop"

May the "coop" Gods be with the Crew tonight.

[Nearsighted Views]

Check out Albers pic on Brewers.com. He looks like a total punk. I have a feeling they're gonna rock this kid tonight. 9-3. Sheets 8 IP 4 H 3 R 2 ER 6K 0BB

[berniebrewer4life]

We have a shot to put some distance between us and the rest of the central, here's to another full day in first place.

[hawing]

Check out Albers pic on Brewers.com. He looks like a total punk.

 

He does have a look that would normally be accompanied by a swagger. C'mon Brewers, wipe that smirk off his face.

[bball123h2]

[texan drawl] Hey boy, this ain't no darn tootin' Round Rock. All that comes from Texas is steers and bad pitchers, and I don't see no horns on you boy. [/texan drawl]

 

I'd say we should hit him hard, but past experience scares me.

[splitterpfj]

Here's to Ben returning to form.

[sheethead]

Can't wait to get to the game tonight, any thoughts on the crowd reaction for El Caballo? I am putting my money on overwhelming boos. I will soak it in, no booing, no cheering, just hoping Sheets K's him at least once and keeps him in the yard. I am more worried about Berkman tonight, he loves hitting at Miller Park and off Ben Sheets.

[rluzinski]

While I always hope for a complete game shutout, I just want to see Sheets be Sheets and strike some guys out. If he does that, he'll be fine. He just needs to regain command of his curveball.

[patrickgpe]

I am going to game #6 already tonight. I plan on cheering Lee when the lineups are announced and thats it. I think he deserves a warm welcome but won't get one.

[brewtank34]

I'll be cheering for Lee. Just not to hit any HR's. I hope he strikes out each time up. But I'm not going to boo him. I really hope we don't hear a lot of boo's.

[BrewCrewForever]

Another retro Friday, does anyone have their record between last season and the 1 game so far this season wearing those uni's?

They were 6-7 last year on Sunday home games.

 

They lost the Friday game to the Cubs.

 

So that makes them 6-8.

 

*edited for typo

[BrewCrewForever]

So that makes them 6-8.

 

Hmmm, that is not as bad as I thought it was. Maybe they shouldn't burn those uni's.

[don1481]

I see our friend Mr. Braun is only hiting .280

 

Bench the bum! He'll never pan out as a prospect!

[endaround]

Braun is doing well, but I think people are still overvaluing what he would give the Brewers, Keep in mind prior to being called up to Milwaukee Weeks in AAA was hitting:

.320/.403/.655 (This is from Brewerfan , so the OBP is likely low do to the HPB not working correctly.)

[thablingster]

It seemed like we were a lot worse in the retros than 6-8. I think it is because almost every time we'd lose in them, we got pounded. lol

 

This actually lends credence to the theory that people have selective memory and only remember what they want to, lol.
