This isn't a good sign when i'm the first to post

[uwmbrewers]

we'll still win though

[Yeti73]

Everyone is over in the Rumors section. I'm not sure the month of July (and impending trade deadline) has ever garnered this much anticipation. Let's hope Melvin doesn't pull a Gary Payton for Ray Allen type deal or Doyle Alexander for 12 straight playoff appearances.

[davego]

If the Tigers would have hit a bit in the Metrodome, that would have gone down as a super trade. Detriot would have made the series. Funny how things work out...

 

Go Crew!

Well.. if they renamed the thread to: Pirates at Brewers / CC Watch it would be on page 35 right now.

Any other DirecTV users getting the standard CH 642 broadcast but missing the HD on 642-1?

I was surprised to see how "low" Soup's ERA was. I guess I thought his last few starts would have ballooned it even more. Here is to righting the ship today.

[pebadger]

OK, DirecTV HD game broadcast now on for me.

[thablingster]

Lets go Gazpacho. We can get to Duke and get this sweep.

[crewcrazy]

Before the Baltimore start, Suppan's ERA was at 3.68. Of course, he wasn't pitching particularly well before that start to begin with (lots of unearned runs helping him out).

[thablingster]

I dig the stars and stripes hats, but they are definitely not worth the $35 they want for them in the MLB shop or at Lids. Good to see Soup turning a quick inning so far here.

[sheetskout]

Rickie Weeks is especially my guy today. Let's get Rickie going.....will it with me.

[Team Canada]

Approach JJ Hardy at your own risk..

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

el fuego goes deep for 2

[crewcrazy]

J.J. EN FUEGO!!

 

Even though he was hitless last night, this is just getting insane.

[Team Canada]

That Braun guy ain't too shabby either. I like these guys.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

back to back jacks jj and braun

[hurricanecrush]

As for JJ... Wow. Just wow!

 

Now Braunie?

 

Back to back jacks!!!

[SeriesFinale]

(In my best barely-restrained Ron Santo voice): BACK TO BACK JAAAAAACKS!!!!!

[ELCABALLO45]

Hardy and Braun

 

And about time Wilson acts human

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

braun is a all star starter...just announced

[crewcrazy]

Braun starts the All-Star game! Way to go, Ryan.

[iluvlamp]

Congrats to Braun. That is awesome.
