The Brewers (49-40) hope to climb back into the wildcard lead with a win over the Rockies (37-52) and a little help from the Phillies tonight. Tonight's starters:

[Menotti80]

Looking at those records/ERAs vs their opponents... YIKES!!!

 

oh well, i will be there tonight, so CC should have no problem getting his first win as a Brewer based on my 8-0 record this year (knock on wood)

[ELCABALLO45]

Well technicaly Sabathia's stats this year would read

 

0-0, 0.00 ERA

 

Since he is changing leagues his stats for the year go back to nothing, but im just nitpicking http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

 

Welcome to Milwaukee CC, hopefully he has a great debut and hopefully he gets a hit as well, be loud Milwaukee.

 

Go Brewers!

[Fear The Chorizo]

Can we please stray from the norm and abuse Redman like the rest of the league apparently does?

[Oldcity]

This will be awesome. It would be nice if the Brewers could rough up Redman to make it a 2.5 hour CC celebration.

True, but that K/BB number is so pretty I couldn't resist. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

[Mike Felder]

Fired up for this one tonight! I'll be in the LF bleachers...I think I might have to keep score tonight to commemorate the start of the CC Sabathia Era!

[jhart05]

Standing room only left for tonight.

Glad I got my tickets for this one in February.

Time to leave work now and head on down to the park.

GO CCREW!!!!!

[SeriesFinale]

No knock, crewcrazy, but man I wish we had a sweet woogie graphic for this one

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I haven't seen a sweet one year smile like that in Wisconsin since Desmond Howard...man are my expectations way too high right now...and I love it!!! GO CC!!!

[iluvlamp]

I am pumped!

One request? If CC stinks tonight no one start a negative thread about how he sucks. Thanks.

 

CRUSH! POUND!SMASH!

[BuckyTuba]

how does this thread only have 10 posts 1.5 hours before gametime??? come on people! (the only reason i can see is that everyone is at the game!)

[zzzmanwitz]

CC hasn't faced Colorado since 2005, his best two seasons are 2006 and 2007, I wouldn't worry about his previous starts vs the Rockies.

[eanelson4]

Skip Bayless predicted that CC will throw ~5 innings and give up 5 earned. Naturally, since Skip is an idiot, this means that CC will have a great game!

[phxMILWfan]

I can't wait for the first pitch, wish I could be at the game. I predict a 7-3 win for the crew tonight. I'm hoping for a sell out, loud and crazy crowd.

Sweet. No where i'd rather be then on the opposite end of a skip bayless prediction.

 

 

 

K prediction: 11 (3 looking)

No offense taken...I wish Woogie was around to make a sparkling new "Welcome to Milwaukee" graphic for CC, too, but it looks like he hasn't been able to make IGT's for awhile.

Unfortunately, today I heard Joe Morgan predict the Brewers to win the division now. I don't want to be on the same side as a Joe Morgan prediction.

And on the seventh day (of July), God rested.

 

This day shall be known as the "Sabath."

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Note to CC...when you've got two strikes on them and the crowd is on their feet going bananas...drop that nasty changeup.

[BrewCrewForever]

I hope CC lives up to the hype right away. I fear if he struggles tonight bandwagon fans will be all over him.

[dlk9s]

Nah, I don't think so. I think even bandwagon fans know he's awesome, but is still allowed to have a bad game sometimes (especially when he might be a little too jacked up for this game).

 

[Sheets4theHOF]

anyone else feeling a CC buzz kill after the harden deal was announced? i'm sure i'll get excited once he starts pitching, but right now my excitement is quite dampened.

[crewcrazy]

The Harden deal only increases my excitement for this race. I really can't wait for the end of the month now.

[Brewtacular]

I demand that the one of with the most money call ESPN right now and have this game broadcast. You have 10minutes. GO.
