Official Silver Lining Thread

Still tied for first. The thousandth of a percentage point or whatever the Cubs are ahead of the Brewers pretty much gets rounded off. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Here's to hoping the Cubs don't know what to do with a division lead and give it right back if they do get sole possession.

Parra did well against one of the best teams in the National League. Fielder is hitting home runs again.

[afeter]

pressure is off.

Our staff next year looks insane! Any of these guys could be involved: Sheets, Capuano, Gallardo, Parra, Suppan, Villanueva, Bush and Vargas.

 

That is awesome. And man Parra looked like a lefty stuf last night against the Mets.

There's still 3 months left of Brewer Baseball http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

Packer's training camp news isn't dominating the sportscasts!

[drezdn]

Hart is hitting again. The injury doesn't seem to be affecting Prince. Shousey pitched well.

[crewcrazy]

The Cubs have to face El Duque, John Maine, and Tom Glavine in their series with the Mets, and didn't seem to take the pressure of getting to first place too well today against the Phillies. I think the Cubs are going to have just as much trouble against the Mets as the Brewers did.

[Ennder]

I dont' know what is going to happen from here on out but no team has played more over their heads than the Cubs the past 2 months, that team is nowhere near as good as their record over that span and it will eventually catch up to them.

[LS Brewer]

No one emerged from the clubhouse scuffle with a black eye, broken bones, or a one-way ticket to waivers.

I totally agree, they are going to have fits with the Mets just as we did.

 

Hart, Braun and Fielder are all hitting. Now maybe they can do it at the same time. Then well be fine. Gallardo is pitching today. Thats always a good thing.

With the mets having to face El Duque, John Maine, and Tom Glavine i would hope that the Mets could win 2 out of 3. I am really a big fan of Maine and usually switch over to watch that kid pitch. I really hope Glavine gets his 300th aganst the cubs. The Mets to me looked like they were coming out of there troubles during are series which can only mean a huge off. explosion aganst the cubs. Could be high scoring as it's going to be hot and the winds should be blowing out.. GO METS!

[BrewCrewForever]

Glavine getting his 300th agains the Cubs in Chicago would be simply awesome.

The Muzak system at work is playing Corey Hart's "Never Surrender".......and I won't. Ever.

[jjgott]

The Brewers are in sole possession of 1st place right now!

[giffted1]

The Cubs are falling back to earth.

Amen to that! Earlier this season I heard that classic at Woodman's West. It was the best part of my shopping trip.

[thablingster]

Ever since the "hamstring" incident, Johnny Estrada has been hitting well and running(!) the bases.

[jloos19]

Prince Fielder plays for the Milwaukee Brewers.

[zzzmanwitz]

Corey Hart is 6'6"

[Blazer25]

Corey Hart, Prince and the bullpen have been pretty darn good for a few games now. WOW what a win!

 

They may not make the playoffs but they sure are fun to watch for the most part.

[hawing]

Scott Linebrink's Sunday performance took away some of the sting of losing those prospects.

[The Ignitor]

Folks, we won a series against the best offense in the NL, we came back to win one of the games, and we gained a game on the Cubs in this series thanks to the smoking hot Mets. I would say, despite the tough loss today, the Philly series was success!

[adambr2]

I am still in agony after today, but at least the Cubs lost. I am still trying to decide whether to be happy that we're still a game up in the division, or mad that we blew a chance to be 2 up in the division.

[SeriesFinale]

I just said the same thing in the Other Games IGT

 

Given the options I'll choose to be happy about it!
