I've gotta get the prediction mojo going again, I predict an 8-2 win! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/devil.gif

Hopefully it turns out better than last night. Let's go Cappy!! (Better throw a complete game shutout, just to be safe.)

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Cappy gotta take this series. Need you to get your 11th win this season and get this team going good into the Reds series where we have to at least take 2 if not sweep to stay in this wild card race.

[razzzorsharp]

I usually don't get to uptight about just one game but if the Brewers lose today I think it will hurt them more mentally than in the standings. You NEED to atleast take series' from teams like the Pirates, Cubs, etc at home.

[BrewersFever]

Heres to a Graffanino walk-off dinger!

[Bruce Ciskie]

The way our offense is going, a complete game shutout might not be good enough to win. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Seems like lots of baseball people think today may be the make-or-break game for the crew as far as Carlos Lee goes, in that if we win, he stays, and if we lose, he goes. Now its obviously not that simple, but losing this game needless to say would not give me a lot of confidence in this club. That said, lets get a win!

I heard Buster Olney say something like that this morning, but I doubt that will be the case. I'm more inclined to believe that they'll keep him through the homestand, but if they lose today, Doug may tend to listen to more phone calls about Lee than usual.

[sheethead]

Corey Hart in RF today, Yay!!!!

[burniebrewer]

Is the game on FSN today? Yahoo shows that it is.

 

Graffanino jumps right into the starting lineup today as well.

 

Clark

weeks may be hurt worse than we thought, i am happy though that we don't have to trout out barnwell again

[mbwcl]

No FSN today. When Daron signed off last night he said they'd be back on Friday.

[Team Canada]

weeks may be hurt worse than we thought

 

I believe yesterday Ned said he was hoping he'd be back in the lineup on Fri.

[bthurley19]

according to milwaukeebrewers.com Weeks will be back in the lineup on Friday. Also the Brewers Schedule and milwaukeebrewers.com shows that this game isn't on TV. Guess we'll find out in 10 minutes.

It could go even further than that. If they do feel they are "in it to win it," as Attanasio has at least said, and Doug has some trade possibilities out there, I have to believe they would make every effort to improve this team before the Reds series. Lack of success in that series would be the final nail in the coffin.

[sgtcluels]

620 just had an interview with Rickie, said it's just irritated (Whatever that means. Rickie needs to stop renting so much porn) and should be back in the line up Friday.

[sheethead]

I didn't think the game was on tv, but here it says it is.

[crewcrazy]

The previews have been wrong about the TV schedule before...Dish Network shows nothing as far as the Brewers go this afternoon.

[RyDogg66]

Sweet Cappy picture. It looks like he is trying to throw right handed with this glove.

[wibadgers23]

Well that was quick

[sheethead]

Freddy Sanchez http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif he is Dirty.

Correct. He is young and has cash sitting around that he should build his own data base.

[JoeH33]

Well this is a promising start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif
