At PNC Park, Pittsburgh. Game is set for 7:05PM on FOX.

 

Lets see some Brewers in this

[jloos19]

Well, Lee will definitely get at least one at-bat based on his performance in the first half. Also, Capuano is sure to pitch since there are only a few rested pitchers for the NL. As for Turnbow, I personally wouldn't pitch him, and I don't think Scrap Iron will either.

[brewers19]

Well, the National League kicked the crap out of the American League in the Homerun Derby last night, so I hope that is a positive sign.

Plus, we'd better win tonight, because I'd rather see four Fall Classic games in Milwaukee than only three.

[adamb100]

If we make it alive with the lead in the 9th I'd imagine Turnbow would close the game and I would just hope he doesnt make a fool of himself and blow it.

[davego]

Sure hope he brought his slider to PNC.

 

You don't suppose the curse of the Wilson's is in effect for Brewer players tonight?

I'd sure hope not, but then again this is PNC and that may conjure up bad mojo as is.

[JoeH33]

Why is Renteria batting before Wright? Doesn't make much sense to me.

[endaround]

Well you have Soriano leading off instead of Beltran, pretty sure Garner jsut drew 8 names out of a hat.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Is there a dumber human being on the planet than John Kruk?

Hey now he's a baseball analyst for a major sports network. You're telling me they hire idoits? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

What did he say now?

[AJAY]

Is this going to be the year a Brewers player actually does something?

He went on some ramblefest about how David Wright is "arguably the best player" on the team with the best record in the NL, so he should be the MVP over Pujols.

 

That's fine, though, because a few seconds later, Harold Reynolds said that Prince should be the NL Rookie of the Year because he was expected to do well and he has. Reynolds then said that Jonathan Papelbon should win the AL ROY because he's on the best team.

 

Oh, and Steve Phillips can't be left out, either, because he claimed that Johan Santana should win the AL Cy Young, even though he's not even the best left-handed pitcher on his own team.

[brettac1]

I can't believe Paul LoDuca starts in MLB, let alone on an All-Star team.

 

And, Carlos Beltran is the Mets MVP. He's having a flat-out amazing season. Factoring in defense, Wright's at least a win worse than Beltran (though he is a great player, just not as great all-around).

[jloos19]

Was it just me, or during that commerical with Joe Buck, those guys who touch his throat call him "Mr. Baseball?" Is anyone else extremely ticked off about this? If Joe Buck is Mr. Baseball, then maybe we all should find a new sport to follow.

[PeaveyFury]

Man, do they have this radar gun cranked up or what? If Penny is throwing 99, Turnbow is going to come in and throw like 105.

[jloos19]

Rogers hit 90, so the radar gun is definitely cranked up.

[homer]

OK, Vlad just hit a ball at his eyeballs for an opposite field dinger. Wow.

[razzzorsharp]

Wright HR, in comes Oswalt.

[adamb100]

I demand to see a Brewer player on that field soon.

[thablingster]

The fact they used Fuentes almost ensures Cappy won't pitch unless this goes extras.

 

Carlos will probably PH, and Garner is probably going to pitch DBow one of the next two innings if the NL keeps the lead.

[adamb100]

Alright Turnbow, DONT BLOW THIS!!

[Lil Dummy]

Time to work on the breaking ball, baby.

[iluvlamp]

nice start

 

and head blow haha

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Here we go....
