Brewers attempt to salvage the series by getting a decent performance out of Sharpie.

I remember good things about last time we faced Claussen. And this time around, the stadium is more hitter-friendly as well.

[brewmann04]

we can"t have a sweep here

[hkdakd]

I agree but it is on the road...

 

Come on Crew, get a win!

[rluzinski]

Let's face it; a loss here will the final nail in the coffin. If the Brewers lose tonight I'm afraid that a losing season is all but guaranteed. This is a must win by anyone's definition!

[IslandsAC]

I really thought the Brewers were going to pull out the last two games once it got to the bullpen

[pogokat]

i love the sarcasm color change!

[PeaveyFury]

The good news is that we usually pound the snot out of Claussen....

[Brewer Fever]

I really hope Miller needs another day off, I love seeing Chad Moeller's name in the lineup.

[steve267268]

so we really are doing the whole sarcasm color thing?

 

that's so cool.

 

for some reason when i first realized what the color was for i thought of The Office... don't know why.

[brewers19]

Not a fan of the color coding. What fun is sarcasm if there's no subtlety to it?

[Team Canada]

Yeah, but then you have to put in effort to understand a post correctly.

[davemakovec]

The blue is less fun, but it helps prevent people getting into fights when someone is trying to be tongue-in-cheek and the other takes it as an insult.

[jason21nl]

however not a must win, this early in the season..i think it is a big game and a big start for DD..You never want to get swept, especially by a team in your division..and you want to stay above .500..so must win? no, big game? I think so

[rotoherb]

Can't Corey Hart get at least one start against a left-handed starter?

[JoeH33]

Damian's finally back!

[Team Canada]

Can I just call the Phillips 4-5, 6 RBI game right now?

[LUKE232323]

I don't get why everyone always has to rag someone for saying it's a must win. This one might as well be. We're trying to avoid a sweep, avoid going under .500, and we have another tough road series after this, with a day off tomorrow.

 

Oh yeah, and we have the pitcher resembling one of the only two "sure" things in our rotation.

 

Need to take this game.

The bad news is that Davis is as bad as Bush on the road; and not to mention he walked 9 the last time he faced the Reds. I'll say 8-6 Reds tonight. As usual, hope I'm wrong! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I don't get why everyone always has to rag someone for saying it's a must win.

 

Because about 75% of games after a loss were deemed "must wins" last year. How can any game be a must win in May? Is teh team going to quit if they go 1 game under?

[AJ Love]

Steal 2nd Rickie... please

[AJ Love]

speed kills

 

that's one run that no-one else on the roster would have scored... remember that if he makes an error tonight, OK?

[JoeH33]

We're playing with a lead!

[wisconsinfan47]

Nice hit and run there I believe.

 

We gotta get more with a man on second and nobody out!
