(If wOOgiE22 does his thing later, please move my post to his thread and remove this parenthetical statement. I can't not post on this game before we leave for it.)

 

Your goal has not changed, Brewers: a 1-0 record for Saturday. That's all I ask.

[wibadgers23]

Like Sveum said after last night's game, it's a good feeling knowing we control our own destiny again. That being said, it would really be something if the Marlins could beat Santana and give us a chance to clinch today.

3B Bill Hall

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

What is awesome is that there is (according ESPN) a 77.5% chance that the Brewers will win the wild card. Earlier in the week it was around 20% or so. I can't wait 2 + hours....I want the game NOW!!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

wOOgie...we need you. If Mark A isn't shaving...we can't screw up our IGT!!!

Per North Side Baseball.

Lilly, p

[craigharmann]

That right there is a BEAUTIFUL lineup

[pitchleague]

that beautiful lineup (or something like it) took 2 games in New York earlier this week. This is no cake walk, folks.

 

On paper, sure, it looks great, but . . . that's why they play the games.

 

Come on, Brewers! Can't believe it's still 45 minutes away.

 

Anybody have any word on what games the Los Angeles FOX station will broadcast? The New York station is showing Yanks-Red Sox but the LA channel guide still just lists "Baseball" on the Directv Guide.

[logan82]

I wish they would start Soriano again. He looked horrible in the field last night.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I wonder if we'll ever get Mike Fontenot out.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I'm a nervous wreck right now... come on boys, keep controlling your destiny.

[adamb100]

Actually the lineup might be:

 

Fukudome, rf

Cedeno, ss

Hoffpauir, 1b

Ward, lf

Johnson, cf

Fontenot, 2b

McGeehee, 3b

Blanco, c

Lilly, p

 

USA today and ESPN are saying 2 different things.

[craigharmann]

Even better, if that's the case

[chuckiehacks]

Ugh, Jeannie - Its SETH McClung, not Scott.

[pitchleague]

way to go Scott McClung!!!!

 

FOX is so bad.

 

ESPN is, too, though. So maybe it is just national television personalities in general.

[GormanHarvey]

I would laugh if Daryle Ward is in LF

[GormanHarvey]

Actually the lineup might be:

 

Fukudome, rf

Cedeno, ss

Hoffpauir, 1b

Ward, lf

Johnson, cf

Fontenot, 2b

McGeehee, 3b

Blanco, c

Lilly, p

This is the correct lineup! Hit the ball to leftfield!!

[dpapo]

I'm not able to see the game where I live, I'm getting the Philles-Nationals game. Does anyone know if the game can be seen on Sopcast or somewhere online. Thanks.

[chuckiehacks]

That looks like the lineup the Braves threw out when Sheets struck out 18.

[thablingster]

Alright, Edmonds is out of the lineup!

 

Beat the B-Squad, Ben!

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Sheets fastball is only at 87 mph. Not good.

[Kurt]

OK, so I want all of you to take in Mark Grace and I dare you to ever say a bad thing about Bill Schroeder again.

 

Grace is terrible.

[thablingster]

Dave Bush might want to get ready, Sheets' velocity is still down where it was in his last start.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

Up to 89 mph now. That's a little better.

[chuckiehacks]

Sheets fastball is only at 87 mph. Not good.

 

And they're all up.
