I wasn't sure if woogie was going to post an IGT, so I figured I'd get one going. Go Brewers.

[adamb100]

Your luck with game threads has been terrible. Please fix that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Yeah, September has been rough. If the Crew doesn't make the playoffs, I promise not to post any game threads next year.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Mr QL]

win or go home

[SeriesFinale]

Guys, the parallels are there:

Let's have the same result.

[tigerbrew]

If CC wins this game, I'd throw the bank at him and make him a Brewer the rest of his career.

 

GO BREWERS! Please Win.

[ELCABALLO45]

Lets do this Brewers

 

Lets do this Milwaukee

 

Lets do this CC

 

Lets do this Brewerfan.net

[benji]

All I ask is no strikes to Soriano. Pinella has said he is throwing is regular lineup against a left hander today.

[mikevan1818]

 

"I'm sick and tired about hearing how about what a great baseball team the cubs have. Screw'm! This is your time! Now go out there and take it!"

[Mike Felder]

I'll be in the Terrace, wearing my lucky powder blue Molitor jersey (worn for the Fielder and Braun walk-off games this week). Let's go CC!

[BrewCrewForever]

Is this game gonna be on 94.5 WKTI in Milwaukee because of the Packers being on 620 WTMJ?

[Yeti73]

No, they changed it to 620. I assume packers are on 94.5. I had multiple dreams about the game last night but my recollection is that both the Brewers and the Mets win 5-1. So nervous.

[sauveb]

Boys, we have waited 26 long years for this chance. I was a 25 year old kid last time and I thought it would happen all the time. Now, on my 51st birthday I know this chance is a special gift. Let's go get this one. Who knows, some of us might not ever get this chance again. Have fun and good luck. We know you can do it.

[Yeti73]

Happy Birthday Sauveb.

 

Accuscore gives us a 77% chance of winning today, but that probably doesn't consider the lack of rest of Sabathia and our inability to hit AA pitchers. They give Florida a 45% chance of winning.

 

Here is some additional inspiration: http://www.baseball-refer...es/NYN/NYN200709300.shtml

[hawing]

Dear Brewers:

 

You know what's within your reach. You can get there, today. I'll echo sauveb: have fun, and good luck.

 

Best wishes,

 

hawing

[Invader3K]

Let's just get this thing done once and for all. Please, Brewers.

[Team Canada]

It's cool that for once the Packers get pushed to the secondary station.

 

Man I'm getting nervous thinking about this game already. A blowout win would be super for my state of mind.

[RobDeer 45]

I can't handle this today. I really can't. I almost want to just wait and see what the scores are of their game and them mets. WOW! BIG GAME!

[Rob]

Here's to a great season, no matter waht happens today. I will be cheering positively today, because cheering negatively will not improve anything. I don't care if Sabathia doesn't make it out of the first, best season I've had the privelage of watching. Winning wouldn't be so bad.

[saget]

Today will be ulcer-ific.

 

I will not be able to handle the pressure today. I'm failing. As a fan, I am choking. Hopefully the players will not follow suite.

 

Beer will be in full flow today to help ease tensions.

[Brewcrewin07]

Well, I know there is another IGT for the Mets-Marlins game, but given the circumstances, I think it's relevant to post their lineups here. When I saw the Marlins lineup, I just about cried......

 

 

METS (89-72):

7 Reyes, SS

15 Beltran, CF

21 Delgado, 1B

5 Wright, 3B

6 Evans, LF

22 Martinez, 2B

19 Church, RF

11 Castro, C

46 Perez, LHP

 

MARLINS (83-77):

24 Maybin, CF

21 Baker, C

3 Cantu, 3B

17 Jacobs, 1B

14 Willingham, LF

6 Uggla, 2B

12 Ross, RF

4 Almezega, SS

34 Olsen, LHP

 

 

You are not seeing things.....no Hanley Ramirez. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Brewcrewin07]

Here is the Brewers lineup......it's up to the veterans who have been in this spot before(Durham, Counsell, & Kendall) to see the kids through this one. THEY need to be the ones with the big hits today, the solid defense, and the leadership to get this thing done.

 

Just for the record well before the game even starts, IF the Brewers win today, it will be because of a HUGE Corey Hart hit. That's right, I said it....THAT Corey Hart will come up big today.

 

 

 

CF Mike Cameron

2B Ray Durham

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

SS J.J. Hardy

RF Corey Hart

3B Craig Counsell

C Jason Kendall

LHP CC Sabathia

[GormanHarvey]

Wish I could echo your sentiments, but I think Corey will go ofer today and fail with a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs. BUT it won't matter because we will win going away!
