[AJAY]

What a nail-biter.

 

BREWERS WIN !!

[skittyblm]

till on pace for a perfect season

[markwitx]

BREWERS WIN! WERE ALL ALONE IN FIRST.

[bucksman4]

86 more of these W's and I'll look like a genius!

[Tailgat0r76]

"turnbow on pace for 162 saves."

 

I believe you meant to say 173.

 

Are we forgetting about the playoffs?

 

Come on now http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Brewer Fever]

It wasn't pretty but it counts the same as any other W.

[steve267268]

i assume the gripes will begin as of tonight. lol.

 

Everything that went wrong tonight is something that can only be fixed with experience as far as the younger players go.

 

I'm only worried about Prince in that his confidence will get down and this will last longer than it has to. But i believe that towards the end of the season he'll do more than a few interviews about his ugly start as he gets better and better and probably laugh about it. I was REALLY proud of the hometown crowd lending their support to the guy. JJ Hardy wasn't much better at first, except that Fielder is just trying to knock em out every time.

 

We don't need 60 Homeruns from you Prince, just play your game. Don't worry, we are patient despite all the complaints about everything else.

[LaprilOne]

Pittsburgh just lost the kind of game we have always been good at losing. You know, "almost," "if," "just a break and..."

 

These are tough to watch, but they are the kind of games that seperate the pack.

 

It will be fun to see how it goes!

[sdcheezhd]

Same Victor - even when he pitches pretty well he finds a way to lose.

[brewerjamie15]

Was that BrewerJamie sitting in the buckethead section? I think they just showed him on TV.

 

That was me. Now I have to charge you guys per appearance at BF.Net gatherings.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

We got home from the game and my father in law said I was on TV. Hope I wasn't picking my nose or anything.....

[Iron Chef Napalm]

I wonder if tonight's game was the first time in his life that a team walked a guy to get to Prince?

[djoctagone]

fret all you want about prince. while slightly worrisome, you can't lose sight of his buddy getting three hits and scoring two runs.

 

what thumb injury?

[mothershipconnection]

Prince's struggles in two games mean nothing. Koskie is hitting .667 right now, and I will bet anyone 1 bajillion dollars that he does not keep that up over 400 AB's.

[wOOgiE22]

Prince started out slow in AAA Nashville last year too. I believe if not tommorow, this weekend he is going to have a breakout game.

 

I was glad to see that the fans gave him a standing ovation however. It's not like some teams like the Yankees or Dodgers where they will Boo the heck out of you.

[DHonks]

and I will bet anyone 1 bajillion dollars that he does not keep that up over 400 AB's.

 

so mothership, my $1 vs your 1 bajillion dollars? I'm in

[jdbrew]

Brewerjamie, do you wear a Sheets jersey to games?

[hawing]

Brewerjamie's jersey is a David "Stormy" Weathers special.

 

Bye Victor, better luck next time old friend.

 

Sure, as long as you're not playing the Brewers. It was redeeming to see the Victor of most of '05 tonight - in the opposing uniform. Right down to his body language which to me has always looked lackadaisical. I realize it may not be, but bleah.

 

My curse on Jack Wilson finally took hold when he had that throwing error. That was satisfying.

I had to take one of my can't-trust-him walks around the concourse when Kolb took the mound. He must accomplish more before he can earn back my confidence.

 

It felt like a no-brainer to stand for Prince's last at bat. Everyone around us just kind of did it as a matter of course. We all know he'll be fine.

 

In the way-off chance that Mark Attanasio is reading, THANK YOU again for the freebie game at the end of last season. That led to our vouchers for "best available" tickets for tonight's game, which were awesome (112, not far from the Brewers' dugout). I had a great angle on the Capuano-to-Fielder pickoff path - almost worth letting some Pirates get on base - and we even won free pizza coupons when the kid won the catching contest and section 112 was the section of the night. $38 seats for $14 (plus we got to see the last home game last year).

 

I'm so glad the season is underway.

[berniebrewer4life]

Great game, great win. Let's hope it continues tomarrow when we face Dukey. Who knows, maybe fielder will finally get a hit!

[Brian the Automator]

Not only are the Brewers alone in first place in the NL Central, but they're alone in first place in the entire league.

 

Anyone up for a Players' strike?

[BCZF]

Nice win. Not too worried about Prince, just keep thinking about JJ last year, when those first couple of hits are taken care of, he'll be fine... Good to see the vampire in form today, hell even Darron and Bill were riding him..

Oh no, now we won't have a good draft pick.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

That was a great game to watch and when the pirates mad ea late run i really thought that the brewers might loose and i think old brewer teams might have. Overall good job by everyone. Not to worried about Prince just yet i do think that he will be on the bench in favor of corey hart or Jeff C.

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

my 3 biggest concerns is prince and the depth of the bullpen. I think Prince will come out of it, and is just pressing. Once he learns he doesnt need to swing for the fence all the time he will be fine. Lehr and Wise has impressed me so far, I am worried about kolb de la rosa, and capellan in the pen. Finally while rickey did well at the plate, he still had a tough play in the field. I know the right side of the infield is young and is oging to struggle, but its still a concern
