[SeriesFinale]

Not familiar with Paulino and that makes me very concerned

[mls4]

What do we think of the Astros this year? I know they and the Brewers records are similar right now but it seems that they may have a rough year and I predicted them to finish last in the division. I do hope that it doesn't cost Cooper his job though.

 

Save Hunter Pence, their team is fairly old and declining, although Lee and Berkman are still very good. Oswalt is still good but will be as dominating as he used to be?

 

Forgive my blind optimism but I like the Brewers chances in this series even with Suppan and Parra starting over the weekend.

[mls4]

For what it's worth, with Fielder's HBP last night, he is now tied for 8th on the Brewer career leaderboard:

 

Jenkins 95

Weeks 62

Vina 58

Gantner 52

Brady Clark 50

Yount 48

Burnitz 46

Fielder 41

Cirillo 41

Jaha 38

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

How about a Gallardo win tonight and a split in the next two...that would be a winning road trip. Not bad after the horrendous start. Have to like the chances with Yovani on the bump...but that short porch in left can make for a funky outcome.

 

From the Journal...

 

2B Rickie Weeks

RF Corey Hart

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

CF Mike Cameron

SS J.J. Hardy

3B Bill Hall

C Jason Kendall

RHP Yovani Gallardo

[chuckiehacks]

What do we think of the Astros this year?

 

From what I read, they have no weaknesses.

[And That]

Jeff Suppan's gross pay at the end of the day: ~$1,297,814

Yovani Gallardo's gross pay at the end of the day: ~$42,984

 

Hmm.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

There is no other team in baseball as well positioned to win the 2003 World Series.

[brewerjamie15]

Anyone feel like getting together for a beer or two and catching the last few innings of the game at Kips Inn on hwy 100? They have a giant screen TV, good beers.

[dlk9s]

...but that short porch in left can make for a funky outcome.

Maybe Kendall can hit a chopper over the wall.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Kendall might be able to get a few ground rule doubles in Williamsport...if they let him use aluminum.

[ELCABALLO45]

Cam Boogie goes yard tonight, book it.

 

Brewers win 7-2. Yo pitches good but not great.

[GormanHarvey]

That sounds awesome Jamie!! Unfortunately I live 3 hours away. At the least the game is in delicious HD tonight! GO Yo and GO CREW! Make it 3 in a row!

[fondybrewfan]

Well what the heck, game is in HD tonight and I can't find the HD feed on any of the Dish Network ALT channels. This sucks.

[razzzorsharp]

Cam Boogie goes yard tonight, book it.

15 feet short on his first attempt.

[razzzorsharp]

Rickie Weeks with only 1 walk this year so far. That seems like an odditity to keep an eye on.

[sheethead]

Yet another disappointment from Dish network. I should never have left TWC.

[Gobias Industries]

Rickie Weeks with only 1 walk this year so far. That seems like an odditity to keep an eye on.

Macha was talking about it in his pregame interview with Ueck. Said he doesn't want to tell Rickie to just take pitches for the sake of it, but also said he needs the top two to have OBP's in .340 to .360 range.

[ELCABALLO45]

I would also like to add.. Thanks alot Dish

[razzzorsharp]

Rickie Weeks seems to be, gasp, turning outs into outs. The ghost of Nedly....

[fondybrewfan]

I would also like to add.. Thanks alot Dish

I am in their online chat complaing like crazy right now. Maybe if enough people complain they'll try to stop screwing up all the time

[razzzorsharp]

I know this doesn't help and in fact more than likely angers some, but I do think the FSNHD feed looks better than last year.

 

(This pitchers are dealing)

[GormanHarvey]

Interesting strike zone tonight. Yo has thrown 2 or 3 darts at the knees that were called balls (same for Paulino) and then the ump rings up Matsui on a fastball at the armpits. Go high or go home I guess

[ELCABALLO45]

Cam Boogie is on everything right now.

 

(Sarcastic) We should of got rid of him this offseason

[ELCABALLO45]

This is not good, I hope Cam is alright.
