My boss offered to take me to this game tonight (front row down the third base line), but I had to decline because we are expecting kid number two today or tomorrow. I am pissed I am missing out on this one. Am I a horrible dad?

 

Hopefully, Greinke will throw a perfect game and then the baby will come, and I will have a sweet story to tell my son or daughter when they get older.

I think we are going to have a good duel tonight.

[BrewCrewForever]

Okay Zack, today is as good a day as any to have your first truly ace like, dominating outing for the Brewers.

Congrats man! Good luck on the weekend... If you have a son, I'll chip in $10 if you name him Yuniesky http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

My son had the good sense to be born on an off day.

Nope, just a great baseball fan! Congratulations, hopefully Greinke throws a perfect game and there's a TV in the delivery room.

 

Time for some poultry hunting.

Anyone else think McGehee is starting to snap out of it? He's starting to hit the ball a little harder, and with a bit more confidence. Not sure if Counsell will have enough energy tonight after all that running around he did last night.

[PrinceEatMeat]

He's definitely hitting the ball harder, and he seems to be a little more patient at the plate. I think he's on the cusp. If he can string a few hits together that'll get him going.

No.

No.

Agreed.

[ilovebeer]

Tonight and tomorrow are now standing room only.

[ilovebeer]

This should be a good game. Should be a low scoring game.

[razzzorsharp]

Should be a low scoring game, that's why it will end up 7-5.

[ilovebeer]

I do believe Casey is on the verge on snapping out of it, he is making good contact and is having better at bats.

[chickinbrickin]

Thanks for the congrats everyone! No kid yet, but I convinced my wife Yuniesky Carlos is a great name for a boy. Go Crew!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I'm a little partial to Calvin Coolidge Julius Caeser Tuskahoma chickinbrickin myself. Congratulations!!!

 

My kids were born in the Brewers dark ages...Ruben Quevado wasn't much of a girls name anyway.

[ilovebeer]

chicken, is she is labor?

[jjgott]

Thanks for the congrats everyone! No kid yet, but I convinced my wife Yuniesky Carlos is a great name for a boy. Go Crew!

How about a Presidential name like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho?

[razzzorsharp]

The trick is to make sure she doesn't know it's Brewer related.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Gold jerseys. Holy crap.

[pebadger]

It's always nice to give the eyes a night's rest from the contact lenses when WMLW has the game. Never even notice the difference.

[ilovebeer]

Have they ever worn gold jerseys before?
