2011-08-07 Brewers (Greinke) at Astros (Norris) - [Brewers win, 7-3]

Kind of disappointing that after sweeping a series on the road, we lose 1/2 a game in the standings.

I understand, but with how bad we had been on the road I cant be disappointed after a sweep. Hoping for 2 out of 3 in the next series. 1 out of 3 would be acceptable because we would still have a two game lead. I love the pitching match ups. We miss Carpenter and Garcia and throw Marcum, Yo and Wolf. Hopefully we can do some work against Lohse, Westbrook and Jackson.

Have they announced the pitching matchups yet? I would not be surprised to see TLR move up Carpenter to face the Brewers.

With the way we beat him up outing after outing, I wouldn't mind.

Tremendous win today Crew! Really would love another 2 of 3 for the next series. Stay hot!

Time to start rooting for the Pirates again especially versus the Giants.

We're the front runners though, so look at it the other way...St Louis is saying something similar but they only picked up half a game. They're thinking 'when are those guys going to lose? we do as well as a team can do and it doesn't seem to help...'

 

Now we stomp 'em and break their hearts.

an extra inning one-run loss away from a George Webb's special.

That occurred to me today. I've never eaten at Webb's, and won't mind waiting until I can get the burger for free.

The only time I have ever been to Webb's was to get my free hamburger in 1987.. That day they gave away 165,000 hamburgers.

I'm not that into Webb's either...but I'd probably fly home to get a free burger. Then again, if they won 12 straight...I might just run.

Yuni is absolutely on fire right now. Stay hot, Yuni!

 

He sure is. And just thinking about the folks here who had him gone and wanted guys like Barmes to replace him. Would have been a lateral move a few weeks ago and now it would just be awful. Just another example of just doing the opposite of what is talked about here works almost everytime.

I'd trade Betancourt for Barmes in a cocaine heartbeat.

Their breakfast plates are fantastic. Greasy, unhealthy, and fantastic!
