I heart Mike Fiers

[The stache]

I can't believe we're in this situation. Thank God, looks like Kemp got jammed.

 

Way to go, Mike Fiers!

[The stache]

Hello, win column!

[TURBO]

It is nice to feel deep at SP... Just feels NICE!

[The stache]

Getting through 8 with 100 pitches or less is a rarity nowadays. The whole pen got a night off except KRod. I really can't state how huge that is.

[The stache]

Pirates down to their final out...

[FVBrewerFan]

Kershaw, listen to the bell. It tolls for thee.

[razzzorsharp]

What a night for the Brewers.

[The stache]

I'm watching the Pirates-Padres game. Love MLB.tv.

 

Padres win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joaquin Benoit gets the save!!!

[Thhhza]

Pirates lose!!!

[DuWayne Steurer]

so, we were told we needed an ace to compete in the playoffs. IN the past few weeks we beat Waino, Price, and Greinke. I guess we can put that myth to bed, right?

Ain't it a beautiful thing?

[The stache]

Brewers with a 2.5 game lead on Pittsburgh, and a 3 game lead over the Cardinals. Awesome!

[hawing]

Mike Fiers, you guys. Nice. REAL nice.

If you have to pick any position to have depth, we have the right one. Lost starter-in-waiting Thornburg, Estrada ineffective, Garza DL...and still don't have to resort to trying Donovan Hand as a starter.

BIGGEST WIN OF THE YEAR THUS FAR! I LOVE IT

[adamb100]

Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I'm thrilled with this home stand.

[Lee16]

And everyone else in the division lost. Ah, today is a good day.

[RobDeer 45]

An amazing day!

[PrinceFielderx1]

For those that say we need or don't need an ace we have one in Wily Peralta

[TURBO]

For those that say we need or don't need an ace we have one in Mike Fiers

 

corrected!

I liked the title of MLBN's highlight package for the game: FIERS STARTER

[AZBrewCrew]

I just was surfing the MLB.com version of Dodgerfan.net and reading their IGT. Its pretty funny how it pretty much is a mirror image of threads here. "If we are going to make the postseason we need more offense" , "this Cy Fiers guy just came from AAA and is killing us", "we need a platoon at catcher". Just thought it was funny that we arent the only first place team that thinks the sky is falling when we lose

[DuWayne Steurer]

For those that say we need or don't need an ace we have one in Wily Peralta

 

Wily is good, even really good at times, but he's not an ace. He's not even in the neighborhood of a Kershaw or a Wainright.

Looking back, it seems it was the perfect day for improving our playoff chances with the Braves, Giants, Dodgers, Reds, Cards, and Pirates all losing last night.
