7/16/05 Nats (Loiza) @ Crew (Cappy) 6:05 CST

[brewermary15]

My husband has gone nuts, so I'm doing the thread today. We will be at the game tonight, you can easily find us, Jamie will be the one in a fur coat hanging around the peanut vendors.

 

WAS: RHP Esteban Loaiza

? 5-5, 3.57 ERA in 2005

 

MIL: LHP Chris Capuano

? 10-6, 3.63 ERA in 2005

 

I feel good with Cappy on the mound, it improves our chances at three in a row. I just hope Jamie does not decide to run around on the field like a squirrel, this has become quite embarrassing.

 

Section 107, row 11, seats 3&4.

i too shall be there tonight. went last night to the "Balk off" game, great crowd... great game... same tonight i hope.....

 

oh yea, and I'll be there tomorrow too... i am super hyped!

[brettac1]

I went last night, and started the game thread. That is definitely good karma. Chalk this one up.

[undertow67]

One things for sure , Capo better be careful with his pick-off move today. I'm sure Frank Robinson has a burr in his saddle and will be in the umps ear about it all night.

[germanking]

I totally agree with under and think Cappy has to watch his move, he did get caught last time around too if memory serves.

 

I unfortunately will not be attending since I have no ride to the game, but I think both pitchers give up a great deal of runs.

Geoff with 3HR to lead the way

I would like to re-post something i had said to open this series...

 

Quote:

I'm not about to go predicting numbers.. you know.. 3-1 vs. nationals.. split with cards...

 

but i will say that this team is going to have a SOLID second have, with stretches of real good wins.. the easy kind.. Remember those? But mroe importantly, we will start winning those 1 run games and come back from defecits we are expected to come back from. That, my friends, is the definition of Battle!

---

 

Looks like they have been doing exactly as i had hoped, and i don't just bring that up because i am right (two games into the second half). I bring it up because I don't recall more than a SMALL handful of games in the entire first half that we had came back and.. well.. battled out a victory.

 

And it's not just a two game fluke, though.. we have been doing this since the last game of that cubs series it seems like. Hitting with two outs.. and most importantly, the bottom of the lineup carrying a little more of the load.. If Carlos has indeed busted out of his slump with that long ball, this will be a fun ride...

 

Four in a row, lets get another one today and clinch this series!

[Mike Felder]

I'll be sitting up on the top of the world tonight (40http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif , but I'll be keeping score and yelling loud enough to be heard way down below. Go Crew!!

 

As others have said, the umps will be watching Cappy like a hawk tonight, but wouldn't it be awesome if he picked a few Nats off tonight just so we could watch Frank Robinson go ballistic?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[brettac1]

I'd prefer that he quit putting so many runners on base to attempt to pick off. That's going to catch up with him, especially with his HR rate.

[Tailgat0r76]

Going as well, been far too long I have been to a game. This is my 17th on the year, and I am 11-5 so far..

[rluzinski]

I go today and tomm. Sure would be nice to see a .500 team when I leave tomm..... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[hawing]

It's 93 in Madison as I write this - so Milwaukee had better be reaping the benefits of that lake effect.

 

Since we got these tickets separate from our package o' 20, we are still in 417 but moved from our usual spot - row 1 in the middle instead of row 5 on the aisle. I'll be staring at the railing but maybe the home team will give me reason to stand up and cheer.

[cirillo26]

I'm on my way there today. Me and Cappy both seeking win number 11 http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

 

Let's go Crew!!!

[BrewCityUnit]

Tonight's line-up looks like this

 

1. Brady Clark

2. Rickie Weeks

3. Lyle Overbay

4. Carlos Lee

5. Geoff Jenkins

6. Bill Hall

7. Damien Miller

8. J.J. Hardy

[brewerjamie15]

Well, I have to say this should be a pretty good game. After last night's tough loss, the Nationals will be pretty ticked off and looking to do some damage.

I would not be surprised to see a scuffle tonight. I think it'll be an intense game.

[mikevan1818]

Let's get one of those no doubter wins tonight. I feel a 8-1 victory. Also, for some reason I feel a JJ Hardy dinger.

 

Go brewers.

[markwitx]

All I want for my birthday, is for the Brewers to win tonight.

[kiwi brewer]

i'll be watching on mlb.tv today from new zealand. it will be 11 am on Sunday. and it is the middle of the winter. weird.

 

go cew

[no19no1]

It sounds like the game thread is going to be pretty loney tonight with everyone going to the game. Hope all ya'll at the game will keep the vibe going. Have fun.

[bucky2win]

'stros and Cubs both lose. A good day for Crew fans so far.

[scoop53714]

Ok....prediction time....

 

Rickie, Carlos and Jenks combine for 3 bombs and 6 rbi.

 

Brewers win this 8-4.

For some reason, I have had problems logging into Brewers vs. Nationals games this year. I am also hoping to watch online but I am not counting on it. Most likely I will be stuck listening to audio.

 

I also want to win this game badly. They are expecting a HUGE crowd and the Cubs and Astros both lost. These are the nights when you have to win.

 

 

GO BREWERS !!!! http://ideaspot.net/mlb/NL_Central/small/brewers3-sm.gif

[Brewers77]

Well I dont live very far from the ballpark and I seem like the only person that is not going to the game. Tv will have to do for now and I was kinda pumped for this game all day. Man does it feel good to win some close games.

 

"On our way back to .500 and above

[brewers19]

Sadly, due to living in Illinois and having the economic curse of being a college student, I don't make it out to the park more than twice a year. So, I'll be sitting in front of my computer like every other game with Bob and Jim keeping me company.

[markwitx]

How does the crowd look tonight?

[RoseBowlMtg]

That's how you start off a game Cappy!

 

Now let's get some runs!
