*RED ALERT THREAD* 8/28/07 Brewers (Suppan. 8-11, 4.85) at Cubs (Hill. 7-7, 3.67) 7:05 CT

YES!!!!!! Let's GO BREWERS!!!!

[crewcrazy]

Parra's not officially starting on Thursday yet. I imagine he's the emergency guy tomorrow if another blister pops up...from there, they'd scramble to find a spot starter. In a perfect world, Benny has no problems tomorrow and goes 6 or 7 strong and Manny starts the series finale.

[GormanHarvey]

Did someone say earlier that it will be Sheets tomorrow and Parra on Thursday?

That's what they just said on FSN

 

 

And according to the JS Online:

By Tom Haudricourt

Sheets to start tomorrow

Chicago - Hoping to inject some life in a sagging starting rotation, the Brewers will send Ben Sheets to the mound Wednesday night against the Cubs and follow him with rookie Manny Parra on Thursday.

I hate the camera angle from behind home plate..

[phatmatt1215]

Hopefully the second time through the lineup will be better.

[Trowekamp]

I hate the camera angle from behind home plate..

 

I agree.. why show the angle that is 70% blocked by players.. like showing a football game from the center's perspective..

[phatmatt1215]

We NEED to get a run this inning... It is a MUST.

[Trowekamp]

I just noticed Weeks has a .951 OPS in August.. if Rickie is finally hitting and the Brewers have still been losing you really know how bad the pitching has been.

[phatmatt1215]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[TeeJayh1980]

Hip Hip...

[crewcrazy]

There's a run! Woohoo!

[brewcrewnation]

hey the Brewers have a lead nice sac fly 1-0

[phatmatt1215]

I hate the Fielder shift.

[JET15]

Way to produce a run. That's a good sign. The first run of the series isn't a solo HR

[davego]

Dont give it back here...

[bucks2281]

Boy, I'm nervous watching this game. Go Crew!

[giffted1]

Nice work getting out of it Soup. Keep earning that paycheck.

[phatmatt1215]

Nice pitching, Soup!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!

[gypcasino]

Could Ron Santo cry any more. Geez.

[Trowekamp]

love seeing Lee and Ramirez leading odd innings

[crewcrazy]

Soup gets out of it! Nice job cheating death, Suppan. Hopefully Braun doesn't jump out of his shoes trying to homer like he did last time.

[phatmatt1215]

We're getting better.

[brewcrewnation]

nice start to inning good job mr roy.

[crewcrazy]

Kind of off topic, but Cub fan gamethreads are even more depressing than ours. They have people already turning off the game.

[brains and braun]

I've gotta say that I like Ron Santo. He's a nice guy who has faced a lot of adversity. And he deserves to go into the Hall while he's still alive. That said, he's not the best announcer, but he's the kind of guy you love if you're a fan of the team.
