09/14/2007 Cincinnati (Shearn) at Milwaukee (Sheets) 7:05 pm CDT

[phatmatt1215]

My apologies to the Brewers for not thinking they could come back from a 4-0 deficit. Hopefully they won't face that during this series at all.

 

(edited to reflect ever-changing Reds starter - hawing)

[TooLiveBrew]

Ben-ny, Ben-ny, Ben-ny! Sheets time! (perhaps, more relevantly - though less rhythmically) Dumatrait time for our O!

[Oldcity]

Unfortunately it appears the Reds have scratched Dumatrait. Brewers.com has 30-year old rookie Tom Shearn getting the start. Hopefully he's not a much better option.

[RightFieldCoder]

Shearn is the pitcher that came into the game with no outs in the first. Gave up three runs in two innings. I don't think he's that much of a better option, but the last time Dumatrait pitched was when the Brewers blew him out of the game. Kind of tough to try to bounce back from a start like that against the same team but this time at that team's house against their ace.

[hawing]

Shearn is the pitcher that came into the game with no outs in the first. Gave up three runs in two innings.

 

Which means he managed to retire some batters. Cincinnati is clearly going with the hot hand.

 

I would have liked to see Phil "twelve pitch" Doumatrait again, but the Brewers can make do with the hand they're dealt. C'mon, guys. It's time.

[Brian the Automator]

I'll be at the game tonight. If you see a dude wearing an AUTOMATOR bf.net softball jersey, feel free to say hey.

[patrickgpe]

I'm going too, if there ever was a series that was a must sweep (I know we may use that term a little too much on this site) its this one.

[BrewCrewForever]

I feel good about this one with Sheets on the mound. But then again I always feel like we will win with Ben pitching and have felt that way the past 4 years.

[Marleyboo]

I have not posted in the IGT for quite some time now. I'd like to officially change the Brewers luck by posting. Just win baby. Just win.

[crewcrazy]

Alright, back home from PNC Park from Hell. Time to go back to whipping the Reds like they did in Cincy.

[drezdn]

I'm going to the game tonight. Every game I've been to this year where they've won, the Brewers have won by one run or essentially one run (Jenks in the 13th against the Mets). Please, just this once it would be nice to see them blow some one out.

[craigharmann]

My wife and I are heading down to the game tonight. So pumped to see Sheets and get my Yount bobble. What I'm hoping for this weekend is 2 out of 3 (or a sweep) for the Crew and the Chubs and Cards split or 3 out of 4 for the Cards. It is possible. GO CREW!

[thablingster]

I will be going to the game tonight, too. My last game was the debacle known as Chris Capuano bobblehead day. Hopefully this game will kind of be like that without the blown lead. :D

[kgbaseball]

Tonight's the big Robin Yount bobblehead, and the only available tickets are standing room only. Hopefully, the Brewers can win in what will certainly be a lively atmosphere.

[billyhallfan]

go crew, gotta shut down cincy, sheets is going to have a good game tonite!

That's the first time I've seen that connection. Not only does he curse us when he pitches, he curses us on his bobblehead day.

 

[sgtcluels]

Go Sheeters! I won't be at the game, but I'll put on my sheeters jersey T.

 

Big Money.. Big Money.. No Wammy... STOP!

So not only are you the boss you also like to make it known that you're the boss.

Reminds me of Stewie dreaming he was on a Southern Plantation saying "Ahh it's good to have land."

[tomwopat]

I will also be there.
