If anyone is in Atlanta, maybe you could find a way to slip the Brewers manager a heavy dosing of laxative before game time. This might require the help from an "insider," but would be worth the sacrifice to avoid another possible Yosting tonight.

 

Please team, score 15 runs tonight to make the managerial decisions easy. Please. It really is the only way. Maybe the baseball officials could cut us a break this weekend and let Yost bring a cheat sheet to the game.

[Loopee]

Our two year plan to embed Jeff Bennett in the Braves organization to throw us meatballs is finally paying off.

[sgtcluels]

Dear Jeff Bennet,

 

Please.. please put a bend in your hat. I can't stand the fact that you have it straight as a board.

 

Tottles,

Aaron

If Bobby Cox really would like to throw the Brewers a bone, maybe he could convince Ned to switch places with him for the next four days, or the rest of the year. The later would be nice, but i would even take the former.

[Fear The Chorizo]

The combination of Atlanta and Milwaukee's offenses, coupled with Bennett's cap and Suppan's propensity to give up a lot of hits, set this game score up to resemble the score of a Falcons-Packers game.

I'll say 13-7, Brewers. Whatever happens in this game I hope the # of relievers used in this game is kept to a minimum...too many pitchers for Yost to screw up with.

[patrickgpe]

its for games like tonight we gave Suppan his contract, so lets get him to earn it. He has been much better of late so hopefully he keeps it up.

[endaround]

Don't be surprised if there is more Richmond Braves than Atlanta Braves about Atlanta's lineup this series.

State Patrol Officer Bennett, nice to see you. It's been a while.

Interesting they're calling this an even game.

yesterday there were no richmond braves. I think people are wishing to think that Cox is going to throw this series so his friend can get in the playoffs.

Just checked the standings and uh, the Braves have NOT been eliminated from the post season yet. Does anyone know who is spreading the false rumors about their demise? :-)

[SlideBernieSlide]

With the way the Mets are tanking, the Braves have glimmered some new hope. They've won 4 straight and are playing some of their best baseball right now. Plus, Hudson and Smoltz await the Crew in Games 2 and 3. Nothing about this series is going to be easy.

It looks as if last night's chat room issues might have been resolved.

 

If you're running into trouble, please post to this thread:

 

Chat room issues?

 

There's no problem, of course, if you mention your trouble here, but your post is more likely to be seen by a mod if you use the other thread.

Today, I'm having trouble thinking of something positive to post. Brewers, help me out here. Thanks.

My sentiments exactly. I WANT TO BELIEVE!

 

This game feels like a Game Four of a seven game playoff series, on the road, down 2-1. It won't be the dagger if we lose but it'll make things extremely difficult the rest of the way.

[RightFieldCoder]

I think I'll pee my pants if we get blown out of the water tonight. Please, for the Love of Allah, win this game.

[iluvlamp]

Loopee...that was very funny!

[Trowekamp]

Here is one.. if the Brewers win out they are in the playoffs so they still control their own destiny...

[JohnBriggs12]

Time to quit messing around and put Jenkins and Hall back in the lineup.

 

If this team is going down I don't want it to be with the two longest tenured Brewers sitting at the expense of two guys who have never been major league regulars.

[trwi7]

Rafael Soriano has been suspended for 4 games for hitting Dan Uggla. CONSPIRACY!!!!

[fondybrewfan]

Brewers friggin rule. We will have 1st place to ourselves after this weekend. The only team that is more friggin awesome than the Brewers is the Pirates. The Braves will have to be scraped off of the floor after this series. Now how is that for optimism.

 

Sadly I cant watch Jeff Bennet get rocked tonight. It is date night tonight, I better come home and see a BIG W!!!!

[kgbaseball]

I like it, fondy!

 

Hopefully my favorite player ever, Chipper, records the only 4 hits off of Suppan in a 12-2 Brewers win.

go crew. mojo mojo!

[hawing]

Everybody shout, let's go Bucs!

 

Thanks for the reminder, KG. When I get home tonight I'll have to dig out my Chipper Jones cereal box bobblehead from a ways back. I fashioned a little noose out of a twistie, so it looks like he's choking. Not sure why I did that, but displaying it during Braves series is now a household tradition.
