[SeriesFinale]

Lock this one up

[pitchleague]

well, I see this will be the shortest IGT of the season. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still watching the game. Might even post in here, too.

[SeriesFinale]

Win #82 is going to be a mostly joyless experience for me.

 

That said, I hope they get it. And I know a few obnoxious Padres fans, too. Misery loves company.

 

Might as well "finish strong." (Woe, woe, woe)

[And That]

If the Brewers can't even manage their 82nd win, this season will be utterly pathetic. So, that's why I'll be watching.

[Oldcity]

What would make you guys feel worse: Winning the next two as the Cubs drop the next two, allowing the Brewers to finish one game back; or losing the next two games and finishing .500?

 

I can't really decide.

[JumpinMacFlash]

To echo what Toby said, not making 82 wins would be simply pathetic. I can handle losing by one game. Another non-winning season will just tick me off.

[trwi7]

Badgers or Brewers game that doesn't matter? Hmm I wonder what I'll choose.

Losing the next two. At this point, I assume the Cubs are throwing out scrub starting lineups (and we may be too...a Nix/Gwynn/Gross starting OF, anyone? Stocker starting?) so the final standings are kinda meaningless.

Really I guess I just don't care either way.

 

 

 

 

[hawing]

You know, I understand the black graphics above, because I am also experiencing the pain and frustration...but the Brewers do have a starter tonight whose last name is Bush, not Over.

 

I'm going to do my best to enjoy the last two games for what they are: two more chances to see the Brewers in action before a long off-season.

 

It will be interesting to see the fan dynamic these last two dates. I'm not sure if that'll be good or bad.

[MoneyballMan]

I'd be watching and posting, but have to golf here in Dallas as part of a tradeshow. Carry on without me and hope for that 82nd win!! We can still play a little bit of a spoiler with SD.

[crewcrazy]

Go out and save your job for next year, Dave. Finishing the year above .500 would at least be something to hang our hats on this year.

[dpapo]

Well, I won't be watching the game only because of Fox blackout rules, otherwise I would be watching it. So, if the Brewers win game no. 82, it'll be today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[hawing]

The Brewers currently sport a .667 winning percentage when we attend games (14-7). This percentage has been unusually consistent since mid-May, and contributes to my hope for today (and/or tomorrow).

 

I'll be the one in the terrace box family section trying to keep a stiff upper lip.

[brewcrewkid14]

I'm sorta' hoping that they can win their 82nd tomorrow when I go. I know that's selfish, obviously I still hope they win today.

 

I'm interested to see how the fans are too, hawing.

[thablingster]

It is too bad we can't enter X amount of coins to continue, lol.

 

I have to work today, so I won't be able to watch. The season would feel like an even bigger failure if we don't even win 82 games, so I do hope we get one today or tomorrow.

[pebadger]

Seeing the fan reaction is, to me, the biggest reason to watch the game, but honestly, I won't see any of it other than what I catch in breaks in the Badger game. I'm just hopeful that the mood is not an ugly one.

 

Hope the Crew can get to 82 and beyond, but only if it doesn't mean that somehow both the Mets and Phils get in. Just hoping that, win or lose, they play good baseball these last two games and learn something from the team with the second best record in the National League. SD came in and just played baseball without too much emotional baggage tugging them down. Something for the young guys to file away for next season.

[davego]

At least with 82 we don't have to hear how many years its been since a winning season anymore. Small victories.

[biedergb]

In true fashion, now that the games are meaningless Geoff Jenkins comes up with an RBI triple with 2 out. Geez, where was that the past 2 months?

[crewcrazy]

Looks like Bush is pitching well this afternoon, which is good to see. Unfortunately, I'm forced to follow this one on GameDay, since I'm stuck with Philly/Washington on FOX here. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[adamb100]

Weeks hits one out!

 

2-1 Brew Crew

[jason21nl]

nice HR call Matty V

[bthurley19]

Not to be negative but anyone else thinking, who is going to blow it today from the bullpen?

[crewcrazy]

Rickie's giving me a lot of reason to be optimistic about 2008. If he can stay healthy for a whole year, he's going to be extremely fun to watch next year.
