2008 Silver Lining Thread

[BrewCrewForever]

CC goes tomorrow. That is all I got.

[BrewCrewForever]

Davey Nelson said the Brewers would play better tomorrow.

[crewcrazy]

Even if the Brewers go a semi-disastrous 11-12 to close out the year, the Phillies will have to go 16-6 and the Cards will have to go 17-5 to catch us. If the Brewers can go 12-11 counting the loss tonight, the Phils have to go 17-5 and the Cards have to go 18-4. Starting September 0-4 sucks, but it's definitely not as bad as it looks.

We've played like poop for 4 days, lost 4 straight and we fell to .20 games over .500 and a 4 game lead in the WC...it could be a lot worse. Still control our own destiny...

No kidding. I was almost stunned when I saw this morning that we still had a 4 game lead and were still 5 games behind the Cubs. It's almost unbelievable.

CC Sabathia is my bestest friend. He doesn't know that, but you know, minor details. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

 

I can't wait to watch him work again tonight.

my silver lining is that I haven't thrown my remote or anything else this year and I have screamed very little. Very very amazing for me..Go Crew!

[Thwarted By the Thracians]

At least Gagne only gave up one run! Great success!

[PeaveyFury]

Prince Fielder won't be sucking at 1B for us in a few more years.

[ELCABALLO45]

Even if it was the Padres. Even if Sabathia pitched today.

 

In September, a win is a win, and I will take it!

[jason21nl]

we over came our manager and managed to pull out a win

[PeaveyFury]

We've played like crap in September so far and gained a half game on the Cubs.

[DuWayne Steurer]

There's one less 8th inning left this season for Gagne to pitch in.

[And That]

Ryan Braun's BB rate by month in 2008:

 

Apr.: every 27.5 ABs

May: every 19.7 ABs

Jun.: every 17.5 ABs

Jul.: every 12.6 ABs

Aug.: every 12.7 ABs

Sep.: every 6.3 ABs

 

Getting better!

[razzzorsharp]

Getting closer to having another flag next to that lonely 82 flag hanging in Miller Park. At this point I would be happy with a "2008 Wild Card" one.

[And That]

The Brewers are 2-0 since I shaved my 'stache.

[Ennder]

If the Brewers play .500 ball the rest of the year the Phillies need to go 15-6 (.714) to tie them.

[Kevbo74]

There's a conversation on the board about how many at bats Gamel could get, and whether or not we'll even see him play an inning at third base.

The Giants just called up a 3B, (Conor Gillaspie) who was just drafted this year, and doesn't even have 100 pro at bats, and they're going to going to give him plenty of starts.

Pretty nice to be on this side of the spectrum.

The Brewers clinched a winning season - on September 6 - and their second consecutive winning season since 1991-92.

When I saw win 82 next to the box score last night, I let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness the losing seasons are completely in the rear view mirror, at least for a couple of seasons now.

[razzzorsharp]

Brewers are still in the forefront and it's football season!

 

 

(Yeah 2000 posts)

[davego]

Still in the hunt for the Cubs, still have to WC lead...still...

[hawing]

Hey! No Brewer had a worse day today than 0-for-3. (at the plate, at least)

[dlk9s]

The nice thing about where we are in the standings is the pretty symmetry. 4 games back, 4 games ahead.

I was looking for one thing in this thread to make me feel better about the week ahead, and this at least made me laugh. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
