How does our rotation line up against the Cubs for this weekend? Anybody know off hand?

And to add to this - I would not want to be the Cubs any weekend......unless its payday weekend for Soriano..... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Prince awakens!

I do agree that no matter how Gomez is doing at the plate, he does always hustle on the bases and he goes nuts in the field

Braun is a stud, no doubt. I have been surprised with Edmonds, he has done very well. And it pains me.....because I hate all things Cardinals and Cubs. But he is a nice insurance policy for Corey Hart, and he has gotten on base so far. I love the comments on the "Pirate slump busters!"

If any of you are into reading about WWII (My obsession) the book "The Pacific" which the HBO miniseries is based on is much, much better than the actual miniseries. Very well written.

When Braun is at the plate right now, the ball has got to look like a beach ball coming at him. Dead on everything lately!

Bomb. Two nites in a row with a big lead. This makes me very happy! Great stuff! Does anybody know if Prince and Rickie are still #1 and #2 in hit by pitches this season?

I sure wish Yo could get thru 5 innings before going over 100 pitches......that has got to be a major concern for the Crew

I got married in Madison last summer. Through Nedrobos formalwear, if you order anything through them, you can get a huge discount on Rawlings official baseball bats engraved, which are in their product catalog. On the bats themselves, you can get up to thirty items per line - 3 lines total on the barrel. I ordered 12 - one for me, all of the guys standing up, ushers, dads, etc. They looked awesome. Final price was $42 per bat. They order them directly through the bat company. Orignal price (without their discount) was quoted at $58. It was perfect. Worth every penny.....so if your still looking to order, please try through who your getting your tuxes from. By the way, the bat that I ordered for my wife and I reads on the barrel Joe and Alyssa (our names) Our biggest Day August 1st, 2009 They turned out great. Best of luck and congrats!

It probably was tipped.....or at least his stick was hit. Brian Engblom reallly came to Boyle's defense, that was kind of cool.

To answer the original question.....yep, I think giving Macha the boot would not hurt anything. Could it hurt anything? I agree with many of your arguements in this thread......I just dont see KM leading the crew to "the promised land." That would take Ditka..... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Does anyone else think Ovechkin celebrates just a little too much whenever his team does anything right? I understand a big goal, but a good pass? A nice hit? A faceoff win? Does he jump up and down when he ties his shoes in the morning? Act like a scoring champ for the great one's sake........

Ouch......that hurts. I stopped watching right before this happened......

I agree.....we already took a huge hit when the goalie coach (Howard, if memory serves me right) retired.......

Very cool. I hope he rocks it at the next level.

Good idea! I will start.....I would really love to see a Penguins vs. Blackhawks final.

I am a huge Penguins fan, and it pains me to hope they beat Brian Elliot tonight...... But I do really like the Blackhawks and the Preds..........They are in my top 5! But #1- I am a Badger fan first!

Great ending!

Do you love the "on-the-field" camera for Cardinals home runs? Where was that guy during the Crews?

Arrowhead's 7 footer Ben Mills was released from his commitment to Boise St. today. He has interests from a lot of schools, but so far, not UW or MU. Wisconsin needs guards.....while Marquette could use another big. It should be interesting to see where he lands.

Chris Chellios was out chatting with the people after the game at his bar. (Chelli's Chilli) Really nice guy, was very cool. He said a ton of the things you guys have discussed here. What got me is his size - Maybe 5' 10'', but if he weighed more than 175 I would be surprised. He was very small......but looked young. Held a very nice event at his place for the games. His location across from Comerica and 1 block from Ford certainly helped a ton too!

Getting up at 4:45am, driving 7 hours to freakin Detroit, only to see Bucky play awfully. Had a great time otherwise, before and after, but man, to go that far and lose like that really bugs me....... Oh and having a chat with Chellios and having my camera not work. That sucked too......

I agree with all of you. It was sad being there as well. I would guess about 80% of the fans at Ford field were Badger fans......a guy from New Hampshire called BC the "Michigan of the East Coast" and chatted with us about how much everyone hates them......that was pretty funny. The environment could have been a lot better, but the fans were fun and the game looked to be a great one. But it was heartbreaking to see the game go that way. Outplayed the first period, but only down 1-0 was tough. The second period, UW had a lot of life and took control of the game. They just couldnt lite the lamp. At that point, it was a great game.....1-0, life going into the third. But to fall apart like that......it was tough to take. 2 backhand - poor angle goals was a kick to the guts. Stepan going down was pretty sad as well - several fans at the postgame tailgate party said he was vomiting while walking to the dressing room. It was a tough pill to take..... A lot of the fans around us, from all over the place, asked what happened to the Badgers. I think we all were asking the same thing. BC seemed to get all the bounces, breaks, and really outplayed UW. Its too bad, because if these teams play the best of seven it would be a 4-3 series......but thats how it goes I guess. It was a very good year for Bucky. They will lose a ton of tallent, however, a lot will be back and our next two recruited classes are rated at the top of college hockey. I agree with what logan said above.....we need to hope a few guys stay (Stepan for sure, Gardiner, etc) but Eaves is a good coach and a great recruiter.....so they should be alright. Bring on a few new opponents in Bemidji and Neb-Omaha, and I am excited for next season.

Leaving Saturday morning at 6am for Detroit. Besides Chellios's Chilli joint, what else is a "must-see" in downtown Detroit? I hopefully will need a good night spot to cellebrate after a Badger win. Let me know
