Hart is out on a double switch.

Now that we are at .500 again and Prince's perceived value could not be higher, how about trading him now? Could we get a Josh Beckett for Hanley Ramirez type deal from anyone (where Prince would be the Josh in the deal)? How much could be extract from Boston right now besides Buchholz? Also, maybe we could force the (high payroll) trading partner to take Billy Hall.

I called Will's and the guy told me it was a Cub bar.

I'm in Geneva, IL, a far western suburb of Chicago, and I'm looking for a fun place to watch the game. Any suggestions? Or should I just make the 2 hour trip to Milwaukee?

Good post

Sheets pitched 7 innings and gave up 2 ER, 4 H and 2 BB. That's good enough to win on most nights; he isn't going to pitch a CG shutout every game. That is CC's job http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Please consider me for the free tickets. Thanks so much!

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but Milwaukee has a tremendous record of 17-6 in 1 run games. This is easily the best 1 run game record in the league, and it is tied for the most 1 run wins in the league. It would seem that we have been a little lucky in having such a strong record in 1 run games and we should expect to regress closer to .500 in these close games.

Anybody else think it might be a good idea to go back to 14 pitchers?

Is it tough to find parking near the Howard red-line stop?

I'm heading to Wrigley for the first time on Thursday afternoon with my brother (field box on the first base side). Can anyone help me with some tips? 1. I'm tentatively planning to take Metra in from the far western Chicago suburbs (Geneva) and then planning to take the Red or Brown line, but my brother will be coming from the south side of Milwaukee. What is the best way for my brother to meet me for the game? Amtrak from Milwaukee to Chicago? Metra from Kenosha? Park somewhere (??)on the north side and take the Red line in directly? Park somewhere in Wrigleyville (for free??) and walk to the park? From what I can tell, any of the shuttles that sometimes service Wrigley don't operate for day games in May. 2. Any particular suggestions for grabbing something to eat or grabbing a beer either before or after the game? Any other things around the park that we should be sure to check out? 3. Any serious chance that we will get physically hassled at the game if we wear Brewers gear? I don't care about a little verbal abuse (I would be dissapointed otherwise). My brother and I are both tall guys, but we aren't really interested in any shoving matches, beer showers or worse. 4. Any other tips you would share with people making their first trip to Wrigley?

It was actually Favre

Great. That is what I like to hear! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
