  1. Sveum said it himself at the rally 10 minutes ago. Gallardo game 1, CC game 2.
  2. All I could think of was how all the poor play, all those bad memories of Wes Helms in a Brewer uniform were completely wiped away with one swing of a bat.
  3. On the MP scoreboard it mentioned fireworks and player appearances. See ya all there!
  4. I really believe there's no one in the NL that has meant more to his team. I think he's the NL MVP.
  5. Rename the tallest building after him. CC Center.
  6. I was fortunate enough to be at the game and it was everything I always imagined and then some. We got out of our seats after the 5th inning and went for a walk around the concourse. Just looking to break away from all the bad vibes from the fans around us. The place was like a morgue at that point. We finally settled in a spot where we could see the field, a monitor with the Brewers game, and a monitor with the Mets game. Soon enough the Marlins got their first 2 runs. Then the Mets tied things up. Then Counsell tied things with a walk. I kid you not, when I saw Wes Helms come up to pinch hit, I turned to my wife and said..."Wouldn't it be crazy if Wes Helms hit a home run and gave Florida the lead?" Moments later he did just that and before the ball even landed I had jumped about 10 feet in the air three times yelling through the concourse: "Wes Friggin Helms, Wes Friggin Helms!". I was high-fiving strangers running and jumping in the air. Repeat on Uggla's homer. Repeat on Braun's homer. And repeat on the double ball ball by CC. We went back to our seats after the Brewers victory and watched the Mets lose on the big video screen. I gotta tell you when that ball by Church was caught the crowd went nuts, and confetti and streamers started pouring from the air. My wife captured some of it on video with our cell phone. When we get it uploaded I'll post some of it. Awesome experience. Thank you CC Sabathia, Ryan Braun, and Mark Attanasio!
  7. They did finish the season winning 6 of the last 7. That's good enough for me. Now I need BCU's contact info so I can send him that signed Weeks jersey. The Brewers pulled it out and he deserves it. I'm so excited right now! They friggin did it! My reverse jinx payed off! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I gotta get that jersey to BCU! GormanHarvey, you seem to know BCU. Can you get me contact info or address so I can ship it to him? Anyone else know BCU?
  8. They were just talking him up on 1250 AM at Fiesta Girabaldi. Apparently our Happy Youngster (Nick) brought champagne and is spraying the crowd there. Everyone was going nuts and loving it. Way to go Nick!
  9. Thank You George Petak!
  10. It went just like I pictured it. What a fantastic day! What a fantastic result! What a great experience being there at Miller Park!
  11. Since I tend to be a pessimist, it excites me to wake this morning with nothing but a peaceful confidence. I don't know how things are going to unfold today. I don't know if the Brewers are going to win in a laugher, if they're going to win in dramatic, nail-biting fashion, or if their even going to win at all. The only feeling I have is that somehow everything will work out. I usually dread days like this. I'm usually lamenting the fact that things couldn't have gone smoother or easier. Like clinching a spot with two weeks to go, for instance. I usually witness a day like yesterday, where everything went wrong for Wisconsin sports fans, and assume there's no way it won't carry over into today. But you know what, the Brewers aren't throwing a gimpy starting pitcher out there today. The Cubs aren't sending out a streaking left-hander who pitches on that Miller Park mound like he was raised on it. And all Johan Santana can do for the Mets today is clap and cheer from the dugout. Somehow, some way, I just feel like it's our time. At the very minimum, allow yourself a few minutes to cast aside your doubts, dreads, fears, and enjoy the moment. And no matter what negative thoughts go through your head, or what bad vibes you feel in the early stages of these two important games, know that some diehard fan out there who is no better, no worse, no different from you, has confidence that at the end of the day, Brewers' fans will be pleased with the result.
  12. He's sending them out there to get there work in, stay sharp, and yes to uphold the integrity of the series. He managed the exact same way versus the Mets. Do yourself a favor and go for a walk or something. Don't be a whiner.
  13. Brewers fans should be thrilled with Pinella right now for using Wood in a non-save situation. In all likelihood, neither Wood nor Marmol will be looked on to pitch tomorrow.
  14. EXACTLY my point. Where was marmol in the 8th inning on thursday in a game they were winning?? Don't give me that wet field crap. The conditions were the same for both teams.The stakes weren't the same for both teams though. The Cubs had zero to gain and a whole lot to lose if Marmol or Wood get hurt on a wet mound. No manager in his right mind would send his prized relievers out there in those conditions with nothing on the line for his club. You're being irrational and would probably be best served to step away from the computer and take a deep breath.
  15. It was raining and the field was a mess. Let's not be whiners. You wouldn't want our manager throwing our best relievers out there in those same circumstances.
  16. I would think this means no Marmol for tomorrow.
  17. I have a feeling that the Brewers will finish 1 game behind the Mets. Which of course will make that blown game this past Thursday by Torres the all-time stomach punch loss.
  18. They went with the AAA lineup today but still won. They're still 1 win away from clinching home-field thru the NL playoffs. I imagine they'll have a regular or two missing from the lineup each day. And some days they'll probably field the all backup lineup like they did today. The real issue though is that they'll be limiting their starters innings. Dempster went 5 innings today and left having given up only 1 run after 67 pitches. The Brewers are gonna need the Cubs backups and bullpen to come through vs. the Mets.
  19. You want them to sweep the Brewers?
  20. Lose Cubs Lose will be my daily cry from now until the end of their season. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later. And I especially hope it rings true these next three days. Note: This topic edited Friday 9/26 following the Mets/Cubs series where I was forced by gunpoint to pull for the Cubs for four days.
  21. I am a fine person living in New York. I'll take your word for it, and re-phrase by saying that I'm not convinved there are any fine Mets and Phillies fans out there.
  22. Are you sure on that? I coulda sworn that it was Algonquin for STEALING MONEY. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  23. My only problem with that is that means the Brewers would be recycling an old manager that got fired somewhere else, which means he was likely making the same mistakes over and over that Yost was. Not if that man goes by the name of one Tom Kelly. Hey, I allowed to dream, aren't I? It's the best medicine for times like these.
  24. I don't know how people seem to think they know so much about Sveum - give the guy a chance. You ask me, he made all the right moves in Chicago It's not based upon my opinion of Sveum. It's based on my belief that unless the Brewers make the playoffs and essentially have no choice but to give Dale the job, that Mark A. is going to want to pony up and get a proven winner. Someone who has managed a team to a playoff berth in the past.
