PRINCE!!! GOTTA LOVE THE RALLY CAPS.

RALLY CAPS TIME. LET'S GET SOME RUNS!

THE RALLY CAPS AND MY BREWER HAT WORKED! RALLY CAPS THREAD TOMORROW?

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

RICKIE. K OR POPUP?

BY THE WAY, I STILL HAVE MY RALLY CAP ON.

Why do they always get my hopes up only to dash them?

Could Fielder have hit that any harder?

I'm feeling at least one run in the bottom of the eighth. SHOULD WE GIVE THE RALLY CAPS A TRY? Edit: I'm putting my Brewer hat on too.

A strikeout or a popup would have been okay there.

Braun got things started nicely there. I want something out of Fielder, here. That was something.

Can you please request a three run inning?

Woooohooooo!

Hall prediction: popup

A RUN!

A good throw would have gotten him easily. 2 errors on one play by the 3rd baseman, too bad that wasn't Braun, he would have been good for two homers next inning. Why does Prince always have to swing so hard?

Another popup. Imagine that.

Just realized the game is in HD. Hopefully, the cannel change will bring good luck.

The pitcher batting 8th seems to be working for the Cards.

This is getting ugly quickly. Again.

The 1-0 to Hardy was a strike? I give up.

Our plate discipline just sucks.

Five pitches so far this inning. One in the strike zone... five swings.

Rollie Fingers '82, Paul Molitor '80, Pete Vukovich '83 (& '84), Larry Hisle '79 (basically ended his career). Robert Brooks '96, Dorsey Levens '98, Reggie White '96 (miraculously healed) Just a few off the top of my head.

I think that the board in general is tilted to the negative. IMO, some of it has to do with the Brewers sucking for so long and 'everybody' being a Packer/NFL fan. In the NFL, every game is important, a tough loss can affect the season and a two or three game losing streak can destroy a season. It seems that many view every Brewer game as a must win and overreact to individual losses, a poor at bat, a bad pitch, etc. The baseball season is a marathon and you can't get too high or too low over an individual game, let alone one at bat or one pitch. I also believe that the board is negative towards Yost and every move he makes is second guessed. It's not always the same people but it's always somebody. If he plays Kapler with a righty on the mound, somebody complains that he likes to play the hot hand rather than going with the probabilities. If he starts Gwynn, somebody else complains that he sticks too closely to the lefty/right platoon and should go with the guy that is hot. No matter what he does, he gets ripped. And even when he does make the 'right' move (translation: one that works), somebody will always claim that he got lucky and his strategy is flawed but the player bailed him out. Yost even gets blamed for Turnbow's ineptitude; apparently he can only bring him in at the start of an inning with a righty at bat on an even numbered day on the road when there isn't a full moon and the temperature is between 62 and 73... C'mon, Turnbow just sucks or, at best, needs a change of scenery. He didn't fail in Milwaukee because of Ned Yost. I actually think that some people on this board would be disappointed if the Brewers won the World Series because then Yost would likely be given a contract extension.
