Still have a chance against the Pirates to hopefully maintain, if not improve our WC lead. The Pirates are in a big slump and the Cards go to Houston....of course, I'm very leary of going to our personal house of horrors after a tough loss to the Cards. Still 3.5 up with 29 to play at least.

It's early yet, but if we can beat the Cardinals tonight, I just have a feeling they're done. Stick a fork in them. You could just see the life, energy and hopes get sucked right out of the crowd and the players when Braun hit the HR last night. Getting swept in a series that they themselves claimed, "They have to win" would be very, very devastating....not to mention the 5 1/2 game lead we would hold with 29 to play. -
I'm looking for 2 (but I realize many will only have 1 to sell, which is just fine) student ticket vouchers to the Wisconsin/Akron football game on August 30th. I'm hoping there are some UW students on here that might not be back at school in time for the game or aren't interested in going. It's a friend of mine's first time going there and it just wouldn't be right to not let him experience the student section (we're both 25). If you are willing to sell or know anyone that is, please let me know. Thanks.

Actually, Bud Selig would be kinda cool.... Gallardo Parra Sabathia (A guy can dream he gets resigned) Brat Yost - I really don't like him, but I'm surprised he doesn't have one. Being the manager and an old player from 82, albeit a backup Bernie Brewer

We have 2 bobblehead games remaining (both going to be popular being Hardy and Hart) and 3 games against the Cubs. Those are almost guranteed to have at least 42,000 there, if not more. I would think averaging 40,307 shouldn't be a problem once you factor those games in.

I talked with my ticket rep yesterday, he said that letters will be mailed to season ticket holders next week, they won't go out until at least Monday.
-
It is pretty impressive for a team that I had basically thought was going to mail it in over the rest of the season...but it's probably a month or so too late for them. Hopefully they can at least beat the Cubs a few times.

The Astros are playing extremely well right now...but I still think it's too little too late. Carlos Lee is out with a broken finger, so I'm expecting their offense to decline (though it's been decent so far). They're just too far back, with too many teams in between. The Brewers are currently 8.5 games up on them, with 41 games remaining. Let's just say we don't implode to end the season and play .500 ball the rest of the way. Let's say we go 20-21 to finish with a record of....90-72. Just to force a one game playoff, the Astros would need to play their last 41 games at a clip of....29-12 or 30-11 to win the WC outright. Granted, they've gone 15-5 in their last 20, which is pretty nice....but they'd have to finish the season by playing .730 baseball while we struggle to play at .500. Couple that with their previous 20 games and they'd be ending the season on a 44-17 tear. Looking at their schedule, they have some tough games yet to play (AZ for 3, 3 @ Mil, 4 @ NYM, 3 vs STL 3 @ CHC, 3 vs CHC, 3 @ FL). That's 22 games against teams currently either in the playoffs or with winning records, only 9 of which are at home. I just don't see it happening, nor do I see us not playing at least .500 the rest of the way. Nor do I see the other 4 teams between us falling apart either. I just don't think it's going to happen, though stranger things have happened.

8/13/08 Brewers (Sabathia) at Padres (Banks): 9:05 PM CDT

This is really getting silly with Counsell starting all of these games. I realize we've been winning, but production needs to come into play at some point. Going 6 for your last 35 simply is not warranting a spot in the lineup. Hall can easily do that poorly against RHP. I find it odd that guys like Durham produce when they actually start, yet that production lands them a seat on the bench. Counsell doesn't do anything for us and earns a spot in the starting lineup....just about every day. This is taking the platoon angle just way too far, it only works if both sides actually produce. If one isn't producing in his half...give the other guy a try. Am I wrong, or did Counsell actually say earlier in the year that if he was playing every day, that was a bad thing for the team? Or am I making that up...I could be http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif -
I really don't like the generic cap idea. I guess I would just prefer if every player was associated with a team (his best years, or where he is remembered most). In this case, he had some pretty good years everywhere but he was with FL the longest and did win a WS

Wow, Shouse gets the right hander to ground into a DP, nicely done....whew. Dodged a bullet there, that could have gotten really ugly. -

I think I've held all of you in suspense for long enough http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I finally asked the big question last night...and she said YES!! I'm now engaged. Thanks to all of you for your help, insight and support. I even told her I posted about the dinner on brewerfan, she thought that was pretty cool. She was like "is there anything you don't talk about on their??". To which of course, I said no....brewerfan is all encompassing! -
Let's just hope CC makes it tomorrow....
-
Just heard on the telecast that Fielder won't be at the block party tomorrow due to some family something or other...this is the second time he's done this now (he missed the season ticket auto signing too). They didn't say if anyone would replace him but he will NOT be at the block party in Elm Grove tomorrow....that outta make the line for CC even longer. great... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Back to back K's...ball game. Dodgers win 4-1! Back to 1 full game up!
-
Cards have 2 on with 1 out in the 9th...down by 3. Broxton pitching, Ankiel PH
-
It says September only but the ones scheduled for August aren't up anymore either. Anyone else think that Autograph Friday's will cease to exist next year too?
-
Dodgers had a chance in the 10th, too bad. And was the gamecast wrong, or did the Dodgers use the pitcher to bat in the 11th, then take him out next half inning? I thought only Yost did that?
-
I would imagine he will be just fine if the Cardinals find a way to win this game...c'mon Dodgers
-
Just looking at the gamecast, it seems as though the Cardinals have gone through all but 7 players.....who do they even have left? Would be nice if this went 15-16 innings, ha.
-
Back to back innings end with lineouts with RISP for the Dodgers. Ouch...had a chance there with runners at the corners and 1 out.
-
And then he strikes out, shoot. C'mon Manny, do something here....that's what I'm saying, this loss would be pretty tough to swallow for the Cards. Manny walked...how about a nice wild pitch or HBP here?
