Whew; great game to be at. Just got back from Minute Maid. I'm pretty sure a 7 2/3 innings 2 run outing is the absolute best you can ask for in that stadium. A few notes -Pregame -- Turnbow takes his steps as if like a placekicker n the outfield. He takes his approach, spits his gum out, and as it falls he kicks it. Wise and Koskie signal the field goal good. Good stuff. -Lee hit 7 consecutive Homeruns into the Crawford Boxes during batting practice and then finished off his session with a bunt down the line http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif -during the game we sat right next to the NFL Record holder Bill Groman He is also the man who is responsible for scouting Brett Favre and reporting to the Falcons. He had a 1998 NFC champs ring from the falcons and was just an awesome conversation. -Good to see the brewers take one. Everyone played well today. Damians throw to third reallly sucked; and it appeared (?) as if Rickie was safe on that double play. The two Cappy's got the job done, and Turnbow sealed the deal. We really needed that for a day off for the bullpen. -I have some cool pictures from the two games that I will post in the Off-Topic forum when i get back to Waukesha. UNDEFEATED HOMESTAND coming up?

Well last night was not a good night to be at Minute maid... Hopefully tonight will be better. A few observations: -Astros fan are VERY nice and polite; but they honestly don't seem to know much about baseball (most; not all -- I sat next to some very knowledgable fans) -Most fans didn't know when to cheer unless told to. It seemed the only time fans got behind their pitchers or batters is whenever the cute little "GET LOUD" animations came on the LCD panels. -They are very fair weather fans. They would scream at Garner to pull Milller; yell obnoxiously loud when Lidge comes out, cheer for him throughout the 8th; boo him in the ninth after the HR and after each non-strike pitch; and then cheer after every strike... -The lack of tailgating really got me flustered... -Minute Maid is a very cool park. Some good monuments and fun little things around the park. The 7th inning Hummer race did not even compare to the Sausages obviously, but overall a very cool stadium -The food was a lot more expensive than miller park; which was to be expected; but $4.00 for a hot dog (well... a "star dog") and $5.00 for a 20 oz. soda was a little outrageous. I did find it cool that they had Beer Brats just for this series in honor of the Brewer fans and Wisconsin. -Off topic here, but how didn't Yost pull Davis after 7 in 2+ innings? Anyways... -Ben Sheets threw us a ball during Batting practice because he saw we were Brewer fans; that was pretty cool. He also threw one up to some Astros fans, who didn't catch it, and fell back on the field. Ben took off his glove; stared at them and clapped for a good ten seconds. Then he just turned around leaving the ball on the ground. Good time. Tonight I'll be sitting behind the Brewers dugout; wearing my shirt that has the Brewers glove logo and "Everyone Else Sucks" below it; hope I don't get murdered... GAIN SOME MOMENTUM COMING BACK TO MILWAUKEE GUYS!!

Check for me on the broadcast tonight. I'll be a big fat kid in a huge bright yellow brewers shirt http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif Can't wait to go to the game tonight and tomorrow; Minute Maid seems like a cool stadium. Last night sucked... watched the game in a sports bar down here and made myself look like a really idiot when i stood and started yelling in Prince shot (which i thought was a HR...) Lets turn it around tonight!

Wow; now you're just making stuff up. Wynegar said with people like Jenkins they have to hit through it; and he only gives him pointers. He didn't ever say anything about Jenk's being stubborn

Whisky i can handle the extreme pessimism; but the extremely low intelligence and lack of anything along the lines of grammar is really getting tough

Maybe because he was 0-8 with 6 Ks against Cappy?

Whisky are you even a brewers fan? why are you here?

I see the logic... but... Walking Jenkins to get to Lee http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

Uh-oh; Shaky game last night, and three days in a row pitching... LETS GO TURBOW!

Boring inning there... That looks like the Duke we all hate..

"turnbow on pace for 162 saves." I believe you meant to say 173. Are we forgetting about the playoffs? Come on now http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Pirates seem to have a bunch of brewer killers on their team now. Jack and Craig Wilson, and Sean Casey

I love koskie. Such a calm swing it seems like he could foul-off pitches forever! He always makes contact. Miller just straightout having a game. Looking like an all-star today http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif 3 RBIs and that great play on the error... great 7, 8 hitters for the brewers. Now who hits? I hope Corey. But then again Billy needs to play in just about every game

That run was on purpose. Save #2 for T-Bow!

ugh; you just have to feel for him!

And i say "eat that!" To all the Melvin doubters and casual fans doubting the Lyle Overbay trade! Here's to a great season!

Wow, veteran play by Miller right there. Great to see him covering for the new-comer http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif One thing I've noticed; Is Sutton's new word "hurler" this year? He said it three times withing about 2 minutes... Might get annoying

So prince, since he isn't getting any ABs here, is still eligible for ROY next year correct? Or has he reached the magic number?

I bet Prince pulled if off quite nicely ... But Dana on the other hand...

is that just the mlb.com fan forum?

On pace for an 84 pitch Complete game. Now if only our offense ever did anything right...

Lineups (According to MLB Gameday) MILWAUKEE Brady Clark Rickie Weeks Lyle Overbay Carlos Lee Geoff Jenkins Damian Miller Wes Helms J.J. Hardy Victor Santos ST. LOUIS David Eckstein John Rodriguez Albert Pujols Jim Edmonds Mark Grudzielanek Abraham Nunez So Taguchi Mike Mahoney Matt Morris --------------------------------------------------------------------- If I see Chris Magruder and/or Trent Durrington Pinch hit before Hall or Branyan I will flip out

Smallest Game thread ever?

I hear you ^^^ I saw Chad Moeller at the movie theatre (westown in Waukesha) with his wife on Wednesday after that dissapointing loss. Didn't look to sad http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Oh cmon guys, you have a man on third, 1 out, there are sooo many ways you can score that runner. With such speed merely getting the ball into play will score that runner!
