Ballgame! Good team effort tonight and Prince added a little too I guess.

It was not just your comment bobskube, but a lot of people I have been talking to lately seem to think that Turnbow is garbage and I just get really frustrated. Didn't mean to single you out, your statement just reminded me of a lot of things I have been hearing from knee-jerk friends of mine. My apology if I offended you in any way. That was not my intent and I agree with your assessment of Turnbow trying to overthrow.

J.J. is now in the dugout, fuming about that first inning shot that hooked just foul. Prince is going to be a monster. Better yet, Prince already is a monster.

These reactions are getting very old. The guy has a 4-run lead and is challenging hitters with strikes, gives up a solo shot and it is an immediate cause for concern. Relievers can't throw up zeros every time out. I simply am not concerned with Turnbow and a rough outing here and there. The guy has been great out of the pen this year other than one outing in Philly.

Is anyone watching this game? I just want to know how Sheets has looked so far. The numbers indicate he is throwing the ball well, but just wanted someone who is actually watching the game to comment on how his command has been and if his curveball is good today.

Not a bad game overall, but I can't help going back to the missed call in the 4th inning when Suppan dragged his back foot over the bag and beat Beltran to the base. 2-run homer by Delgado followed and one run ended up being the difference in the game. That was a big missed call as it turned out. We need Sheets to shut them down tomorrow. Not a terrible game overall though.

2-0 Buccos!!! Bay doubles on pop up to Derosa? Join chat if you want to talk Brewers and bash the Cubs.

Unfortunately, I am a 25 year old male a little past his prime as far as physique goes. I would rate my body as slightly better than Will Ferrell's, but not quite in the Jack Palance category. Confidence is very sexy, don't you think?

Yes, there are too many great moments to choose from. Prince's homer off of Bumpy Blueberry was an epic way to finish an epic game! Jenkins with a great catch. Hardy with a couple great plays at short. Carlos New Village with 4 innings of shutout relief. I just want to run around naked.

One word.....Permagrinhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Win or lose, you can't say enough about Carlos New Village tonight. He's done a great job eating significant innings and giving the Crew a chance to win.

The Cubs in-game thread at northside baseball is hilarious. Guys are questioning how Villanueva can still be working after throwing 50 pitches as a reliever.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Uecker said Estrada's preliminary condition was good. Nothing wrong at the first glance, but keep your fingers crossed. Uecker gave me a heart attack on that Weeks flyout. He started the home run call with an emphatic "Rickie to left!" Godd thing my DirectTV receiver is on the fritz. And just again with Prince! C'mon Ueck. Don't do that to me.

Jenkins looks like a totally different hitter this year. Much more controlled. Hopefully he keeps it up.

It was just one game, but the Brewers as a team made a statement about everything they have been building for as an organization and have been preaching about. Everything that was important to this teams success this year showed in today's game. Here are just some thoughts. 1. Great at-bats as a whole today. The Brewers made sure that Lowe was not going to pitch very long today by being extremely patient at the plate. Even when some hitters got down 0-2, 1-2 in the count, they ended up drawing a walk. They also hit the ball hard and the opposite way on a number of occasions. Jenkins even hit the ball hard off of a lefty. 2. I think a lineup with Hall in center and J.J. at short is the best for the team. Billy did a very good job at short last year, but the fluency with which J.J. plays the position is a thing of beauty, not to mention that Hall's jump off the bat on his diving catch was great as well and he was also close to robbing Kent's homerun. 3. Ben Sheets is our ace and made a statement as to why he is one of the best pitchers in MLB when healthy. Grest performance overall. 4. Johnny Estrada is going to be a major part of the teams success if he can continue hitting like he is capable. He looked good at the plate and even walked! 5. Milwaukee fans who booed Brady Clark were drunk and wrong in doing so. He got a big ovation before the game when the sober crowd was in the stadium. He was a hard worker who never complained and who overachieved with the Brewers. Don't hate a guy for being traded. It was strictly business. I know this was only .61728395% of the season, but it was great to see the team get off to a good start. There was just a different vibe and atmosphere in the air today that is hard to describe, but seemed to say "we expect to win".

Agreed brettac. Some people like to dwell on the negative more than others. The loss hurts and the last thing I want to read is some guy posting "I told you so" when the Brewers lose. Oh well, we could be watching the Bucks and the joke that is the NBA. Usually when we count the Brewers out, they surprise us, only to tear our beating hearts out of our chest yet again.

HOW ABOUT THAT ONE FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this game doesn't end soon, we are about to find out.

Barnwell's Gameday photo looks like a glamour shot. What an icy glare. Steel Blue? C'mon Chris!!!!!!!!

Nice job b2k....anytime you can work Anchorman into a game-thread that smoothly, it deserves recognition. Let's go bats!!!

This is where Carlos needs to get on base....although I wouldn't mind if it were an HR either. Edit: Nevermind.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

2-0 is a hitter's pitch. That is better than swinging on the first pitch, but doesn't make GIDP hurt any less. Dear God, Please help the bullpen pitch well. Amen.

I hate to place too much emphasis on a single game, but this one would be very nice to win. Potentially 3.5 GB of the division lead with only 4 games to go before the break and 2 games or less out of the wild card. Who would have guessed? C'Mon Gabe, Rillo and Rickie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D-BOWWWWWWWWWWW

If Jenkins weren't such a slow piece of garbage, he could have caught that one chest high.
