Buy Cousins Subs (on Miller Park way) and bottled sodas and bring them in.

Another game that they wouldn't have won last year. Awesome!!!!

I didn't give myself that avatar, but it looks like the Dec 1, 2007 winter storm to me. Nothing to do with the Hurricane, although his nickname would definitely generate some great T-shirts.

I was watching last year, and I saw all of the following:-Our pitchers melted down after Yost "undressed" them -Our pitchers melted down if Yost didn't "undress" them or sent Maddux out there -If Yost took out the pitcher, the next one melted down also Our bullpen stunk last year. It didn't matter what the situation was, there was a good chance they were going to blow the lead. The other issue is that we have been high on Bush/Parra/Villanueva, but they all have consistent difficulties pitching into the late innings. Yost has an obligation to try and help them get through as many innings as possible--they will never learn how to get out of jams in key game situations if they don't get experience doing it. I'm in the minority, but I am expecting Parra to be sent to AAA this weekend and I won't be upset over it.

The Hurricane has been downgraded to a tropical storm... Re-intensification is likely due to a strong wind current coming from Gabe Gross' whiffing.

Need to chew them out? They aren't 2-10 like the Tigers, they are 8-6 (as of this game) and now 9-6 and in 2nd place. If they keep up a 9-6 pace, they win the division, despite all the issues going on right now. No worries. As for when they happen on the mound, from what I've seen, they have almost always been effective at generating results.

According to the Brewers website, the game is on. The next non-televised game is April 24th (Thursday afternoon vs. Phillies)

The ESPN bullpen stats are cool, but the Brewers' ERA is distorted right now due to McClung getting lit up. I would say our bullpen has been excellent so far.

I know we have a reputation for booing, but he will get a long standing ovation, no doubt about it. That being said, if he hits a home run, he will get booed, but that's understandable

Definitely a "must win". Playoff teams don't lose 2 series in a row, ever.

Were his shoelaces untied?

I don't see what's wrong with the pitch count. It's not like he threw 130 pitches. He got 5 days rest and he's going to get another 5 days before his next start. Single for the Hurricane!!!

Brian House gets it done again.

Maybe time for him to go now.

Haha, I thought he was around 95. I just don't think he should go over 110.

I vote for bringing Sheets out and seeing if he can mow them down again, but have someone warming right away and pull him at 105 pitches or so.

Those two "Badger Mutual" insurance runs are going to make a big difference in this ballgame "presented by Kohls".

Booooooing never sounded so good!!! Nice of Willie to "pull a Yost" and leave him in too long.

This is an important reminder for Brewers fans that all is not lost when we lose 3 games in a row. The offense is a concern, but I certainly don't doubt that the offense will heat up when the weather warms up. What is much worse is to have pitching problems already in April. Starters with short outings burns the bullpen out early in the year, and as pitchleague mentioned, the Cubs won those extra innings games, but there will be consequences for it down the road. Plus, seeing Zambrano be himself yesterday doesn't help things. I'll take 6 inning starts by Villanueva/Parra over that anyday. Furthermore, teams like the Orioles/Marlins/Cardinals are not going to maintain these hot starts.

The Shea gun is probably correct and the guns everywhere else are exaggerated.

David Wrong messes that one up.

So a check-swing single and one hanging curveball constitutes "figuring out" a pitcher? Add this to one of the 60 losses, there isn't anything Yost could have done if we don't score runs.

I live in one of the tower apartment buildings near State St. A long list of crimes has occurred within a block of me--a sexual assault last year and this year there have been several muggings. I know two people who live on Doty St. about a block down from where the murder occurred. They (and others) are definitely, but I wouldn't say anyone is freaking out besides maybe parents who hear the exaggerated version on the news. The fact is that almost all of the crimes involve either alcohol or occur late at night when people are walking alone in dark places. Thus, most people are just exercising the precautions that they should have been doing the entire time, such as not walking home alone at night. At my apartment, I hear screaming quite frequently, there have been several shouting matches with swearing--I don't really make much of it since it's usually a domestic type thing and there is usually alcohol involved. An intoxicated person got trapped in the elevator a few months ago and made enough noise that the entire 10-story building heard him. A fire alarm gets pulled about every other weekend. Vandalism happens all of the time. All this stuff I see as just a consequence of living near the bars and almost always there are no innocent bystanders involved. But you can see by these examples why most people usually don't go out alone at night around here. The scary part of the murder is that it seems to have happened during the day and that the person may have randomly picked her out. However, I have heard so many rumors that I don't know what is fact at what isn't--I've heard that she was either shot or stabbed, it happened in the day or the night before, that the murderer either followed her home or broke in, etc. I assume the facts will come out eventually, it will be interesting to see whether there is a DNA match with the other murder, which definitely would cause a stir. Those tests take several weeks, though, so we'll give it time. In the meantime, I have been seeing way more police cars around, so hopefully they will catch the person.

WEEKS DOES IT! BREWERS WIN!!!!!! YYYYYEEEESSS!!!!

It's ok, I'm essentially nocturnal anyway ;-) Meanwhile...the winning run moves to 3rd.
