6/14/07 Brewers (Sheets) @ Tigers (Durbin): 12:05 PM CDT

[Klements Bratwurst]

Ouch, that hurt, but it was a good win.

 

I don't feel to bad, the Tigers sure can hit.

 

Great series win. I remember last year they came in here and roughed us up 2 out of 3 and we knew we had a long way to go to play at that level the Tigers were playing at.

 

Hopefully we have closed the gap.

 

Now for the Cubs to lose and the Cards too!

CoCo's career started with the Tigers. Perhaps he has problems pitching against old teams? I hope thats the case, cause we dont play anymore of them.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

wow..we won a series against the tigers after getting no hit...bravo milwaukee

[whynotthebrewers]

This is why we won't pay Coco insane money for next year. Closers are too inconsistent and for the most part its an easy job.

 

I waited to come back to the thread until after the game but this is the best quote. Easy?? Ya, that's why there are so few good ones in the game. This should be in blue if anything because that is just insane to say that. Especially with the batters he was facing in this inning.

 

All that said, some of his 0-2 pitchers were not exactly good but the batters still had to hit them.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Lots of great performances out there today. Potential player of the games...

 

Sheets (just solid)

Estrada: 3 hits and 2 RBIs

Hart: His late dinger was the winning run. 2 hits and 2 rbis

Shouse: big out against Curtis in a jam

Spurling: That 7th inning whodini act was masterful

mikevan's office bathroom: come thru huge today

 

Just a huge team win!

[patrickgpe]

i am happy sheeter actually gets the win on a day when he had stuff that was just good enough and battled his was through 5+.

I agree with that statement except for the "its an easy job". It is far from easy with all the pressure on those guys. Ecspecially for instance what happend to Cordero today. He had to get an out with a guy at third or its a tie game. That aint easy.

[RobDeer45]

Huge Win!

[mikevan1818]

I went 4 for 4 today in bathroom trips. I'm pretty happy about that.

[imblotto]

I will take a no-no against the Crew with a series win everytime.

[imblotto]

Seattle takes the lead!

 

Sorry, that was awhile ago.

[BrewCrewForever]

This win and series win sure feels great.

[Lil Dummy]

Mikevan, nice Vargas-esque performance today.

[SeriesFinale]

I went to the bathroom before the bottom of the 9th (won't pee my pants for the Brewers just yet) and so I may have reverse-jinxed you mikevan, my apologies

[Lil Dummy]

God bless Sheets. If they keep giving him decent run support, he could have 10 wins by the end of the month.

[SeriesFinale]

Meanwhile the Cubs threaten in the 8th

 

Sure would like to gain a game on them and St. Louis today but I'm just happy to get out of Detroit without losing any ground

[CMoore22]

Man, Uek nearly killed me a few times.

 

Well, Uek via CoCo, that is.

[jloos19]

Cubs just took the lead 5-4 in the 8th on an Izturis 2 run single. Lame.

[SeriesFinale]

I had a Cubs fan friend idiotically tell me today that "the Brewers don't have three horses like Lee, Ramirez and Pie" (usually he's a lot smarter than that) so I've really got it out for them today.

 

Hopefully Dumpster can cough this one back up.

[Lil Dummy]

Sheets with his 1,000th K today. Sorry if that was mentioned on a previous page, but another reason to salute Benny.

Whoa! What are the odds of that?

[davemakovec]

That guy Morrow for the Mariners is terrible - he walks two backup second basemen (DeRosa and Fontenot) on a combined nine pitches and then after a sacrifice gives up a hit to Cesar Izturis, backup shortstop.

 

If that's not a pathetic pitching performance, I don't know what is.

[SeriesFinale]

Yeah, I couldn't believe that, either, Dave

[SeriesFinale]

Well, with Weaver starting and three lousy hits, it's amazing Seattle made a game out of it to begin with.

 

Go Royals.

[davemakovec]

Oh, yeah - Brewers win!

 

I would like to remind you all that, at the beginning of the series, I took the fact that we were facing a very good and red-hot team in their own ballpark and predicted a series win.

 

I doubted after the Verlander game, worrying about a sweep, but then my hopes returned after last night's game.

 

Isn't it nice to play teams that are on a roll? It really seems that we get a lot of slumping teams, and I hate to see that because it seems like the Brewers are the official slump-busters of major league baseball this year.
