6/5/07 Cubs (Lilly) @ Brewers (Vargas): 7:05 PM CDT

[sgtcluels]

Winning would be lubes! Lets go Crew! I'll be watching from home tonight in all it's SD Glory.

[rluzinski]

Wouldn't it be logical that your BA would be consistent with or without runners on base? The reality is that it's not that simple, but I would guess that's his logic.

 

The reality is that it's pretty darn close, on average. Look it up yourself. The world at our fingertips!

"If the Brewers win 7 of their next 8, people will be coming out of the woodwork, saying how they never stopped believing and that this team just 'knows how to win'."

 

And they'd be justified in doing so. I assume that's just a snide observation, rather than a suggestion that the die-hards who've been posting on this site since its inception would rather continue to rack up losing seasons than have to deal with 'bandwagon' fans posting here. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

As an aside, if the Brewers win 7 of their next 8, I'll streak down Water Street. I'd be pretty happy just splitting the next two against the Cubs right now.

So...working in Illinois is not cool when the Cubs beat the Brewers and everyone knows you are an avid Brewer fan and dispise the Cubs. I had two Cubs hats sitting on my desk when I got to work today. Real cool

 

Brewers, please win.

 

That is all.

[crewcrazy]

This may not be justified, but I think if Alfonso Soriano leads the game off by getting on base, I may cry. Sadly, I'd be surprised if CV the Elder gets Soriano out to start the game. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

That is when you just throw them in the trash just like all the other crap that you could get on your desk.

Hope you drank plenty of coffee, sounds like you had your work cut out for you, snipping a deuce in each. Well worth the effort, though.

[IslandsAC]

just wait mike, tomorrow and thursday mornings you get your revenge.

 

you should just put up a big poster of the NL central standings on your wall. anyone comes in to try and show you up - just point at it.

"I had two Cubs hats sitting on my desk when I got to work today."

 

Anyone leaving a Cubs hat on my desk will need to fish it out of the toilet to get it back....and wash the tremendous poop out of it. I should probably have a couple of Enchiladas tonight to prepare for tomorrow....

[MoneyballMan]

That's great. 0-2 and then give up a double to Soriano.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

its safe to say soriano is in a groove

[MoneyballMan]

Boy, it would be nice to get out of this now. Shut these fans up a little bit.

[crewcrazy]

Claudio makes me angry sometimes. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif

[homer]

Lord, Soriano is hitting .600 in June with a 1.800 OPS.

[tyguy20204]

Watching Claudio pitch is like ____________.

 

a. watching paint dry

b. going to the dentist

c. waiting in line at the dmv

d. vomiting up rotten milk

[MoneyballMan]

Man, with Vargas on the mound, we may be here until 11 tonight!!

[MoneyballMan]

e. All of the above

[crewcrazy]

Psst...Claudio...I don't think Soriano's going to try to steal third. Estrada's not behind the plate.

[MoneyballMan]

Does it seem like Lee has been at bat for about 15 minutes?

[MoneyballMan]

Nice....worth the wait, I guess.

[MoneyballMan]

No harm, no foul. Ok, let's keep the LOB to a minimum tonight guys!!

[MillerParkSouth]

yikes that was a painful, yet glorious, top of the 1st!
