4/23/08 Phillies (Hamels) at Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

I talked with Tony on Friday. He said his injury is pretty much gone and feels great. He was pretty pumped to get back to playing baseball -- even in the minors.

[JET15]

> Turnbow in the 9th.

 

But at least he starts at the bottom of the order

[TooLiveBrew]

"Uh oh"

 

My exact words on seeing TBow. I laughed, then got too nervous to laugh.

[Glennron]

Who says Gwynn can't draw walks? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Kendall, we could sure use some insurance here please. I'd like if Turnbow had more than a 1 run lead...

Turnbow warming up in the pen...

 

 

This was going to be a "give-up" game tonight. about 6 bullpen guys weren't going to be used regardless and if tonight ended up 15-3, so be it, it's only one loss and Bush is likely out of the rotation anyway. However, Prince had other ideas, that and Bush was credible tonight, not great but gave them a chance.

Yost did give them a shot to stay in it by taking out Bush after that first batter. Many wanted him to leave Bush in there to finish regardless.

man ive missed that home run stroke from the big fella, that a beaufiful sight or what?

[JET15]

Kendalls cooling down

[twobrewers]

Why do I have the feeling Turnbow is going to be in line for the Win.

[tristarscoop]

Someone out there with Photoshop needs to get a little Prince in powder blue or in some bell bottoms action going. Between his mini-fro and the mutton chops, Prince looks like he should be starring in Saturday Night Fever.

[iluvlamp]

I have no hope. If they win? Yay. If they lose? Of course.

[JrDave2304]

hahaha. i hope those of you watching caught Prince mouthing...

 

"no meat....no meat"

[mastershake76]

we are seriously going to go with turnbow? *holding breath*

[trwi7]

I'd rather use one of our other bullpen guys (Riske or Torres perhaps) and the absolutely not use them for a couple days.

[Glennron]

Well Derrick you have Bruntlett-Pinch hitter-Werth and then Dobbs before you get to the big boys. PLEASE throw strikes to these guys before Utley/Howard/Burrell mash your face in.

[HurricaneBraun]

Damn, looks like the Rockies are gonna give the lead right back to the Cubs

[twobrewers]

Cubs are about to take the lead back.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

omg turnbow...let the drama begin

[trwi7]

T.J. Bohn is in for Burrell.

[iluvlamp]

This will end well not maybe.....

[tristarscoop]

I cannot handle this at all!

[GoudaBrew]

Hopefully Kapler will somehow keep up his torrent pace against Hamles tonight. Hamels is one of my favorite non-Brewers but it'd be nice to see him get rocked tonight. Unfortuantely I can see him getting double digit K's in 7 innings or something similar to that.

I could see both happening. I see a scenario where we get 4-5 runs off him and he still manages to K the crap out of us. Though it might be hard for him to make it through 7 with both of those happening.

 

Man I love it when I'm right

 

[twobrewers]

Ball 1

 

I'm calling it.

[SeriesFinale]

Jumpin Jehosophat I hate 9th innings this year

[bullox]

hahaha. i hope those of you watching caught Prince mouthing...
