Games on HD tonight again..

 

Figures, I have soccer tonight.

 

Go Sheeters!

[tomwopat]

Seriously, Glendon Rusch has me trembling in my booties.

There is an in-game contest tonight....Winner gets Sweet Tickets for Sunday's Sabathia Start.

Aww, poor Glendon. I remember his season opening dinger and 14th-inning game-winning bunt.

Good times...albeit perhaps the only good times he had as a Brewer.

 

Let's go Brewers! I place my 12-5 record (in games attended) on the line tonight, for you.

[T B0NE 10]

Lets not let Glendon pull a Figeuroa on us....

 

Nice pictures by the way

 

I'll be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline!

[jason21nl]

I was at the game where he had the game winning bunt. If I remember correctly it was against the Astros

[phxMILWfan]

It smells like big foot's.... anyway, GO CREW!

[Fear The Chorizo]

With Glendon pitching tonight, part of me sees Brewer batters mimicking HR derby contestants when they motion to their chosen pitcher that the last pitch they watched lazily go by was just right and to keep throwing it there. I'm hoping they at least make Rusch throw them strikes before spinning themselves into the ground swinging for the fences. If they do that, it should mean a W.

[Menotti80]

bold statement: the brewers should win this game.

[patrickgpe]

i thought reynolds went to aaa on friday and rusch took his place.

[wibadgers23]

Why am I worried about this game? Oh yeah, because the Brewers are facing a really bad pitcher.

[Oldcity]

Outstanding photos Ray King.

 

This has to be the most lopsided pitching match-up the Brewers have had all season. Ben's hasn't been great his last few starts though. Hopefully he gets back on track.

[SeriesFinale]

With all the excitement of CC's first start last night, it's almost mind-blowing to me that we get Sheets on the mound tonight

[TeeJayh1980]

So do we have the same worthless umpire behind home plate tonight?

I don't know why we're bothering to play this game tonight.

 

Chris Singleton says the Cubs are going to run away with the Central because they got Rich Harden. I'm not sure how he's going to help them do that when his arm falls off in two months, but that's what the dude said.

Meh...who cares? The Brewers don't have to catch the Cubs, they only have to catch the Cards and stay ahead of whatever NL East team that finishes in second place. Let the Cubs run away with their division title again, as long as the Brewers make it in as a wild card. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I bet really bad starting pitchers still beat the Brewers about 40% of the time, which is about what you would expect.

[dlk9s]

This Rockies lineup still scares me. They've been hot and if Sheets does have a weakness, it's that he tends to give up the long ball. I won't be comfortable unless we have an 8-1 lead going into the 9th.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

How about bad pitchers vs. Sheets? 30%?

[Fear The Chorizo]

Mulder leaves the game after getting one out and then throwing 8 straight balls - injured

So much for that "we don't need to make a trade because Mulder and Carpenter are coming back" talk coming out of St. Louis, huh?

Looks like Ben's got it going on early. Two strikeouts before Anderson can even tell us who's playing defense.

[rluzinski]

Wow, 97 MPH for Sheets in the 1st! Think he's pumped? He needs to settle down.
