Official Silver Lining Thread

[BrewCrewRising]

The Crew is averaging 11 hits a game in each of their last two games.

The Cardinals and Cubs lost again.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Fike85]

There is no way that the Brewers are going to play .333 ball for the rest of the season. Then again, it is certainly possible. I think that the lesson here is that I wish I was not a sports fan.

Brian seems to get funnier and funnier the more the Brewers lose.

EDIT: not on this thread, but other threads. 11 hits per game average, that is to funny.

[wibadgers23]

Yovani Gallardo now has 110 K's and only 28 walks in 77.2 innings with a 2.90 ERA.

[iluvlamp]

Braun should be well rested tomorrow. That's good.

[trwi7]

The Brewers have kept Wise away from salad tongs for two whole months!

[ccbrew]

Despite the Brewers' struggles this past month or so, the quality of play during the game still beats the quality of any commercial that airs on FSN during the game, hands down:

 

- Tailgating Tips with Jerry Garcia

- "Why do they race? They race for taste!"

- (Cue music) "Moving on up to the East Side.."

- (Cue music and walking yellow lego-man) Cold filtered four times...

[thablingster]

The Brewers were simply trying not to incur the wrath of animal protection organizations by making sure every ball they hit found a glove, as to not put all of those birds who call the Tigers ballpark home in danger. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I am proud of our humanitarian ways.

I think Russ' comment from the IGT bears repeating here:

 

The Crew can have two teams tied for second, get no hit and STILL not lose ground in the standings. Team of destiny, I tell ya!

 

Wednesday's another day.

[Thurston Fluff]

At least it took a flock of seaguls along with the 100 MPH fastball and great curve to no hit them. If you need an 80's one hit wonder band to throw a no-no does it really count?

[trwi7]

Hall has gone 5 straight plate appearances without recording an out.

[Ennder]

Hall up to a .762 OPS

[rluzinski]

6-6 in the last 12 games? Woo hoo!

[Brian the Automator]

A .762 OPS puts Billy Hall as the 4th best CF in the NL. Funny how things quickly change.

[AJAY]

Good defense by Braun too !!

[Fear The Chorizo]

It's great to see that this team can put together a well pitched game with its bullpen in an emergency situation (although most of the credit goes to Villy - he was as good as you could expect last night).

 

In seasons' past I remember some of those games when a starter was scratched, or left early with an injury - Brewers long relievers were not good (sorry 'bout that, Matt Kinney)

- (Cue music) "Moving on up to the East Side.."

 

Thanks, ccbrew. This has now been in my head for almost 24 hours.

 

Though it is less bad than the dancing lego guy music.

[homer]

Corey Hart has an .858 OPS. Yee haw, Huck!

[Ennder]

Not to mention I believe we are 8-7 in our last 15 games now.

[nullbyte]

I think winning a series against a very good team -- even after being no-hit -- definitely qualifies as a silver lining. Maybe even gold lining!

[foamboy1]

Two on the road against the Tigers after being no-hit to open the series.....this could be the turning point.

[BraunsBoyfriend]

The hardest part of the year is done!

 

We don't play a team with a winning record until we face Arizona at home after All Star break.

 

Almost all the hard teams come to our home the rest of the year.

 

Things are looooooookin' up!

[iluvlamp]

Bill Hall gave us 2 of these wins. Nice to see you're back Billy.
