[hawing]

We were supposed to attend this game, until my work schedule got all cruddy. So I'm boldly predicting that something will happen Friday night which will make me wish we'd been able to go.

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on Bush, stay hot kid.

[razzzorsharp]

I'll take that 7/20 line from Duke.

[bullox]

I'll take that 7/20 line from Duke.

I'll take anything but the 8/5 and 7/1 lines. He's been awful recently.

[Invader3K]

This will be my first chance to see an FSN game in HD tonight (Charter). Let's go Crew and beat up on the Pirates!

[2008 world champs]

Gotta win these games. I'll take Bush's last line against them too.

[jeffh]

Let's go Brewers!

[tosabrewfan]

Heard that Gorzelanny was rejoining the team from AAA tonight. Maybe the Pirates will trade one crappy LH for another. Let's just hope that Snell didn't lend them his iPhone with video of CC.

[Klements Bratwurst]

Will Bill Hall remember that he is supposed to hit lefties well? I don't know how many 0-4's with 4k's I can take with him lately.

I've actually liked Gorzelanny for a while now. Would love to see the Brewers pick him up...he could make a nice #5 starter next year.

[thablingster]

This will be a big weekend for us to keep pace with the Cubs and Cardinals, as both are playing teams who have already packed up for the summer.

 

Lucky for us we've handled Duke fairly well in his career as he has an ERA of just under 5 against us.

[GormanHarvey]

Think we will see Braun back in there tonight?

 

Prediction - the cubs will lose today against Lannan

[jwill535]

I will be enjoying the game from the Doormans seats tonight. So hopefully I will improve my 0-0 record for attended games this year.

Nice seats! Ok, I know who the Doorman is, but how did he get that nickname and get his notoriety? I was pretty surprised how bad he was at the Brewers trivia questions they gave him at Summerfest.

He's known for showing opposing batters the "door" after they strike out. There is actually a video about him on youtube from a news broadcast Channel 12 did last year. He has had those seats since the second year Miller Park was open, so he's pretty notorious by now.

Gotchya! Thanks for the info. If he's had those seats for that long, then he definitely should have known that Prince is younger than Rickie, JJ, and Corey

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Doorman is to the Brewers what Jack Nicholson is to the Lakers!!!

 

Hey jwill...I will be timing your reaction to the Brewers homers tonight. The Doorman has a full second on the rest of his section...we expect you to be on your game!!!

[jwill535]

I am a pretty calm fan, I just like to sit back and enjoy the game. So "The Doorman" is in no fear of losing his seats for something that I do.

[pitchleague]

Most fans that are actually watching the game and paying close attention to the details (Doorman does it, I do it, many others do it) will always jump up at the crack of the bat on good solid hits like homers. Most of the rest of the section probably missed the swing and that's why they're a second (or more) late. The Doorman and other fans like him are not monkeying around with other stuff. He's watching the game intently.

It would appear that Haudricort left someone out - presumably Cameron in CF.

 

GRAND SLAM Willie Harris!!!

Glad to see Braun back. Hopefully he is feeling a bit better.

If only Witrado did this I would have responded by saying something like:

 

"He probably didn't know you are allowed a CF"

 

Bummer.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

No doubt pitch...he's just got the seat that I can see out here in LA. I know its a big hit when the Doorman gets up!!!

 

I hope you get a good workout tonight...I'll be watching!!! Have a great time.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Dear Ned

 

Please reverse Cam & Hall in the batting order.

 

Love, SoCal Brew Crew Fan
