Tip of the cap to wibadgers23 for your selection of Chris Young photo. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Come on, Brewers. Please make the game as much of a positive as the Corey Hart bobblehead that will be given out.

[ELCABALLO45]

Haha Sweet pic indeed.

 

That was after Derrek Lee swung like a girl and missed.

 

It would be nice to see the Brewers offense, like.. you know.. Score runs?

[thablingster]

I realized yesterday the Brewers are undefeated on Bobblehead days this year.

 

Run the streak to 6-0!

[razzzorsharp]

Chris Young has been scuffling it seems, keep it rolling.

[Invader3K]

I will be at the game today (section 214). Looking forward to seeing Parra continue the streak of great Brewers pitching performances and finishing off the lowly Padres.

[Mike Felder]

Cameron is out of the lineup again, per TH's blog.

 

I'll be in 406, hoping for another W. Let's go Manny!

[wisconsinfan47]

Since last Sunday we have scored 2, 5, 2, 2, 3, and 1 run for an average of 2.5 runs a game (including a few extra inning games). Last year that's a 6 game losing streak...just shows how great our starting pitching has been since June.

 

Go Brewers!

[trwi7]

Great inning by Manny!

[steve267268]

I like that Ned went with the regular lineup today instead of putting in backups or callups.

 

I know the callups have potential but this team has the talent right NOW and they have worked hard all year to be in this position. Ned's going for the kill and taking 3 of 4 from ANY team, home or road, is obviously a good thing. But taking 3 of 4 after losing the first game is even better.

 

Cubs losing early 1-0, Tom Brady is injured, and Brett threw a bomb to Cotchery for the TD. Good day so far.

[JET15]

Good day so far.

Man, I second that. Crew's gonna win, Cubs are gonna lose, cool Fall temps and breezes. Got #4 on the POP with a whole new NFL season coming and the Crew is going to the post season. Life is good.

 

Cheers!

[trwi7]

The defense has really sucked lately.

[JET15]

DP please

[bucks2281]

Manny really needs a break.

[trwi7]

Ugh. Our defense is abysmal.

[JET15]

The defense has really sucked lately.

i second that UGH

[davego]

Nice Billy...

[Mr QL]

Why is Hall still playing seriously?

 

I'd rather Gamel play every day. His defense can't be any worse and he can actually hit.

[ELCABALLO45]

This got ugly really fast.

[trwi7]

Gotta love this line for Parra.

[Ennder]

We could DFA Bill Hall and it wouldnt' upset me one bit though he still has some value in a platoon role only facing lefties.

[wibadgers23]

Might as well throw Gamel out there if Hall is gonna play defense like that. With the way our offense has been going lately, this game is likely over.

[BrewCrewForever]

I swear Hardy is the only decent infielder we have.

[wisconsinfan47]

Don't forget it all started with Manny giving Chris Young a meat pitch
