[ELCABALLO45]

Lets go back to being Cy Bush instead of Bad Bush.

 

Please suprise me offense.

[RobDeer 45]

We got to get our you know what together here. The Cubs are slipping and we need to take advantage of that.

[BrewerTerp]

All on the offense here.

[jhart05]

Cool!

 

Got some nice seats thru work, via M&I Bank tonight.

 

Sec 122, Row 5.

 

Right behind the Reds dugout.

 

 

GO CREW!!!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

C'mon Crew...with the Packers playing tonight...pretend its a road game!!!

 

Note to Bill Hall...it is a road game, your ticket to Cincinnati is waiting at the airport.

[sargennm]

In honor of the other Monday night game: Just win baby!

[Mr QL]

Don't suck Bush.

 

I don't even want to see Billy, Gagne, or Riske even get off the bench today.

[sgtcluels]

I'll be there in Work seats. Hopefully 1st inning goes better then last time I saw bush.

[pitchleague]

boy, we can completely eliminate two more teams from the WC with a win tonight.

 

Let's git 'er done!

[Oldcity]

The Brewers have been taking poor at-bats for awhile now, and Volquez isn't exactly a guy I'm happy to see anyway. Not a great feeling about this one, but I suppose the offense has to have a good game sometime.

[crewcrazy]

Let's guarantee a winning season tonight, and keep the hopes for a 101-win season alive. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[hawing]

I agree that it doesn't look favorable on paper, but look back to August 5 and the Brewers (behind Dave Bush) did all right vs. Volquez.

 

Play the game well, guys. Eyes on the prize. OK, eyes on the ball first. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[trwi7]

Dear Brewers,

 

Please don't make me delete you from my DVR before even watching. I would really appreciate it.

[sheetswannabe]

Dear Braun,

 

Hit em hard today... Other players will catch on.

[davego]

Billy...you be Billy and remember they are the Reds!

[dlk9s]

Let's guarantee a winning season tonight

Already done, baby. Already done.

[BrewCrewForever]

Please get numerous hits and runs.

[GormanHarvey]

This is unrelated as far as the game goes, but does anyone know which is supposed to have better clairty for HD: 720P or 1080i?

 

As for the game, please Dave just give up less than 1 run in the 1st and we should be all right

[bucks2281]

Let's just win 10-2. We need one of those ... a big win would be a stress reduction.
