BEAT THE PIRATES!!!

[GormanHarvey]

Whaaaat?! Woogie is back? Yes! Just what we needed for the stretch run!

[BrewCrewForever]

Woogies back! Awesome, all those pretty graphics for the stretch run.

[patrickgpe]

woogie is back and its only 1 game, i like our chances!

[razzzorsharp]

So you come crawling back....

[ELCABALLO45]

Woogie!!!

 

Lets please take care of the Pirates.. please...

[Oldcity]

Woogie is back! The Mets have no chance.

[Glennron]

It seems like Bush has had some stellar starts against Pittsburgh this year, hopefully that'll continue and the offense (sans Prince) wakes up!

[jjgott]

Woogie! Welcome Back! The Pirates Are In For A Whoopin'

[Blancofan1]

Last time Woogie started an IGT--6/30

Brewers record the next 6 games after--4-2

Will that get it done during the next 6 games? I could certainly see the Mets going 3-3 forcing a playoff/playin game.

[Yeti73]

This will hopefully be a fun series for the Crew. I'd like to see Braunie get rest today so he can be well rested for the next 5 games. Doubt that'll happen, but maybe cortizone will do.

[wisconsinfan47]

I'd like to see Hart get the day off. 2 consecutive days off the field could really help him, even if it means putting Slappy out in right for a game.

 

Alright, Big Boy time, let's go!

[hawing]

Let's post a 1-0 record for tonight, Brewers. That is your goal.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow...Woogie is back. We're bringing in the heavy artillery for this one!!!

 

Welcome back and GO BREWERS!!!

[GormanHarvey]

I ran out before work this morning and stocked up on Miller product and seeds, as I am sure it is going to be a nerve-wracking week - hopefully in a positive way!

[jjfanec]

Lets hope the day off was good for Braun, Hart, and Cameron, and that it didn't cool Prince off. Every game from here on out is huge but winning the first game of a series that you really need to go at least 2-1 in is really important. Lets jump to an early lead have a game like Sunday.

[GormanHarvey]

Man, it sure would be nice to have Ray tonight. Anyone heard anything about him or how Gallardo's evaluation went yesterday? Also, what's the word on Branyan? Last I heard, he was wearing out whatever rag arms he was facing down in AZ

[wOOgiE22]

Yeah I just decided to come back for the stretch run... just kidding. Hopefully a hot streak is in order after a disappointing September. Get em' tonight Bushy!

[bucks2281]

According to Baseball Propectus, the Pittsburgh Pirates are currently the worst team in Major League Baseball.

 

So let's not screw this up.

[PeteP]

Cameron is still hitting lead-off. Durham is back in at 2nd. Otherwise the same as usual for Sveum.

 

CF Mike Cameron

2B Ray Durham

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

SS J.J. Hardy

RF Corey Hart

3B Craig Counsell

C Jason Kendall

RHP Dave Bush

 

No word on pitchers for Wed/Thur yet. Tom Haudricourt suggests maybe CC and Yovani, maybe not in that order though.

[GormanHarvey]

Good to see that Ray is ready to go. Hopefully he doesn't reinjure it. GO CREW!

[fondybrewfan]

Has Mike Rivera been sequestered for the OJ Simpson trial or what?

 

Would it kill Svuem to let the guy earn his money every once in a while. Kendall isn't Geovany Soto for cripes sake.

 

How many times will Cameron K tonight? The guy is in a major funk

I agree about Rivera. The amount of games Kendall has played is nothing short of ridiculous, but he caught both ends of the DH in Philly so I wasn't at all expecting him to be out today after a day off. I think (and hope) that the day off did wonders for Cam. He may still strikeout tonight, but I think he will look better.

The Return of 3TO

 

Russell Branyan along with Yovani Gallardo activated from the DL.

 

It's gonna be a good night.
