Hopefully someone that has the time and skills to make a real IGT can because we can't keep going with the knock-offs I have been putting uphttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif. Let's GO FISHIN' CREW!!

[crewcrazy]

A lot of power in that Marlins lineup, even if they've been struggling lately. Hopefully Manny can keep it in the park tonight.

 

I can edit the graphics into your original post, Gorman.

[GormanHarvey]

That would be great and much appreciated! Thanks crewcrazy!!

[crewcrazy]

Hard finding a picture of Koronka in a Marlins uniform -- he's making his first start since 2007 as a replacement for Anibal Sanchez. He used to be with the Rangers, so this is also his first start in the National League if I'm not mistaken. Kendall is the only Brewer with any previous ABs against him.

 

Hopefully the Brewers can figure him out and hit him hard early...I guess with this lineup it's better to face an unknown lefty than an unknown righty.

[hawing]

How long do you think before Big Wes makes a PH appearance? (rhetorical question, no need to actually answer)

[GormanHarvey]

Wow, I sure can make a perty IGT!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[crewcrazy]

Castro's advice for Parra, apparently: "Throw strikes!" That's why pitching coaches make the big bucks. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Hopefully he'll be helped a bit by Florida's tendency to strike out.

[ELCABALLO45]

That is not a good start

[GormanHarvey]

Manny does not appear to be fooling anyone so far...

[crewcrazy]

It'd be great if Manny could get his WHIP to start heading towards 1 instead of 2.

 

Bonifacio is quickly getting close to being added to my Least Favorite Players list.

[ELCABALLO45]

I have a question, how many options does Manny have left?

[Brewcrewin07]

I have less faith in Manny then any other pitcher in the starting rotation, and that includes Suppan. It's sad, but Manny just doesn't have the mental makeup to be in the majors right now.

Bill said he may be throwing too many strikes, I wonder if that's what Castro told him when he went to the mound? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

Usually the choice between studying for finals and watching the Brewers would be an easy decision, but I'm about another unanswered Marlins run or two from actually going back to reading about the intricacies of American Foreign Policy.

 

Edit: Ueck on TV in the 4th? I'll at least stick around for that... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[brewdude15]

How 'bout some runs, now?

[ELCABALLO45]

PRINCE!!

 

2-2 v. the Lefty.

[crewcrazy]

With Manny settling down and some runs on the board, I'm starting to feel a bit more optimistic now. Hopefully Manny doesn't go out and give up another run now.

The Legal Environment of Business is going to have to wait now that we've gained some ground back. My grades hate the Brewers...

I'm actively trying to calculate how much I'll have to study to do well enough on my final to maintain my grade.

 

Bummer that Kendall couldn't tie it up, but hopefully the long lay-off hasn't messed with Manny's groove that he was starting to find.

[razzzorsharp]

Hooray instant offense! We got a brand new game!

[thablingster]

Koronka just got rickrolled. Love it.

[razzzorsharp]

Wow, that's awesome, nice job. Or it could be the opposite of awesome if a robot took over your body and is typing...

[hawing]

Nice, Robin. Real nice. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

You probably weren't quite close enough for the second one, which was hit while I composed this post!

[razzzorsharp]

Prince rakes lefties? Wow, a 5 run rebuttal against this team.
