[crewcrazy]

I only have two requests tonight -- please start hitting before the 8th inning, and please don't get embarrassed on national television. Let's get a win before going home and kicking more Cardinal butt. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[bacon06]

This is a must win game.

 

But seriously, avoiding a sweep would be swell.

[hawing]

I'll echo crewcrazy: fine, apparently there was some cosmic reason why you had to suck the last two games, but please, not on ESPN.

Perfectly said. This would be a bad time for Bush to have a bad outing. He has been so good this year that I'm scared at some point he is going to have a meltdown. Although I think Bush is becoming the type of pitcher who doesn't have meltdown's. He is just so solid.

Lineup courtesy of the JS Blog:

 

SS Craig Counsell

2B Casey McGehee

LF Ryan Braun

1B Prince Fielder

CF Mike Cameron

RF Corey Hart

DH Mat Gamel

C Mike Rivera

3B Bill Hall

 

I guess Hall hitting 9th shows how little faith we have in him to hit RHP right now. Hopefully Bush can put together a strong outing and we can get some runs off of Baker. It would be nice to not be swept and embarrassed on national TV.

[BrewCrewForever]

I love Kendall's defense, but it's nice to see Rivera in there. Hopefully he keep hitting like he has. Yesterday McGehee, Braun and Fielder all had 2 hits a piece. Hopefully they do that again but the guys after them drive em in.

[nate82]

Cameron and Hart need to start heating up otherwise this is going to be a long offensive drought.

[TeeJayh1980]

Please do not suck. I'm having the neighborhood boys over for a campfire and bringing the HDTV outdoors for Beer, Brewers & Bonfire night.

[razzzorsharp]

Sounds good TeeJay, I may do the same.

 

Cubs and Cards both lost for those of you scoring at home.

That is 7 straight losses for the Cubs now but they play the slump killers on Monday though.

[tdeggie]

echoing other posters ... please do not get embarrassed on national tv and then carry the momentum over to the series against the cards

[PrinceEatMeat]

I don't understand why Macha doesn't just play Gamel at 3b due to Hall's struggles, and give Gerut a shot at DH. Gamel will likely be getting at least a few starts at 3b against the Cards, and it would be nice to give him a shot in the field before that series starts.

Why sacrifice the defense even more? Gamel is fine at DH especially at the Metrodome which is nothing like Miller Park. Plus Gerut in the DH role makes me wanna throw up. If Hardy's back was feeling better I would put him in the DH slot or if we still had Nelson I would throw him in the DH spot and then have Gamel play 3B but not Gerut playing DH.

[BrewCrewForever]

Gerut as a DH would be bad, but not nearly as bad as when Gwynn was our DH in Boston last season. That was brutal.

[logan82]

"Joe Morgan has the weekend off"

 

Hooray, there is a god.

[BrewCrewForever]

No Morgan is more then okay with me. I love the calls by Jon Miller. Phillips and Hershiser are at least okay.

[thablingster]

Not a great start there. Hopefully Bush can keep the Twins red-hot bats quiet.

[thablingster]

Okay, Bush has the old Bush first inning homer out of the way. Time to settle down for 7 innings. haha.

[Mr QL]

it sure would be cool to get some runs

[davego]

Ive had enough of the Twins. I will shake my fist in joy when the Dome comes down.

[bucks2281]

That dome is an embarassment to the state of Minnesota. What a crappy baseball facility.

[Mr QL]

i seriously hate this place

[rluzinski]

Bush recording 4 of his first 5 outs via the DP? Didn't see that coming.

[wibadgers23]

We just look like a team that is tired and needs a day off. Like others have said, I hate playing in this craphole.
