I have a good feeling Wolf will have another strong game.

[ilovebeer]

I also have a good feeling that Corey will hit his first homerun of the season.

[Menotti80]

please get over this "1 game over .500" hump!

[ilovebeer]

St Louis won today, no we need to win to stay close to them.

[ilovebeer]

With Corey in the lineup, there is not a black hole in it anymore.

[Schlitz001]

The Brewers are #1 in MLB with 5 shutouts and #8 with starters ERA of 3.67. They are #2 in the NL with a team OPS of .775. They are playing below their Pythag W-L and Zach Greinke is starting on Wednesday. I'm feeling optomistic today.

[Funketown]

I'd rather see Betancourt in the 2-hole than Gomez. There I said it.

 

Lucroy also would look quite a bit better in the 2-hole.

 

Oh well, life goes on. Overall that's still a pretty good 1-6.

[UeckerAddict]

Not sure if you have a misprint at first or if that is making fun of Carlos Lee's start at the plate by calling him Cliff Lee.

[ilovebeer]

The beat goes on for Braun.

[1992casey]

George and Barbara are at the game, right behind the right-handed batter's box.

[ilovebeer]

Braun just missed a homerun by inches.

[ilovebeer]

From What i have heard Mr. and Mrs BUSH are at a lot of Astro games

[Schlitz001]

Hey, Casey MeGehee, someone is trying to steal third base.

[milwaukeesportsfan]

What was McGehee doing there?

[trwi7]

Hey McGehee, somebody stole third base and learn to throw.

[trwi7]

Craig, that wasn't a "high fly ball", line drives aren't "high fly balls."

[endaround]

Pop ups in Houston reach the warning track

[Invader3K]

I'm in the chat if anyone wants to join me.

So much for Roenicke's word that he will be pairing Lucroy with Wolf this year. Not coincidently, the last few starts Wolf's been paired with Nieves.

It's pretty frustrating that your best catcher and one of the better hitters on the team has to sit the bench because he "can't" catch Wolf

[endaround]

It doesn't matter. Don't know why people make a big deal of it. Lucroy wouldn't go both today and tomorrow anyway.

Wolf is just a first class jerk who gets easily rattled on the mound and uses his stupid gestures and calls time every 5 minutes to make it seem like its the catcher's fault when he gets shelled. How can every other pitcher on our team work well with Lucroy but him?

Roenicke doesn't have the stones to man-up and live up to his word. He's cowering to our #4 pitcher's demands.

The best catcher on just about every team is going to sit on the bench 1 out of every 5 games. It doesn't look like the brewers will be any different.

[jason21nl]

I realize that, I just think its frustrating that Wolf can't or doesn't want to pitch to him.
