With the resent terrible attandance last night and vs. San Diego I expect there will probably be only 25,000 there tonight. Maybe people gave up on the season when Sheets got hurt. Maybe they should take a quick glance at the Brewers record.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Anyway I do not remember Pettitte ever pitching this well in a Yanks uni. Especially seeing as he getting hit pretty hard back in May. Here is the lineup I would like to see:

 

Brady cf

Cirillo 3b

Jenkins rf

Lee lf

Hardy ss

Helms 1b

Weeks 2b

Miller C

[ELCABALLO45]

Clark

Hardy

Overbay

Lee

Jenkins

Hall

Weeks

Miller

Ohka

Why does Phil Garner find it necessary to put a not so good hitter in the 3 slot. Yesterday it was Jose Vizaino, now today Luke Scott? I'm not complaining about it or anything, I just sort of find it odd.

[BrewCityUnit]

So, after we win tonight, does the serious wild card talk start?

[brewers19]

I hope to god not.

[germanking]

I think it will have to hold out until Sunday to start the WC talk.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

I will not talk about the Wild Card until we sweep the astros. If we do not. I don't see a reason to talk about it at all. Especially if we lose tonite and sunday... But i am jacked for this game tonite and i am skipping the Whitewater Warhawks game to watch some brewers tonite. Don't know if i would have done that last year...

Go brewers... I think we are in for a low scoring game. I think that the brewers will win 2-1

[PeaveyFury]

Have I mentioned lately that our broadcast contract with FSN stinks?

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Even if we sweep the Astros, we'll still probably be about 5 games back. If Philly, Florida, OR Houston only play .500 ball, we will still have to win about 15 of our last 21 to catch up with them. Enough about the wild card already.

[JoeH33]

I look at the Astro lineup and am astounded that they are in the WC lead. Even with Ensberg it still is quite weak, but I guess having 3 ace's on your staff doesnt hurt.

 

EDIT: as far as the wild card talk goes, I dont get why so many people get angry when its brought up. Dont get me wrong I dont think we're going to win it, but whats wrong with having a little fun and dreaming.

[markwitx]

The game is on tv here in Houston and the first shot at the crowd, and it's not a very big crowd tonight. probley around 22,000

[markwitx]

Not a good start. leadoff hit and his guy can run.

I guess not everybody has fun being totally delusional.

[markwitx]

ahh 1-0

Oh come on, we're Brewer fans there's nothing wrong with still having hope, even if its very unlikely we'll win it. I think its pretty bad if one is at a Brewers fan site and gets put down for still having some hope in their team.

[markwitx]

Wow, what a great job in getting out of that mess with only giving up 1 run.

[markwitx]

Philly has taken a early 1-0 lead of Florida

[DevilDog1775]

well put JoeH33. I know I spent about 30 minutes this morning studying the wild card standings and remaining schedules.....

 

The dream is what keeps me coming back year after year....

[JoeH33]

Not exactly the start I was hoping for. Pettitte is an "ace," we should be able to put up like 8 runs on him.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[ja002h]

Come on Rickie.

[markwitx]

Rickie, please work on your fielding during the off season.

[RightFieldCoder]

grrr, bad hitter hitting 3rd and he drives in the first run? Not a fun start.

 

Let's hang some on Pettitte in the middle innings.
