Only a couple of hours to go!

 

"Milwaukee Braves left-hander Doug Davis looks to win his first start in more than a month as he faces the New York Mets in the deciding game of their series at Shea Stadium.

 

Davis will be making his eighth attempt at his 10th win of the season on Thursday, as the southpaw is 0-1 in his last seven starts, despite allowing three earned runs or less in six of those outings."

Another little tidbit . . .

 

"After hitting .379 in July, OF Geoff Jenkins' .283 batting average on the season is his highest since Sept. 2001"

[RoseBowlMtg]

Any pictures of Benson's wife?

[steve267268]

With all due respect to the horse....

 

is there anything better than when Jenkins connects on a shot to right field? It was easy to hate him for hitting .230.. but it's so easy to love what he has been doing lately..

Umm... did I read this wrong or something? He had a .296 batting average in 2003....

[stkmtimo]

Go Doug! I hope he can get his 10th win. I was supposed to go the game today but couldn't go off from work http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Jenkins hit .296 on the season in 2003, so I find this hard to believe.

I'm not really sure what Stacy looks like, let's take bets on whether or not she is as good looking as Anna.

[BuckyTuba]

JOSE OFFERMAN IS STILL PLAYING BASEBALL?

[scoop53714]

I think today is a day where we need to run run run on Piazza. Get on the bags and take off.

[RoseBowlMtg]

I agree it is the game to run on Piazza but who?

 

Brady?

Weeks Yes

O-no

Lee- yes

Jenks- ?

Branyan- ?

Moeller- No

JJ- He hasn't yet but yes!

[Ralph Wiggum]

Today is that day that Brady Clark starts running the bases like he doesn't have cement boots on.

Can we qualify this with "and not to run into outs at third base on ground balls to the left side".

[markwitx]

I was eating at the outfield seating at tgif during batting practice and i over heard doug davis saying that he is no longer with his wife.

[rwa12]

he can leave the cement boots on, Piazza still won't get him. Not sure he could throw John Kruk out, and I'm talking the out of shape BBTN Kruk, not the out of shape playing days Kruk

A friend of mine saw her at the Wirth Park pool in Brookfield and said she was really hot. Of course, this guy has low standards, but still....

Brewers 3rd in the nl in homeruns

[JenksFan5]

Off topic, but had to chime in on the thread before the game gets in full swing.

 

Doug Davis' wife is quite a little package herself. Probably one of the better looking Brewer wives. Blond hair and hot. Doug is a lucky guy.
