8/3/07 Phillies (Kendrick) @ Brewers (Gallardo) - 7:05pm CT

[And That]

Filthy sliders by CoCo tonight.

If we win this, we're in first all by ourselves, but we don't have a magic number. Think about it.

 

Crazy.

[BrewCrewForever]

That slider is sick today.

[SoCalBrewfan]

One of the teams in this game has 11 Ks and the other has 2. Of course you know which one's Milwaukee...

[And That]

Smoke and sliders, baby. Smoke and sliders.

[brettac1]

Smoke.

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice job Francisco. So that is what a win feels like? I almost forgot.

[Rob]

where is that on the road??????

[phatmatt1215]

Dominating pitching by Coco...... If only we could play 162 games at home, he would be unstoppable.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

welcome back to first place

[BrewCrewForever]

Gallardo was great tonight. I know were facing Hamels tomorrow, but lets keep this going. And hit a little more tomorrow.

[rluzinski]

A full game lead sure sounds nice right now http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[BrewCrewForever]

Take that Cubs fans! Whos in first alone again? Thats right, its only 1 game, but its still just us.

[burniebrewer]

For fun, I was following the game on a Phillies board and they've got one guy over there (lots of posts, lots of negativity, no clue) who was saying Gallardo has two pitches, neither of which are very good and that it's embarrassing that he shut down the Phils tonight.

 

Whatever.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif

Great Win, hope the Brewers can keep it up and get on a roll.

[rluzinski]

I think it's obvious that the Brewers won tonight because Coco was inspired by the dispute last night. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

The Brewers won because Yo is awesome. The prospect of Sheets and Yo at the top of the rotation next year is really exciting.

[timothyw80]

I can't wait to see next years rotation with Sheets & Gallardo at the top of it...

[sdcheezhd]

Sure we have a magic number. It's 53. Every team has a magic number until they get eliminated. The D Rays' is 80.

[SlideBernieSlide]

I enjoyed watching that game tremendously. Both Yo and the Kendrick kid were a joy to watch. I don't know much about Kyle Kendrick, but for a kid who skipped Triple A, you gotta like the way he commands the strike zone, mixes speeds and hits his spots. The kid doesn't throw hard, so he knows keeping folks off-balance is the key.

 

What else can you say about Yo? He's a stud. Its like whenever I know Sheets is on the mound. I try to clear whatever I have going on just to make sure I can catch his starts.

[brettac1]

It's so nice to not have to worry about that silly Wild Card anymore.

[uecker9]

Bill Hall is really, really struggling right now. Although, is there really any Brewer batter that would be considered "hot" right now?

Braun still has been quite good. Hart and Fielder have been luke warm.

 

 

 

I'd put Estrada in there (11-22)vs. Hart (5-26) the last few games as far as being hot.

 

[thablingster]

This was a big, big win to get tonight. Facing Hamels tomorrow, it is nice to get the series off to a good start.

Yo was unbelievable against a pretty good lineup. I couldn't figure out why Werth was batting leadoff, but whatever. Yo seemed to have control problems with his curveball early, but quickly fixed it. He sat down 14 in a row at one point, and also hit 95 on the gun. Shouse, Turnbow, and Cordero were also very impressive. Now if only that would translate into road games...

I'll buy 53 for the Brewers. The Cubs have a magic number too (55). The DRays don't have a magic number, only an elimination number. If you can win all your games and still be eliminated, you don't have a magic number.
