I'd support the Brewers in the NL if they brought back thier old uni's and stopped distancing themself from beer. Enough of the damn barley I want the mug.
JJ Hardy with HR #12. Brewers lead 4-2 in the 5th inning in Philadelphia!

They wear those uniforms every Friday night at home in a "retro-Friday" themed promotion. And yes I do own one of the old school hats:

No, I saw the game on TV tonight and I've got things going on all day tomorrow. I'm actually in Menomonee Falls and where are you?
I'll be there in early June for the Cubs...I believe Johnny Walker will be there as well.
Alright this losing has to stop. I'm going out of my fucking mind losing 3-1 to the Twins tonight!

exactly the reason why i picked him up, hammy was in a slump and my other guys were doing so good and jenkins has a good avg, lots of dingers and rbi's
i honestly couldnt believe he was available in all my leagues

I guess I can feel ok tonight. They really took care of Tomko & it's damned nice to have Rickie bad healthy.
I'm starting to think that Gwynn is gonna be their opening day leadoff hitter at the beginning of 2008.

I never realized he was supposed to be that good, I thought he was going to be a platoon player for a while. Ugh, hopefully Suppan can make it through 7, single and home by kent. 8-3. Looks like they moved bill hall down to 7 huh. Wonder if that's just a one day thing.

I think Gwynn was a 2nd round pick...but I always thought he'd be a platoon guy or a 4th outfielder. But he's fast as hell & has a great command of the strike zone.
I would guess Suppan would grind out another inning. He's a veteran...he knows the job.

From Today's Journal Sentinel:
For the first time this season, Milwaukee Brewers centerfielder Bill Hall batted in a spot other than cleanup Monday night. But don't expect that to be a trend. In fact, according to manager Ned Yost, it was probably a one-time maneuver.
From my email & the Brewers:
The Milwaukee Brewers today purchased the contract of 3B Ryan
Braun from Triple-A Nashville. He will wear uniform #8 and will
be making his Major League debut. He is expected to join the
team tomorrow in San Diego.
Braun was named 2006 Brewers Minor League Player of the Year
as he batted .289 with 22 HR, 77 RBI and 26 stolen bases in 118
games between Class-A Brevard County and Double-A Huntsville
last season. Following the season, he played for the Scottsdale
Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League, where he was named to the
All-Prospect Team, batting .326 with 6 HR, 25 RBI and 4 stolen
bases in 25 games.
He batted .342 with 10 HR, 22 RBI and 4 stolen bases in 33 games
for Nashville this season.

Oh boy we are in a shit storm. Cappy has a pretty good game and we still couldn't pull it out. I'm gone for a week and we get swept by the padres. Not to mention we haven't won a series since they swept the nats. Hopefully sheets can get it together tomorrow. It's really odd they have braun at 3. Seems like too much responsibility for any rookie no matter how good.

Our Brewers have been playing like shit for the last two weeks. The irony is so far it hasn't really mattered in the Central.
It hasn't really been the pitching that has been the problem...but rather a stagnant offense. I'm guessing that has a large part to do with Ned putting Braun in the 3-hole today. Plus look at the slumps in the balance of the order: Hall? Jenkins? Mench?
It's gotta get better.

i hate tbs for not showing this game. I'll have to check it out later. 19 hits between them and only 6 runs, pretty crazy.
4-3 lead in the 6th, 1 out, runners on the corners and Prince up.
Smoltz got removed from the game after he re-aggrevated the pinky finger injury.
Turnbow looks great in the 8th, hitting 98 mph on the gun a couple of times.
5-4 lead after Atlanta's half of the eighth.

The lead is up to 5.5 games now with the Pirates overtaking the Cubs for second place.

I just got back to check it out. So that's where obermueller went. Yeah prince is nuts with 4 straight with a hr. Fla took apart the cubs so i was little scared with this one. We have favorable pitching matchups every game so hopefully we can win a series. I got my tickets for the june 6th game off of ebay. Forgot it was a day game oh well. Can't wait.
Rickie Weeks to the DL & Melvin recalls Jose Cappellan (http://www.jsonline.com/watch/?watch=2&date=5/31/2007&id=24327)! I didn't know if Cappellan would ever see the light of day again.
Chris Capuano hits a Homerun!
Brewers up 1-0 after 5 innings.
A nice 3-0 win today for the Crew.
Bring on the Cubs and let's keep it going.

Are you going tomorrow? I despise how many cubs fans are there. I cannot believe we still can't get a better ratio. No prob I guess we just have to show them up. It had to be wild with cordero. Him and turnbow can hit some wild numbers on the radar gun. Both hit 99 and cordero had like an 89 mph offspeed pitch. Crazy. It's going to be a good one tomorrow, suppan and zambrano.

I was watching that, 4 straight singles is madness. Then last night he blew another. I think it was the 6th inning where the Brew had 12 hits and 2 runs and ended the game with like 22 hits and 9 runs. Oh well can't complain they added to their lead.
Does it get any weirder? Last game against Texas the Crew got 22 hits. Tonight against Verlander, 0 hits.

It sounded like most of the hits in the ninth were cheapies....but at this point I'm extremely pleased to get 2 of 3. I hope they can do the same in Minnesota this weekend.

Same here, he pitched a pretty good game until he gave up a single homer and then got charged for a run off another homer in the 7th. Cordero had to make it fun once again. Other than that you can't ask for anything more from the brewers. Won the last two series on the road against two damn good teams and off to a great start with this one.

It's so hard to watch the sox look as pathetic as they've been this month. It's lovely watching that bullpen blow leads wide open and it doesn't help when the o scores 1 run a game. Not like I care that much, but man have they fallen hard.

Went to the game last night, it was great!!! Sheets was great and pitched out of some jams. Hardy and fielder both knocked one out. I am a firm believer in Braun now. Wow is he impressive. Tonight they go with a nice 9 run inning. Man, your right on with the cubs though soriano is unstoppable right now and they are finally catching some breaks.

Yeah, I was pretty taken aback by that. He's not a big guy, but he's solid and he has this wicked fast bat swing that he can just snap the balls off of.
This weekend's pitching matchups:
Friday:
Yovani Gallardo (1-0, 2.70 ERA) vs. Rich Hill (5-5, 3.13 ERA)
Saturday:
Ben Sheets (9-3, 3.09 ERA) vs. Sean Marshall (4-2, 2.44 ERA)
Sunday:
TBD --likely Dave Bush (6-6, 5.06 ERA) vs. Jason Marquis (5-4, 3.46 ERA)
Not to sound like a homer...but I like our odds...especially not facing Zambrano.

Not really. I was really nervous going into today since Marquis was having trouble even getting to 6 innings, but he went 7 full and then Marmol had the last 2. Lou did a good job of spacing out who he have and still resting about half the pen each day. They were close to getting taxed, but I think they squeaked by. They've been worked harder earlier in the year and made it out of that. With Lilly and Zambrano pitching next, the bullpen will likely only have to pitch 4 innings or less over the next 2 games.

That too. It's a plus that the Cubs are playing the Brewers and Nats before the break...on the downside, so are the Brewers. I really only see the Cubs gaining a single game on the Brewers between now and the ASG, if that.
Alright....get that Cub talk out of here!
Let's talk about the fact that the Crew got 4 players on the All-Star team...including Prince starting at first base. Outstanding.

I'm not sure who made it off of that 1982 team, but seriously they were loaded. Cecil Cooper was the man at first base. Pete Vuckovich was an CY Young type pitcher as was Rollie Fingers out of the pen. Also Ted Simmons, Ben Oglivie, Mike Caldwell & Don Sutton weren't too bad either.

That's fine. I'm happy we are done with the goddamned Pirates (the Crew always struggles in PNC) and are off to Washington.
Good luck Cubbies...we left that lineup hot and the pitching confident!
A good night for the Crew. Got a needed win 6-2 over the Nationals, Bush pitches well, Braun hits 2 HRs and Cordero gets a little work.
Plus the Pirates beat the Cubs, so the lead is back to 5.5 games in the Central!

ben sheets with a sprained middle finger on his pitching hand
hopefully its nothing serious
2-1 win in 10 innings tonight. Honestly this was one of those games that remind you of why I love this team. Sheets goes down with a sprained finger, the team is down 1-0 and getting no-hit.
Needless to say Gallardo picks up the pen...and the offense grinds out 2 runs for the win. Definitely a character game.
I gotta bump my first place Brewers.
Plus today we dealt for some bullpen help with San Diego with Scott Linebrink coming to the Crew. They had to give up some prospects, but what a great bullpen arm.

I think the Brewers' fortune will change drastically once Sheets gets back and if he can stay healthy. Of course, the Cubs will get a boost when Soriano gets back, too.

Jacque Jones looked even more lost than he usually does against lefties. His at bat was particularly embarrassing.
Of course I enjoyed tonight's game as the Crew wins 6-1 to make up for last night's shit. Mostly it was good to see Ben Sheets back and looking good. Hopefully he can help stabilize the rotation down the stretch....
I don't know what to make of this NL Central.
The Cubs are such a schizophrenic team, it's hard to predict where they're going. Strong start aside, the Brewers have looked horrendous for an extended period of time and haven't really played anything like a playoff team lately. And just when I thought the Cardinals were going to ride their momentum all the way through, they've stumbled a little bit lately.
It's tough to figure out...I'd say the Brewers have the most talented team on paper. But they haven't really shown it (excluding tonight).
Maybe getting Sheets back makes everything fall in line.

The casual Brewer fans hate Yost and have for awhile. Diehard fans like Ned alot. It's a big issue on AM Sports talk radio. Luckily the casual fans now have Packer football to pay attention to.
Ned did point out that Jenkins' career numbers vs. Dempster weren't really that great...hence he stuck with Mench.

Agreed. Mulder is back tomorrow. He may not be great but it means Kip Wells can rot in the bullpen instead of handing over every game he starts after 2 innings. Plus, their bullpen is strong. Something like 57-0 if they are ahead after 7 innings.
No one has been able to pull away yet so i'm expecting this thing to come down to the last few days before it is finally settled. And then whoever wins this miserable race politely bows out in the first round of the playoffs.
