    Where are the rest of the Brew Crew followers on this board? Do you guys realize how important today and tomorrow are? With 4 winnable series left (Pirates, Padres, Reds, Pirates), and 4 toughies (Mets, Phils, Cubs, Cubs) I'm guessing we go about .500 down the stretch which puts us at between 88-94 wins (hopefully the Cubs lay down in the last series b/c they hate the Cardinals more). If we can take at least 1 of these games that will make it tough for the Cardinals don't you think?

    I'm here for you, but last time I jumped on the bandwagon, the Crew went into a tailspin. I'll root quietly. :D

    Why not? I think we have a winning record against all of our future opponents, besides the Cubs, what will stop them from getting there? I'm not suggesting that they definitely will, but you seem to be pretty sure they won't and I'm wondering what your reasoning is? I mean the Cubs never lose games, but have only gained one on the Brewers since the 4 game sweep.

    He has no reasoning. He's just trying to cover-up his century-worth of angst. Brewers are 3.5 games up in the Wild Card and can create an even bigger lead with this next series against the Cards. And with the Mets-Phils playing each other, one of those guys have to lose as well. And as well as the Cubs have played, they only gained 1 game since the sweep 3 weeks ago. And a 5 game lead with over a month to play, including 6 head-to-head game, is not safe.
    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share, his key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere.

    C'mon boys six more outs and we go up 4 1/2 in the Wild Card and keep pace with the Cubs who might never lose again.

    Starting pitching for the Crew the last 2 days 16 IP 1 ER...sure it's against the Padres but still we are winning. Has anyone else read about our "Mexican Pedro" throwing 50 pitches to live batters, and that he's about to go to a rehab assignment with Russell Branyan? How much happier would you be with him coming out of the 'pen in the 8th compared to any other jokester we've been sending out there right now? Finally, is it not kind of unbelievable that no matter how well the Cubs play we have not lost any ground on them since the 4 game debacle? C'mon Crew!

    Nice win tonight, now we gotta get Bush to figure it out against Harden tomorrow. We need that game so we can keep the Cubs from clinching till the Mets series...if at all possible. Can anyone else believe that ESPN failed to mention that the Brewers have a certain ace in the hole returning (maybe even Friday depending on Sheets) during the broadcast? I mean what the F do we have to lose by starting Gallardo at this point? Even if he goes 4-5 strong and hands it over to 'pen thats willing to go all out it's better than nothing. Either way had to know the way that the weird Sheets/Gallardo dynamic works that one would be injured while the other got healthy. That would have been a sick threesome.

    We got our ace back!!! And no I'm not talking about C.C. or Sheets, looks like our little guy is going sometime this week. Hopefully we make it meaningful...he did work hard to get here after that cheap slide but that stupid cub Theriot.
