WEFFPIM's Tidbits
-Look for Ned Yost to sit J.J. Hardy in this one. Hardy is 7 for his last 13 with 4 home runs and 8 RBIs, Yost doesn't want him to think too highly of himself and will bench him to send him hurtling back to reality.
-Roy Oswalt has started the season on fire, so look for the Brewers to take advantage of that by dousing Oswalt with gasoline and hitting him with a blow torch to see if he can continue his season on fire.
-Security will make a catastrophic mistake when they lead Dave Bush to nearby Helfaer Field after mistaking him for a local 14-year-old looking for an autograph from starting pitcher Dave Bush.
-In a stunning turn of events, the Italian Sausage will get jealous of the popularity of the Chorizo and eat him.
-Causing mass confusion, Phil Garner will be replaced by Hiro Nakamura from the hit television show Heroes, just "for ****'s sake."

Good Luck, Dave...and Go Brewers

Roy Oswalt has done amazing so far. I still think Brewers win this one though.

This one lies simply on Dave Bush's shoulders. He cannot give up runs like he has against a pitcher like Oswalt. Gotta keep a goose egg on the board.

This one had me laughing the hardest.

What a catch by Hall. Defintly has the potential to play CF but hes gotta make the routine ones

I bet Schroeder is creaming himself on how Hall went to the opposite field with that homerun.

Man, did I call this outing or what?

Dave Bush has been DOMINANT today as I said he needed to be! I'm loving this season so far.

There is still no reason for us to lose this game. We are still up 4-2. If we lose its just horrible.

THROW STRIKES. Get Turnbow up in the pen just in case this keeps up.

Base hit probably gives them the lead. F***

Ned get off you but and get Turnbow in there.. OMG. He should at least be warming up.

its going to be a horrible feeling in the club house if we end up losing this one after dominating ALL DAY.

Did you see that.. OMG that was wicked.

I was never worried.

whew...

Whew I was worried there for a second. Good game for 8 innings. Bad 9th inning. But at least we won.

Never worried. Yeah right. If you werent worried than you arent a Brewer fan. Bases loaded. 1 out. You should have been worried if you wanted us to win.
