We have to win this game. I repeat, we HAVE to win this game. We can not lose 3 in a row to the Phillies for god sakes. Turnbow needs to sit in his corner and loaf for a couple days. Don't even think about putting him in when it's a close game right now. Yost is going to be fired up to win this game after he and that manager had the longest yelling fest that I've ever seen. Please Brewers, make me happy and win. GO BREWERS!



Smash the phillies like big foot!

wonderful, i repeat, wonderful cole hamels pic

He's a lefty so Gwynn will sit. Too bad, I'd like to see him in against a lefty AND bat leadoff.

Would like to win the next two, a 3-4 road trip is fine by me, but have to beat a tough lefty. And give Turnbow a rest, he was on tonight, just one bad pitch, but you can't hit his confidence with a bat.

True that , I have been saying Gwynn should start everyday for a long time.

Hell play him at center move billy back to third do what you got to do to get this guy in the line up everyday

Thanks a lot RBCV my start got moved up because you couldn't make a game thread in time and I'm saddled with the loss because of it.

anyone else think soup looks like collin ferrel? farrel? whoever

I make a bet some years with a Phillies fan who will finish with a better record, the Brewers or the Phillies.

This year the bet is a little more high stakes. If the Brewers do, I get to move into my friends' place for the week (3 story nice house) while he lives in my one room batchelor pad, and his wife will cook for me, and I get to throw a party at his place...

If I lose though, I am homeless in DC for one week with only 20 dollars...

The Brewers are up six games, but damnit we need a win. I need a win..I don't want to have to beg for food...

Jollay????

Should be a great pitching match up tonite

We really need to get these last two games to make this a respectable road trip. Hamels has been pretty dominant and it is looking like our best chances at victory were Monday and Tuesday. Suppan needs to be our ace and come up with a big stop to end this losing streak.

Also, drop Weeks to 7th or 8th for about a week.

I don't like the concept of a "must-win" in May, but for confidence purposes I think this is as close as it gets to a must-win.

with all the media attention the brewers have been getting i can see it as good to under-perform so that we stay under the radar, but i think it is important to not seem to 'wilt under the pressure' and really become an elite team

If this is a must win, and the Brewers lose, is the season over?

Seriously people

B4L, you are the Elmer Dessens of our game thread rotation.

Rain, rain, and more rain.

Anyways, here is an interesting snippit from Adam McCalvy, Brewers Beat Writer for MLB.com:

Two questions: Is the relationship with Jose Capellan too far gone that he is not an option to be called back up? And what's wrong with using Turnbow in the seventh inning with two outs? I know they would like him in the eighth inning, but if there's a fire burning in the seventh, it seems like a good place to use him, especially when Matt Wise isn't available.
-- Scott F., Green Bay

If the relationship with Capellan was so strained that the Brewers would not consider promoting him, they would have traded him already. I predicted that he will be back by the end of May, and I'm sticking to that.

The Turnbow question was a good one. Look back at his day-by-day logs throughout his Brewers tenure, and you'll see that he is way more effective in single-inning stints. But Yost did say during the last homestand that he would use Turnbow in the seventh if the situation called for it. We just have not seen it happen yet.
