Captain Erv's Thoughts: Well, I was hoping I wouldn't be doing another game thread for awhile, but alas I must. We really, really, really, really need to win this game to semi-salvage this roadtrip. An 8 game lead in the division has been cut to 4.5 and we really need to get it going again. Lets hope the Brew Crew feels our frustrations on this board and takes them out on Mr. Garcia!

If Sheets wants to be an Ace he HAS to have a great game.

I agree. He really needs to step it up today and I think he will. Freddy Garcia is not that good so I think we should win this one. But who knows.

how about this lineup today:

RF: Tony Gwynn Jr.
SS: JJ Hardy
1B: Prince Fielder
CF: Bill Hall
2B: Rickie Weeks
C: Johnny Estrada
LF: Geoff Jenkins
3B: Craig Counsell

I really want to see if we can have TGJ and Weeks in at the same time what would happen. I think that Rickie would feel so much better batting farther down right now.

In the near future I hope the lineup is as follows:

CF Tony Gwynn
SS JJ Hardy
2B Rickie Weeks
1B Prince Fielder
LF Bill Hall
3B Ryan Braun
C Johnny Estrada
RF Corey Hart

That's exactly the lineup I've wanted...with the exception of swapping Weeks and Hardy. And for the sake of this year I'd put Jenkins 6th with Braun 8th.

Maybe next year.

We need a good outing from the whole team. It's not all on sheets our Offense has to produce more than just home run balls we really got to click together on the offensive side of the ball. Sheets could give up 1 run and if he doesnt get any support we will lose. So the whole team has to step up today not just sheets.

Well this lineup is dog **** today.
We got Gross, Counsell, AND Graffanino playing.

it is ****...gwynn gets on whats counsell gonna do, but him over? i see at least one double play with those two today. plus why would you want jj to hit with two outs and no one on, or have prince leadoff an inning. blah

hr burrell, 1-0

gross goes deep tie game!

mets down 5-2 bases loaded one out bottom of the ninth

now 5-3
and now its 5-4, still one out

game over! cubs blow a 4 run ninth inning lead

sheets with his 3rd K.....mid to high 90's fastball too
