I can't fathom a scenario where they lose more than one game in this series

Brewers are actually favored tonight.. They are -110 and Giants are even money.
Needless to say, I put a few bucks on the Giants. Parlayed it with the under, 8.5

Offense seemed to come out of its cocoon Sunday.
OK, I am guessing this is a series long thread. If that is the case, what constitutes a successful thread? 2 of 3? If they lose 2 of 3 but get screwed on a call or something of that nature, do we label one a moral victory? Tough questions that need answers!
Go Crew!

Why the hell is Weaks still batting clean up? RR has to be almost the dumbest manager in baseball.
All I care about is 
didn't start the game thread
Oh what do we have here? 9-3? Yeah

I had such high hopes of cruising past the bullpen tonight
Nice work by Mike right there, considering blue wasn't giving him anything.
I'm so conditioned for the pen go hemorrhage runs, but there is a lot of game left.

Whoops.. Just missed the under.
not sure how liquid your funds are, but could you bet against the Crew more often?
Can't believe that 2 out hit stayed in the park.
This pen is giving me heartburn.
Yuni B is Mr clutch lately !!

Axford and Henderson gave up some long outs. Not a group I have confidence in.
In some respects Henderson pitches similar to Axford. He has a good slider, but he really telegraphs the heater and that's really his only pitch he seems to be able to control consistently.
Major league hitters can hit a 96 MPH fastball especially if they sit back and wait because you can't throw other pitches consistently for strikes.

Although it's not technically a thread starter um..........
Lohse money through 3.
Lohse so far looks like an excellent pickup for the Crew
gonna say it again, I luv watchin Gomez play ball ...
Go GOGO ..
Go GOGO ..
the only mojo worse than having Yuni B. on your team is intentionally walking Yuni B.

Well, this method is 2-0 so far...but I could see you wanting to mess with the streak to stay in character.
Note fellow posters, unless the lineup is out by 9:30 AM CST I won't be able to post it so we need a little extra mojo today (and not just a Yuni hot streak) for the boys to beat Cain.
You're right they are 2-0 so don't jinx it
Getting a sweep today would be a nice recovery from the awful start to the season

Sorry to repost this link, but it is Lalli's first game winning hit. I have to.

Gotta little chuckle on that also.
Yuni scares the h?ll out of people ... ON both teams
Gotta hand it to YB though, he always looks like he is having fun and glad to be a part of that. I think that is why I like Gomez so much.

...and maybe the only stroke of luck this club has had so far. Yuni is streaky and he was thrust into the lineup during one of the hot ones.
Ok- so now they have proven they're capable.a pretty good opportunity this weekend to even the record. Credit to Roenicke in keeping them positive and pulling them through a rough patch.
Hitting is contagious BOTH ways. Braun got that big fly Sunday at St.Louis and, after they remembered how to high five again in the dugout,they all started to relax. Getting help from Gomez at 7 and Yuni at 8 makes a world of difference.
