These aren't the Brewers of Bud Selig.  They'll be decent for the next few years (Until they eventually lose Ben Sheets to a money team).

That said, the Phils plain blew the first game themselves.

Yesterday, they were shut out by Tomo Okha.  :boom
Last year didnt they sign him 4 years/40 million?

I think that you may be right.  I remember something about that, now that I am thinking about it.

I actually root a bit for the Brewers, being a small-market club that's been down for awhile.  This season it looks like they may have turned a bit of a corner, and have some good young players coming up.  I think that in the long run the Scott Posednik-for-Carlos Lee will be a steal for them.

The Phils moved from 4th to 3rd without playing.  Florida got swept in a makeup DH at Colorado...  :-D

So..what's this Tejada character about? How has he been doing? I see he's 2-2....I'm heading to the game tonite...just wondering.

Both teams are sucky and are 6 games out.  ::)

Yeah, but how far out of a WC spot is LA?

It's Division or bust...it's the way it should be. Too many things to be wishing for when worrying about the Wild Card. 6 games isn't alot..but farg, when you can't take advantage of opportunities...that's when it hurts the most.

Burrell 3-run bomb + 441-ft shot by Howard =   :evil

How'd you enjoy Burrell and Howard's moon shots? :-D

I believe I have to go poo right now.  I'll be back.

2 outs, 2 strikes and Schmoll, Mr. Nobody...decides to chuck it up for Burrell...I guess he was pissed at us at the left field pavilion for the shtein talking.

That shot by howard was monstrous. You know it was gone once it left the bat. That was sick.

I'm so glad depofargsta didn't pick anyone up to help our bullpen. farg...penny was throwing a good game too. That Tejeda guy didn't do bad....he got himself out of some jams and fanned Kent 3 times.

We'll have a second go at it tonite. We'll see what happens.

Tejeda is frustrating to watch.  He'll walk leadoff hitters on 4 pitches and get himself into bases loaded jams, then he'll strike everyone out...  :boom

That Howard shot was awesome.  Into the blue seats in right-center.  That was the first HR he pulled all year...  :evil

As opposed to any of our other pitchers who walk leadoff hitterson 4 pitches and get himself into bases loaded jams, only to give up 3 straight doubles?

BigEd76

Yeah, but we already know those guys suck.  Tejeda would be dominating if it wasn't for those walks, and that's been his problem throughout the minors, too...

PhillyPhreak54

Yep, Tejeda would be a stud if he didn't give up so many free passes. He needs to harness that control.

Brett Myers will toss a shut out tonight.
