[Unofficial] Pirates @ Astros

Brewers losing 2-0 already.

 

2-1 now, JJ Hardy solo homer with 2 outs and 2 strikes

 

a philly sweep of the brew crew would be perfect.

 

I'd prefer 3-1 Phillies

 

I wouldn't be upset with that.......but it's all subjective to the Astros maintaining dominance.

 

Problem with the Phillies sweeping is that we'd have to win all 4 games (whenever they'r played) in order just to stay level with them. Also, if they seep they would then be FULL of confidence and could be described as RED HOT. I'd prefer it if they won 3-1. Gives us a little margin of error and gives us a good chance to be within 3 or 4 games before we destroy the cannon fodder coming up on our schedule

 

if the phillies sweep, the brew crew would have to realize they are in a complete tailspin, and they're season is on the brink of a complete choke. thus erasing them from the race.

the phillies would then go on to face ATL FLA ATL. which I think Philly could easily go 4-5, 5-4ish.

again.......this is all subjective to the Astros winning every game.

 

4-1 phils.

 

I am wondering if Sheets is looking to get out of Milwaukee ASAP after CC has taken away his "best Brewers pitcher" status.

CC Oswalt... i mean Roy Oswalt with the RBI hit

 

looks like another win....

 

lol perfect.... I had no idea Milwaukee and Philly were beating up on each other... at the end of the day we will either be 3 back of Mil, or alone at second...

 

i think we'd all prefer being 3 back of Mil.. 2nd does nothing unless you're gaining on 1st
