    Too many on Milwaukee today????
    It seems like everyone is on the BrewCrew today....SI is reporting nearly 8 out of every 10 bets are on MIL. Little bit concerned here with this team losing 5 of 6 and the public piling up on a road favorite against a team that has been playing real well the past week.

    To top it off, just looked over the lineup card and Old Man Manual has his regulars in today but Yost is sitting Ricky Weeks and Bill Hall today on getaway day...two bats with some power. Tony Gwyn Jr. and Gabe Gross are starting. 4 of the 9 players starting today for MIL have batting averges of less than .225

    We really need a strong start from Ben Sheets today.....I can see a very low scoring type game today. Plus nobody on MIL has seen Garcia so a small advantage there.

        sportsinsight (www.sportsinsights.com) gives you a rough estimate based on a random sample from 6 or 7 books...some problems with their methodolgoy but overall it should be trusted. Wagerline will give you consensus figures based on what individuals think...very unscientific and not reliable at all and should be avoided.

            You speak too soon Senator. Theres a lot of game left to be played here. Also, we all thought sweet Lou was a genius today too until his pen imploded.

              The guy hit two home runs already.

              Regardless of what happens the rest of the game, it was a good move...

                    Time for the BrewCrew to blow this bitch open....Sheets is pitching fantastic. Let's get 8 from Sheets and 1 from Cordero and get this day off right.

                        They are blowing way too many chances here.....they've had Garcia on the ropes all day and haven't got a big hit. There has to be someone better in the Brewer's Triple A club other than Graffanino...we need Sheets to keep it going here.

                            You gotta like your chances though if your a Phillies backer today. I mean the Brewers are giving them every chance to win this game it seems like.

                                Probably pretty good right about now, because I could see that happening double B. I doubt Sheets will go the distance today, so thats not a good sign for the Brew crew backers.

                                  Let's hope he is on in the 8th...he is dealing today. This is his best outing by far since opening day. Please do not bring Turnblow in the 8th inning....

                                            Looks like they left Sheets in there for the 8th double B.

                                              Sheets is a great pitcher when he is on....too bad injuries have plagued his career otherwise this guy might be 18-20 wins year type of guy. This guy is the real deal.

                                                  congrats Brewer backers...it is never easy. I am done for the day. I'll take 2-0 any day of the week. Man this game was not easy....Brewers were very fortunate they blew so many chances.
