8/18 Brewers-Astros Open Thread.

I doubt we have enough readers (threeish?) to make this much of an open thread, but if you're watching the game and you find yourself reading this here rag, leave a "Go Brewers" in the comments. The lineup tonight is:

2B Ray Durham
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
CF Mike Cameron
C Jason Kendall
LHP CC Sabathia

With Weeks injured, we have Durham playing out of his platoon spot against the left-handed, Brewer-killing Randy Wolf. But we also have CC on the mound so I feel alright about this one. His left-handedness should slow down Lance Burkman, and his awesomeness should slow down everyone else. Closer Solomon Torres should be available after what the club has called "stiffness in his groin." If that lasts more than 24 hours, be sure to call your doctor.

I wasn't even done writing the post when Corey Hart put us up 1-0 with a double after Braun walked and Prince's belly got hit by a pitch.

Who where's a Favre Jets jersey to a Brewer game?

Meanwhile, Walsh and May are crushing Brazil in bikini volleyball. U.S.A... U.S.A...

Astros walk the bases loaded for the pitcher. But the pitcher is CC Sabathia. Nice. Brewers 3, Astros 0.

Corey Hart clouts a dinger in the 7th. Brewers 8-Astros 2.

Hey there. Lonely open thread, eh. Man Bill Hall really does suck.

Nice widget on the right, by the way.

DannyNoonan said...

Yeah, it's okay, but I can't get it to show the NL as the default so you always have to click over.

PaulNoonan said...

I blame the Yankees.

PaulNoonan said...

Even Jason Kendall is hitting tonight. By the way, just as an FYI, Browns QB Derek Anderson suffered a concussion tonight, not sure how bad it is. For fantasy purposes.

It looks like Cecil Cooper's prediction of a sweep may have been a little ambitious.

PaulNoonan said...

He's such an idiot. I mean, after Carlos Lee went down they were pretty much finished. They have the worst farm system and no future, and their owner and GM don't realize it. They will shortly be the Detroit Lions of MLB.

DannyNoonan said...

God damn it Durham. Can't we turn a frickin double-play?

PaulNoonan said...

We are the worst DP teak in baseball.

DannyNoonan said...

Teak? Nevermind, I agree. When other teams fuck up double plays, they get one out.

No matter, we still won.
