The Brewers are playing the same line-up as yesterday. Let's hope the result is different.
CF Mike Cameron
2B Ray Durham
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
SS JJ Hardy
RF Corey Hart
3B Craig Counsell
C Jason Kendall
P Ben Sheets
The pitching match up is Ben Sheets (13-8, 2.97 ERA, 45 BB/155 SO) against Jason Marquis (10-8, 4.36 ERA, 60 BB/84 SO). This is a big chance for us to end this losing streak. I'll be at my kickball game for the first hour or so, so I hope you guys will be on your best behavior until I get back.
Go Brewers!
Other important games tonight include Phillies (Happ 0-0, 5.71ERA) vs. Braves (Jurrjens 13-9, 3.62 ERA), Mets (Knights 0-0 6.43 ERA) vs. Nats (Martis (0-2 2.70 ERA), and Houston (Backe 9-12, 5.440 vs. Marlins (Nolasco 14-7, 3.56 ERA). Go Braves, Nats and Marlins!

I propose a lineup change. Flip Sheets (.333 career ba vs Marquis) with Cameron (.310 obp vs rhers). Everything else is awesome, Dale. U da man.
Hi, this is Dave, is this the new place?
Dunno if I'd do that; the Sheets sample is small and an outlier.
Mets and Phils both up early. D'oh!
Let's hope the road lead trend extends to the Crew.
Wind's blowing in, so that'll keep the homers down.
That single sure sounded like a HR from Bob's call. I wonder how much of the Cameron leading off thing is an attempt to emulate the Cubs and Soriano, another high slugging low-OBP leadoff man.
It's Sveum-see, Sveum-do; the FSN crew said that the sluggers are all concentrated up top at the express order of Sveum.
There is actually some logic to that move. Since we're a low OBP club anyway, you may as well generate more opportunities for HRs. If you're going to go that route, however, you may as well go with:
Prince
Braun
Cameron
Hardy
Hart
Durham
Hall or whoever
Kendall or Whoever.
Nice clearing by Fielder.
Hello bats, welcome back.
Solo shots don't quite get the job done. I'd probably put it Hart, Braun, Fielder if bashing is the primary goal.
I had Fielder at the top for that very reason. He's the best at getting on on the team (for regulars anyway).
I'm a bit of a hybrid; I still need a bit of speed.
Just alcohol for me.
D'oh. Stupid Armram. At least it was a solo shot.
what time zone is this place set on?
TV folks say there is movement in the pen.
DiFelice.
fuck
Sheets head to the club house
Did he just say "Mark Difelice heads to the mound"? Fuck the heck?
I don't know why, but we appear to be in the Pacific time zone. Huh.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
It appears to be an elbow.
FUCK!
fuck the heck is right. Rock "DeFelice had a pretty good year in AAA."
oh man, Chris is laughing his ass off right now
"Right Forearm Tightness"? Too much wanking.
uh oh
Stranded! nice
next frame
Can't expect much more from DiFelice.
Very nice.
If only the wind weren't blowing in,....
can we take a few pitches please?
This is the Brewers; they hack on 0-0.
word verification sucks
JJ hit it too hard!? Shut up Rock
Hey, where did Ben Sheets go?
He did hit it too hard. I'll take off WV for the open thread.
what's the over under on brewer pitchers tonight?
Right forearm tightness after 2, Danny.
If we could be reasonably-certain we would make the post-season without Sheets, I'd say shut him down so he's fresh for the playoffs.
Graci, Paul.
i don't know how that's possible or how you even control for that
Should be off.
Fix the time zone while you're at it Paul.
Yes, thank Paul
On it...
anybody know how to make the comment window bigger?
tough DP attempt. at least we got the lead guy.
Don't think that's possible, at least with IE. It may be possible with Firefox; let me check.
And at least we didn't throw it in a dugout. It looked good, just a tough play.
We can add that haloscan if everybody wants. Lets have a vote.
Danny: present.
Yep; possible with Firefox.
Coffey made it through, and both the Mets and the Phillies are up late.
Packers Lions replay is on NFL network
I'm not a haloscan fan either, so I'll vote blogger, but it's not a strong vote. I can be swayed.
Doesn't matter whether you switch to HaloScan to me.
Personally, if any of you are familiar with Cover It Live, that's probably the way to go. Absolutely no refreshing required for fresh comments, and a few neat tricks (including multicasting the liveblog across multiple blogs).
Ah. Chrome is much better.
2000 quatloos on six Brewer pitchers tonight
I'll go with 7. Have to get the situational lefty.
Kendall grabs 2 bases. Nice!
Nice way for Marquis to not pay attention.
I'm glad marquis is out. I strongly feared a DP pitch.
can we take a damn pitch please?
Nelson was running, but Cameron yanked it foul.
Can Nelson's fat ass run? I'm surprised they aren't pinch running for him. Are they leaving him in?
No, we cannot take pitches.
thank you Ray
They're leaving him in. He had 13 stolen bases at Nashville this year (career high), but 8 caught-stealings.
Another heap of stranded runners.
DAMMIT!
D'oh.
That stolen base % equals not effective.
oh well. good effort i thought
aw crap. You'd think with as many power hitters as we have, we'd occasionally execute a sac fly. Unintentionally of course.
There's another SportsCenter highlight after a late break.
Nice catch Cameron. Don't ever fuckin do it again.
Kapler could have got that
Love that line in major league
McClung? Hmmmm.
And here comes the situational lefty.
Phillies won, Mets up 9-5 going into the bottom of the 9th.
Situation neutralized.
Damn mets. Washington has 13 hits and only 5 runs. Mets have 9 runs on 10 hits.
Beanball time.
Charge the mound Brauny!
PRINCE!
Corners, nobody out.
Once again, the lack of a send-them-all 3B coach saves the Crew an out.
How far down the batting order should Hart be?
Cheap burgers at Webb's!
HARDY!
HART!
BREWERS!!!!
WEBBS!!!!
apparently no farther
2 in, 2 gone for the Nats against the Mets. Unfortunately, they need 2 more to tie.
So is this where everyone ended up?
We've sort of split between here and a place Peter set up called The Cheesehead Corner Pub.
i hate bunting. that was damn near caught and then a DP catching the runner off base.
i'm dual blogging
Good man, Eric. There are only 2 acceptable times to bunt:
- A pitcher trying to move a runner over.
- A very-fast batter catching (not trying to catch) the infield playing way back.
I show up expecting a ton of posts and comments following the firing and all I got was an out of business sign.
damnit Corey. Oh well, it was a good throw.
And still a good innning for us.
Chris blew up the place a half-hour early. He'll probably be back about next spring.
The ghost of 3B coach Sveum lives - shit!
Thanks for joining us Benjamin. We hope you'll find our Yost firing commentary and general jackassery satisfactory.
It's a final from Washington; Mets 9, Nats 7.
Gagne in. At least he has a few runs to play with.
Oooohhhhhh shiiiiitttt. Gagne? Really?
well, this is as appropriate a time as ever for Gagne
And he was coming regardless.
I have to say that the bullpen has looked good tonight. The guys we rarely see came through.
The September call-up definitely helped.
Sheets didn't really do his contract value any favors tonight, did he?
At least the Astros got destroyed by the Marlins.
He's definitely missing his usual DL rest.
Love that Ray Durham. Or the scorekeeper
i really hate these 64 commercials
Have fun; I'm calling it a night.
damn fine pitcch
i really miss the cub announcers. i enjoyed listening to them last night.
Nice job Ryan. Just one more...
Are these announcers serious? Of course we want the Cubs to beat the Mets.
kapler would have got that
swinging away again...
that was fast
C'mon guys, finish it out.
Aw crap
Do you guys think that it's not just coincidence Chris closed WSB the same day yost was fired?
maybe Chris was Ned...
Thanks for having me here Noonan's by the way.
come on prince use your glove
Aw shit Fielder....
you are kidding me
do we have a defensive replacement for Fielder?
Thanks for joining us Mike. We hope we can fill the void Chris/Ned left in your life.
Rivera can play first.
Wooo hoooooooo! Go Brewers! Nice job bullpen! Nice job bats!
Finally, a win!
You know, I don't think I fully appreciated Chris until he was gone.
I hope I don't feel the same way with Ned.
For the love of the sweet zombie Jesus a W. That error was a nail biter though.
Great game tonight! :)
