4/10/07 Brewers (Vargas) @ Marlins (Vanden Hurk): 6:05 PM CT

[DHonks]

pretty cool to have Milwaukee joining Chicago, NY, LA, and the bay area as having two teams. So much for being a small media market, eh?

[owbc]

There's only a 50% chance of rain for the Miami area tonight, so there is a good possibility of them getting the game in.

The Miami Herald said that Vanden Hurk has never pitched above Single A and during his career, he posted a 5-12 record. Also, as someone previously said, he never has swung a bat in a professional game.

[adamb100]

With the information just said Hurk is going to hit the game winning homerun and beat us 1-0 and look like the next roger clemens.

[bucks2281]

The Weather Channel in Miami is reporting that there will likely be scattered thunderstorms, mainly late, with a 40% chance of rain. It's cloudy and humid down here in Miami today, but I'll still take the chance and trek to the game.

Do the Indians and Angels deserve their own game threads this week?

[lukevan]

OK, I tried to reverse jinx the Brewers yesterday but it didn't work so here goes with predicting a Brewers victory tonight:

 

Brewers 9

Marlins 6

 

Vargas 5.2 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 K

Fielder 2 for 4, HR, 2 RBI

Jenkins 2 for 4, HR

Weeks 3 for 3, SB, 2B, 2 R

Turnbow IP, 2 K, 1 H

Cordero, IP, 2 K, Save

[Gone]

Yost said yesterday that he was thinking Graffy would play 2nd instead of Weeks. Just an FYI for those predicting a big game from Richie

[BrewCrewForever]

I hope Billy gets a few hits tonight and has no mistakes in the OF. Was nice to see him get 2 BB last night, now its time to start mashing and get that AVG up.

You'd seem to think a lot of us will be paying attention to those games as well as our own.

[BrewCrewForever]

On a side note burniebrewer I just read your signature. That is outstanding! One of my favorite Seinfeld quotes of all-time. I tip my hat to you for that one.

So...the day after Weeks goes 2 for 5 with a triple is a good day to sit him?

No kidding. After last night you play him tonight, then if goes 0- For tonight then sit him Wednesday. After 2 hits last night maybe he really breaks out tonight. Please don't sit him Ned.

The lineups are posted at the top of the thread! And yes Graffy is starting over Rickie.

[BrewCrewForever]

Please, not tonight. I'm tired of it.

 

No kidding between those ans K's we need to end them both and fast.

[PrinceFielder28]

nice move Ned...Graffy did nothing last night and Weeks actually was hitting the ball...Why??

[BrewCrewForever]

Doesn't make much sense to bench Rickie tonight. We'll see what happens I guess.

[JET15]

According to the line-ups at the top, no one is playing 2B. We have 2 guys competing at SS http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[wOOgiE22]

Haha, oops thats what happens when I copy and paste too fast http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[rluzinski]

Are ground outs better or something?

[wOOgiE22]

The lineups are fixed now, Counsell at 3B and Graffy at 2B.

[cooprules]

I heard earlier Monday that Weeks was going to get a night off tonight. If it's to give his wrist a "wrest", I'm ok with it. But I'm worried Yost is "Helmsing" it with Graffanino and Mench.

 

Either way, there's no way I can blame Yost for the not so stellar play lately. It's total lack of execution on the players.

[shtiny]

There is no reason for CC to get this much playing time. There was on off day last Thursday and one coming up this Thursday for the starters to rest. Why would you want to have Graffy and CC in the lineup together if it wasn't absolutely necessary?
