Milwaukee Brewers

 

Tomo "Babe" Ohka (4-3, 4.42)

Ohka surrendered six runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings in last Thursday's victory against Colorado, picking up 4 RBI in his first three plate appearances as a left handed batter in his career. Ohka is only 1-3 in six career matchups vs. Houston.

Houston Astros

 

Roy Oswalt (10-8, 3.23)

Oswalt seeks his second straight winning start after allowing just two runs and five hits in six innings at Cincinnati last Wednesday. Notoriously dubbed a Brewer killer, Oswalt is 10-6 with a 3.34 ERA in 18 lifetime starts vs. the crew.

 

We need another 4 RBI game, Tomo! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I assume Tomo will be batting lead off tonight?

[saget]

I can't believe I'm still watching this team.

 

Go Brewers

Not enough speed, he's hitting clean-up.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[wibadgers23]

The big question is whether we'll score more than 2 runs. With Tomo in there tonight, I think the answer is yes.

[sgtcluels]

Lets hope we get better IGT Mojo then I have in the past 3 games. Ugh..

[IslandsAC]

No TV and no radio in La Crosse. The Brewers are making it very easy for me to ignore them tonight...

 

Except that I'm starting Oswalt and Tomo on my fantasy team, so hopefully the brewers win 1-0

He would just clog the bases.

[TuesdayWithRillo]

The real question is... Will we ever get Berkman or Taveras to make an out?

[Worm8181]

Taveras has his hitting streak still going right? Something like 30? Hope that can get broken this series.

[hurricane3184]

Brewers can't win when the Reds lose, so go Reds.

Yep 30 games and most likely counting...

[thablingster]

Bill Hall walks as to not make Roy Oswalt feel bad for giving up a 2 out run. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

 

Come on Double G, get us a run early, please. lol

[naivin]

That must be the plan against taveras. Plunk him, then pick him off.

[trwi7]

Ohka suckshttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[giffted1]

I hate Luke Scott

[crewcrazy]

I think I speak for everyone when I say, "SCORE SOME FREAKING RUNS ALREADY!"

 

Tomo's pitching well with the exception of that one pitch to Scott, but it's looking like it'll go to waste.

Our offense sucks how are we supposed to score runs?

[crewcrazy]

Oswalt has something like 357 K's through 5 innings. I might be off by a few.

[crossface21]

So what do you think the press conference is gonna be about?

[brewcrewnation]

They were guessing on the Astro's tv side that they signed Roy O to a new contract.

[brewcrewnation]

ugg, and now a 2 run bomb for Biggio.

[crewcrazy]

Well there's a HR by Biggio down the 215 foot line or whatever it is in left field. 3-0.
