According to the line-ups posted on USA Today, Bill Hall is getting his first start in Centerfield tonight. Very interesting.

[mikerollins]

Is tonight's lineup the greatest lineup the Brewers have trotted out since 1982? I'm serious. No bad-Chad. No Bad-Brady. Awesome!

 

For those interested.......

 

Weeks

Hardy

Jenks

Lee

Prince

Hall

Koskie

Miller

Sheeter

Wow, not a weak link in that lineup. Top notch from 1-8. I think we'll score a ton of runs for Sheets tonight.

 

It really says something when 1-7 in your lineup could hit for 20 or more HRs on the season.

I was about to start a thread today about moving Hall to Center...

[RobertR]

That's pretty much the best Brewer lineup possible, isn't it?

I don't mind not seeing Ensberg in that Houston lineup.

[jloos19]

I thought to myself this morning, "maybe Yost will start Hall in center tonight. I mean, Hall has 9 hits in his last 3 games, he couldn't possibly bench him?" And it came true.

[Tisko]

Wow, this has to be the best lineup top to bottom the Brewers could possibly have this year, and the best in a long long time.

[Brewers77]

With a majority of people here asking for it, the last thing we need is a group of people complaining when he makes the first error at some point. Live with it and take the big offense he gives us every day he plays. It should be fun to watch.

[COOOOP]

Wow that lineup is a thing of beauty, no holes, and protection all the way through, Sheets is going to have to cover Miller's back though!

[PeaveyFury]

Kind of nice when it's May and your #8 hitter is hitting .303, isn't it?

[Bench Coach]

I was thinking the same thing earlier about Hall starting today. Too hot to sit and Hardy just sat. With Brady still struggling and the pitching matchup appearing to be in our favor seems to be the time to do it. Although his defense has looked pretty good so far in his limited action out there.

 

Go Billy and GO BREWERS!

[COOOOP]

Game time my friends.

 

Show 'em how its done Brewers!

[DHonks]

does Biggio kill other teams like he kills us?

[COOOOP]

Biggio leads off with a double down the line, on the first pitch from Ben.

[wisconsinfan47]

Uecker: A run will score...No! They'll get him....No! He scores.

 

1-0 Houston

[COOOOP]

Oh Dear that was VERY close. The stros announcers thought that it would be an easy run until Jenkins threw it home!

[COOOOP]

One run they got, no biggy. Lets get em!

[markwitx]

1-0 bad guys

[markwitx]

how big of a crowd is there tonight

[And That]

That's pretty much the best Brewer lineup possible, isn't it?

 

Which of course means that the Brewers will score between 0 and 2 runs.

[steve267268]

Looks like a high strike zone tonight...

 

that is not good for Benny unless he commits to throwing high heat all game.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Oh oh...last time Sheets couldn't hit 90 we lost him for a few weeks.
