2010-04-09 Cardinals (Lohse) at Brewers (Bush), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 5-4]

[Bombers]

Figured I would get the post started as I will be at the game tonight. Quick question. I want to go early to take my daughter to Autograph Friday's; anyone know who will be signing? Or do they just not announce it? Brewers.com season long promotions just says 6-7 Brewers will be signing. Also any idea on where to go once inside the park?

 

Thanks and Go Crew!!!

[Bombers]

For those interested I found out they no longer announce who will be signing. Just go to home plate when the gates open.

[BrewCrewForever]

Really hoping Bush has a good start to his 2010. Pickup where he left off before getting injured last season.

Brewers lineup per the Brewers twitter feed:

 

1. Weeks - 2B

2. Gomez - CF

3. Braun - LF

4. Fielder - 1B

5. McGehee - 3B

6. Edmonds - RF

7. Zaun - C

8. Escobar - SS

9. Bush - P

[trwi7]

So glad he split up Fielder and Edmonds.

[young guns]

At least McGehee and Edmonds are switched around today.

[zzzmanwitz]

Macha must be reading BF.net. Maybe he'll pick up a few other pointers...

[cadillacjosh]

That is a good looking batting order. If that is about how it stays the rest of the year, I really do like our chances.

Cards Talk

[craigharmann]

Is it wrong of me to expect a classy sweep by the Brewers?

[logan82]

Macha must be reading BF.net. Maybe he'll pick up a few other pointers...

Like maybe putting Edmonds #2? I would love to see Braun sandwiched by 2 lefties. Gomez' speed is also better leveraged in the bottom of the order with the singles hitters.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

In honor of the Cards visit to town I sure hope all of our young players have read the "how to be classy" guide to winning so they know how to behave appropriately after beating the Cards this weekend. I wouldn't want their 'roid freak hitting coach, their drunk driving manager or the world's classiest human beings to be upset.

[saget]

Must win. Gotta set the tone for the series with some first inning long balls.

[davemakovec]

Good to see that Diego and Fielder are split. I do like the idea (posited earlier) of Diego in the #2 spot. Good on-base skills, doesn't give up outs, and may require an opposing manager to make tough choices burning relievers with Braun and Fielder coming up late in the game.

 

Is RF going to be a hard platoon?

 

PS - nicely done, SoCal. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

You beat me (and the rest of this board) to it.

 

Let's go poultry hunting.

[And That]

Ah, the first Cardinals game of the season. Time to bust out the ol':

Man, that picture never gets old. Go Crew!

[brewerfan82]

Let's go Brewers! Let's hold onto first place tonight!

 

FEAR THE BEER!

[crewcrazy]

Part of me hopes the Brewers bust out some kind of new post-game celebration if they win tonight, but it'd also be pretty cool to see the Brewers rough up the Cards without celebrating, just to see how St. Louis sportswriters react.

 

Watching the pregame show, I forgot it was a retro Friday.

[craigharmann]

Last night for me to take advantage of the free EI package on Directv, as the wifey and I have a date for tomorrow night. So, I will be watching and cheering quietly as my almost 1 year old is nice and sleeping!

[WisconsinSportsRule]

Great defense in the 1st. McGehee with a beautiful stop and Alcides with double play.

[trwi7]

Where the hell did that pitch miss? Jeff Kellogg sucks.

[PeaveyFury]

Jeff Kellogg needs new glasses. Calling that a ball is absolute garbage.

[stoutdude04]

Welcome back defense...ugh.

[trwi7]

McGehee is an awful defender.
