Forgoing the Yo jersey tonight to ride the hot hand with my 10-1 Polo shirt. Make it worth my while, Brewers. Hopefully Hairston Jr. makes it by gametime and can start in CF. We'd probably be looking at something like:

 

Hart, Hairston, Braun, Fielder, Lopez, McGehee, Betancourt, Lucroy, Gallardo.

 

I'm not sure whether I'd prefer Lopez or Hairston 2, but I suppose it is better than Carroll, Wilson, and/or Counsell.

[hawing]

We need to collectively decide how to refer to the Brewers' newest acquisition. I'm going to use JHJ for now.

 

Go Brewers. 1-0 for today.

[FoxyFoxes]

Same lineup as last night but with Hairston in for Morgan. GAllardo can pound the zone against these guys. I see 8 innings out of Yo tonight with an Estrada appearance. Save the big gunners in the bullpen for St Louis if all possible.

Hart 9 Morgan 8 Braun 7 Fielder 3 Lopez 4 McGehee 5 Betancourt 6 Lucroy 2 Gallardo 1

 

Guess Hairston won't be there in time.

Guess Hairston won't be there in time.

Maybe we can look for a Kevin Mench-like entry?

[FoxyFoxes]

Please have a KEvin Mench like entry. That would be so sweet.

[Invader3K]

Please have a KEvin Mench like entry. That would be so sweet.

I was just thinking this. Paging Craig Coshun...

[umphrey]

Thanks for the 3R 2 out HR against the Cardinals, Soriano

[PrinceEatMeat]

Haha a Mench entry would be amazing.

I always think of this Jerry when I see him. JHJ works well, but in my mind, he's "Mouse."

classy play by Holliday to stick his foot and spike Castro.

[ninja33]

oh my lord the cubs are bad.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Thanks for the 3R 2 out HR against the Cardinals, Soriano

 

Guess it was too much to ask for the Cubs to make a 5-0 lead hold up. Normally it's a food thing they suck so bad.

I have no idea how that wasn't called interference.

[razzzorsharp]

Jeff Smardafdasgfragrfagagfwa only pitches well against the Brewers it seems.

[topper09er]

Look for Morgan to bunt every time there is a runner on first since we are facing a lefty. Id prefer to move Lucroy up to the 2 slot for today.

[MVP2110]

Tonight should be a easy win. Gallardo going up against the joke of a lineup that the astros are, especially considering Bourn could pull a Pence tonight. 3 runs should easily be enough i'm hoping. lol

[razzzorsharp]

I don't ever think it's an easy win. Happ could pitch a gem tonight as the Brewers aren't the lefty killers that they once were.

In reverence to his father, I'm going with SPECS. If his dad rocked those awesome shades, then his kid has to be just as cool.

ugh, and we all know how well THAT turned out. Really, I'm not all that thrilled with the acquisition but it's a step upward from what we had.

[Funketown]

AAA lineup, check.

Once promising pitcher now struggling on the mound for the opponent, check.

Yovani Gallardo throwing the ball well, check.

Guaranteed loss, check.

[topper09er]

Alfonso Soriano just made Carlos Lee look like Carl Crawford with his effort on a Theriot double to the gap in the 7th inning.

[pebadger]

WMLW means my-eyes-bleed. It's the functional equivalent of watching a game through the privacy glass in my shower door.

 

I'll keep complaining until I don't have to, or I'm dead, whichever comes first.

It looks worse than ever tonight. Looks zoomed in, stretched out and of course, grainy.
