I have a ticket for the game today, but my stomach isn't being cooperative. I think its because Kotsay is in CF.

[Funketown]

Now that the division is clinched, I can enjoy watching the sad tale of Mark Kotsay in center field.

 

Really though I want to hit 96 wins. Might as well set a new team record with this team.

[jason21nl]

This is pretty dumb. I'm all for resting guys, but come on there is still something to play for

[topper09er]

Does RRR not understand if we finish tied with the DBacks we will start the playoffs in Philly and this glorious season will come to a sad quick end.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I just don't get it. We have not one, but TWO plus defenders that can play CF, so RR puts the geriatric out there that can hardly cover 14 square feet. I'm not even going to argue about batting him 2nd, the fact of the matter is, no matter what, RR's CF bats 2nd. There's no getting around that. I guess RR must be thinking Philly will be easier to beat in a 5 game series as opposed to a 7 game series?

 

If so, bring it on!

[Schlitz001]

Hey, it's the hometown kid Vinny Rottino!

[DuWayne Steurer]

Rickie aired that throw out a bit.

[Glennron]

Kotsay's a big enough butcher in a corner spot as it is. It's maddening that RR apparently thinks there's nothing left to play for. Why rest guys now, when you'll have two consecutive off days starting Thursday? Unless Morgan AND Gomez are banged up or something, it's just stupid.

[owbc]

Kotsay is now 8 for 9 vs. Nolasco. That is why he is in today.

[jason21nl]

Kotsay is now 8 for 9 vs. Nolasco. That is why he is in today.

If he is in there that's fine. Don't play him in CF

[Glennron]

I guess he doesn't want to start him over Hart yet again consider how solid he's been, and you're obviously not going to bench Braun or Fielder for Kotsay if they're healthy. Can't we just have a designated fielder?

[stalton]

Despite the wave at ball 4 on a nasty pitch, Yuni B with a nice 8 pitch at bat

 

Nice Ribbie, George!

 

and a well executed bunt and slash by Narv Dog

[jason21nl]

Weeks did not look comfortable at all running the bases

[topper09er]

So it only took RRR 158 games to try that

[owbc]

Wow, what a lucky inning. Everything going right.

[Schlitz001]

Lucky for sure. If the Marlins don't cut off Rottino's throw to home, Kottaras is out by 10 feet.

[jason21nl]

wow, everything is falling today

[Vgmastr]

Man, it just seems like everything the Brewers are hitting are falling in. Nolasco hasn't been great, but he's been better than his line is showing.

[jason21nl]

JHJ smoked that ball

[owbc]

What a fun game to watch when everything is going right. Hopefully we can get some help from San Francisco this afternoon.

[pebadger]

Can use an easier win for a change. What would really be nice is Lincecum helping out a bit and prividing a 1-game cushion on AZ.

[topper09er]

Well I think McGehee will start game 1 of the playoffs no matter what, but hopefully RRR wont hesitate to start Hairy in game 2

[jason21nl]

it seems like every hit is juuuust out of the reach

[topper09er]

Wow we have a ton a balls with eyes already
