I really hope Roenicke moves Lucroy or Weeks to the 2 hole soon. I'm really sick of Gomez/Morgan there. Now that Lucroy's back, that needs to happen. Lucroy shouldn't be hitting 7th. Obviously he needs a couple games to phase in, but after that something should change.

[hawing]

Based on recent events, I'm going to cling to the little things. Welcome back Luc!

8. SS Cesar Izturis

 

I'm not sure how many more times I can stomach reading that name in the starting lineup. To quote C-3PO, "this is madness!"

[trwi7]

I prefer to quote Luke Skywalker. "What a piece of junk."

[Baldkin]

and I prefer to quote Jar Jar Binks, "Dissen berry, berry bad. Oh! Icky icky goo!"

[TooLiveBrew]

Wow, what's one more than getting one-upped? Two-upped? Whatever it is, it just happened to me.

Bill's twitter analysis is worse than his TV analysis.

Edwin Jackson is a hard thrower and has more strikeout than innings pitched this year. 10 of his last 15 starts have have been on the road.

Looks like that'd be Up Cubed at this point

If Snoop Dogg narrated NFL Films, that's how he'd pronounce coach Lombardi.

Did you correct him? Edwin Jackson is actually only striking out ~7/9IP this season and only 9 of his last 15 starts have been on the road.

 

He is a fairly hard tosser though. I guess they always say that in baseball you're successful if you go 1/3, so Bill must just be shooting for a high batting average here.

[trwi7]

Did you correct him?

 

Nah, too busy trolling the Bucks and Sullivan & Son.

[AZBrewCrew]

semi related, but having wireless on my flight right now is great. about to stream the game!

Fly safe! Keep the hurl bag ready for the late innings when the Brewers go to the bullpen.

[dlk9s]

Yo's mane is in fine form tonight.

[AZBrewCrew]

Other than the mistake to LaRoche, Yo has looked good early on.

[sauveb]

Oh well, at least the bullpen won't have to blow this one.

[TURBO]

Other than the mistake to LaRoche, Yo has looked good early on.

 

awful early to proclaim he is on isn't it? (2nd inning)

 

lol As I am typing this, the crap has hit the fan...

 

Great job Yo.

[brewmann04]

Ya into the second and we see Yo fall apart no way to consider him a #1.

[markedman5]

Walks have just killed the Brewers this year.

[AZBrewCrew]

Ugh. Just landed in Minneapolis, turned the game off 10 min ago and now look at the score. Simply amazing.

[cnycerveceros]

I don't like the Nationals and I hope they fold down the stretch.

 

Mostly I'm just bitter from watching this wreck of a Brewers team.

 

Bah.

[brewmann04]

AZ enjoy Minny and don't worry about the Crew.
