Sounds like Sheets is throwing clean and easy...

DON'T MESS WITH WES. BELIEVE.

On the plus side, Conti will be eligible to be on the post-season roster now.

It's just a big psyche job. Yost will bring Geoff off the bench with 2 out in the top of the 9th to put the Brewers ahead.

God bless the Chicago Cubs and their equally crappy defense.

Ugh.... i've seen better defense by the French.

How many miscues will Hall have to make before the brewerfan lovefest ends?

I would assume he's still hurting....

Who did you want instead?

[ If the Brewers DO end up playing spoiler for some of these teams, you may start hearing the national media talk about how the Brewers are "coming together". ] That makes me think of something either BlazinWings or Batman said at the ballgame one time (forgive me for not remembering who) Your 2003 Republican Guard: It's coming together

SportsTicker Game Preview: Milwaukee (58-75) at Chicago Cubs (68-64) 3:20 pm EDT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers look to extend their winning streak to 11 games Friday afternoon as they visit Wrigley Field to face the Chicago Cubs in the opener of a three-game series. The Brewers completed a four-game sweep at Cincinnati with Thursday's 4-3 10-inning victory and have won 10 in a row for the first time since 1988. Rookie Bill Hall hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning and Geoff Jenkins hit a solo homer. But Jenkins, who homered in all four games at Cincinnati left the game in the seventh with a fracture of the left thumb that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the season. Ben Sheets (10-10, 4.28 ERA), who is 6-0 with a 2.87 ERA in eight lifetime starts against Chicago, gets the baseball for the Brewers. Sheets has pitched twice during Milwaukee's tear and did not receive a decision in either outing. He is 0-3 with a 6.93 ERA in his last five starts and gave up five runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in Sunday's 10-9 win over Pittsburgh. Chicago has lost seven of its last 11 games and is 1 1/2 games behind first-place St. Louis and Houston in the National League Central. Sammy Sosa hit his 31st home run in the first inning Thursday, but the Cubs managed just five innings and suffered a 3-2 loss at St. Louis. Chicago is just 32-32 at home. Cubs righthander Matt Clement (11-11, 4.22) has alternated wins and losses in five August starts. He has split his last eight decisions and is coming off Sunday's win at Arizona, where he allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. The 29-year-old righthander is 3-3 with a 5.51 ERA in eight lifetime starts vs. Milwaukee.

2:20 PM, CST TV: None Radio: WTMJ 620 http://www.bandofmid-america.com/jpg/Brewermascot.JPG Go! Go! Go! The unbelievably hot Milwaukee Brewers try go for win #11 in a row this afternoon. An eleven game winning streak will give them sole posession of the 2nd longest winning streak in MLB this year (Arizona had 12 earlier this season). Ben Sheets picked up a win in has last start, but got roughed up by the Pirates. He's really had a rough month, due to nagging injury, and shouldn't be expected to go very deep in this game. He's got a 6.93 ERA in the month of August that pushed his season ERA from 3.88 to 4.28. Matt Clement is coming off a nice start against Arizona, where he went 7 IP giving up 2 runs on only 5 hits. He's having a down August, but still has his ERA at 4.85 for the month.
