I was at the game you're talking about... the 1-0 Davis/Clemens matchup. It was indeed a great game, and I'm going to be there tonight as well. But for some reason I don't think it was last year... unless it was early in the season... it seems so long ago. Tonight's matchup will be interesting. both pitchers plagued with no run support. Some lucky reliever is going to get the W for this hog.

Capuano has now out-preformed the third basemen for the past two games combined. p.s. JJ HARDY!!!!!!!

Does anyone know: I saw a graphic up a couple of starts ago that Capuano has ** 0 ** steals against him this season when he pitches? Is that still accurate? edit - 0 steals this season

What happened to Lee? Was he almost injured?

Every week we seem to be switching opponants with the Cubs. Like we'll go on the same road trips, have the same home dates, and we'll play a team during the week then they'll play them on the weekends, and we'll swap. Does anybody know if this has always been the case with MLB scheduling? Do teams have kind of a partner like that?

I'm dreading tomorrow's matchup as much as the next guy... but i have to say i don't feel that bad about it. This is as shaky as logic gets but... we've hit the aces of the league pretty darn well. We put 'em on the scoreboard against Randy Johnson, Peavy, and Santana, to name a few, and we did OK against pedro earlier this year. Not great, but not bad. i'd feel much worse about tomorrow's game if it was a lefty they just brought up from AA with a 5.90 ERA for a spot start.

was rolen throwing to first or the plate?

I remember that game for sure. My friends and I were there... and they came all the way back from 5-0, with Wes Helms the hero with a walk-off three-run HR in the bottom of the 12th or 13th. Fantastic game... Livan was in the game until one or two outs in the bottom of the ninth when the crew finally got to him. Very exciting game, but about half the crowd was already gone before it got interesting, and about 40% (if not less) of the crowd was still on hand for the final victory. The crowd that stuck it out was PUMPED, though... we must have high-fived the entire section, and the place was still screaming, clapping, jumping, for about five minutes after the game. Brewers were coming out of the dugout pointing to the crowd and waving and stuff.... great game.

Looks Dusty putting Corey "i-deserve-to-lead-off-even-though-i-strike-out-three-times-a-game" Patterson at the top of the lineup is over... too bad for the brewers.

Quote: Wow, 1 bad outing in the past 8 weeks leads to this? bs: I agree for sure that Phelps has had a great stretch up to that game... 0 ER between April 20 and June 11 (15 innings over 17 games) ... I still haven't gotten over the Cubs game where he came into a 5-2 lead and left with a tie game 5-5 in one inning, leading to an eventual Brewers loss, and the series loss as well. How's THAT for a grudge? Then again, I had to get up and leave the room during a discussion two weeks ago about Glendon Rusch... Quote: Apparently baseless hatred causes people to speak a new dialect of English Baseless - 3 games lost. Hatred - pretty strong word for what was originally intended as a joke. Since my comment may be obscuring what otherwise could be substantive discussion, i respectfully withdraw said comment and will keep any further attempts at humor to myself.

Oh, and what exactly happened with Rickie this inning defensively? He could have gotten the guy out or something? Sorry I'm not watching the game

Here's hoping we see Prince Fielder in as a pinch hitter, and not as a pinch runner. Oh, and that we see Tommy Phelps as a pinch-season-ending-injury.

Judging from the past few games, and the fact that we've got Bill Hall, Lyle, and slightly-less-fat Wes Helms in the lineup today; anybody have an errors over/under? Seven?

Wow, the Angels sure aren't putting their best foot forward today... I look forward to seeing what JJ can do batting second

Why in the WORLD did Bill Hall replace Brady Clark? Did Brady get hurt?
