With Helena's season now over, the Brewers activated the team's one official disabled list player, catcher Lou Palmisano, in a paper transaction. Huntsville will have an additional bat off the bench available for Game Three in Carolina. The Brewers have confirmed for Brewerfan.net that catcher Charlie Lozada will be joining the team at that point. Lozada's proving to be quite a story. Signed just this past offseason and having only turned 18 this past June, he started the season raking for the Arizona Brewers, handled himself capably in High Desert, and then helped the injury-riddled catching corps in Helena to end the season. Now he's been chosen to join the Stars, his fourth Brewer affiliate this season, in the postseason. (Since playoff stats don't show up on a player's bio, history will show Lozada played with three affiliates.) In 116 combined AB's this season, the youngster hit .327 with an OBP of .381. Seven of his 38 hits went for extra bases. Not sure if either Kade Johnson or Mike Kremblas are banged up, perhaps that's something David Weiser or others in Huntsville will verify for us. Certainly the Brewers didn't want to break up the Beloit catching corps while they're in the midst of their own playoff run. At 18, Lozada's earned his frequent-flyer miles, that's for sure. He'll be an interesting name to keep an eye on in coming years. If all goes well, he can sneak in a bit of bubbly in a few days.

Lansing (Cubs) 7, Beloit 6, 10 innings Lansing Site Game Summary: LANSING -- Playing from behind the powerful Beloit Snappers all night long at Oldsmobile Park, the first time the Lansing Lugnuts led the game Tuesday night was when they danced off the field victoriously in the 10th inning. Trailing 5-0 after three innings and ailing from an off outing by ace Anderson Tavarez, the Lugnuts' bullpen held firm for the final seven innings while their hitters chipped away. The culmination was a thrilling 7-6 victory to take Game One of the 2003 Midwest League Championship Series. With leadoff hitter Felix Pie at third base and one out in the 10th, cleanup man Brian Dopirak grounded the ball to the left side of the infield. Beloit third baseman Adam Heether bobbled the ball for an instant and then threw home, but his throw was wide and Pie scored standing up and ran into a pile of his congratulatory teammates. Beloit had scored three runs in the second inning on RBI singles by Callix Crabbe and Pedro Esparagoza and a run-scoring double by Heether. In the third, the club tacked on two more with a Travis Hinton double that scored Prince Fielder and a throwing error by Dopirak. Tavarez left after three tough innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits. He walked one, struck out two and failed to get a single groundball out. Dan Foli took over in the fourth and held down Beloit with three scoreless innings as the offense raged back. Lansing scored two in the fourth on two-out singles by Keith Butler and Pie, scoring Matt Creighton and J.J. Johnson. Two more scored in the fifth on two-out RBI singles from Jose Reyes and Johnson. In the sixth, Lansing brought it back to all-square when Casey McGehee grounded into a fielder's choice to score Pie. Felix, the offseason star for Lansing in the postseason, went 3-for-5, improving his league-best postseason average to .545 (12-for-22). Beloit finally found a chink in the armor of Lansing's bullpen in the seventh, when Tony Gwynn doubled off of lefty Ryan O'Malley and then scored on a single by Fielder. Lansing had an answer again. In the eighth, Pie led off with a walk and Buck Coats laid down a bunt for a single. McGehee sacrificed them into scoring position and Robinson Chirinos followed with a first-pitch sacrifice fly to deep left. The score remained tied in the ninth as Lansing Closer Jason Wylie threw a scoreless frame. In the 10th, manager Julio Garcia went to B.J. Benik, who has now pitched in all five games of the postseason. Benik responded by striking out two hitters and stopping a sure hit up the middle with a flick of his glove to complete a perfect inning. Pie legged out an infield single in the 10th; Coats sacrificed him to second, and an infield single by McGehee put runners at the corners and set the stage for Dopirak. Game Two is at 6:05 p.m. on Wednesday at Olds Park with lefty Andrew Sisco on the hill. The Lugnuts have been in three Championship Series in their eight-year history and won in 1997.

David Weiser's www.starsboxscore.com Huntsville Update: BLOWN CALL COSTS STARSThe consensus of every observer I heard high and low, from one foul line to the other was that first base ump Scott Kennedy blew the call in the top of the 9th, cheating Chris Barnwell out of a hit and the Stars out of a victory in Game One.. Assuming the call on Barnwell would have been made correctly, the bases would have been loaded for Brandon Gemoll, whose one-out single to left could have brought home two runs and resulted in a first-and-third situation for Noochie Varner. Varner's single could have tied the game, and there still would have been a runner in scoring position with one out......... But this is what happened, instead. Down 3-0, the Stars were fortunate enough to send the top of the order to the plate in the 9th inning. On the mound, the Mudcats' closer Mike Flannery, who picked up two saves against the Stars this season, but was hit hard as well (.313 opp. avg.)......... Barnwell worked the count to 2-2, and then chopped a grounder over the head of Flannery. Jesus Medrano had to come in and awkwardly made the play to first. With Barney steaming up the baseline, Medrano's flip was a shoe late, but Kennedy emphatically threw the runner out........ Barnwell flipped out at the call and had to be restrained by 1st base coach Sandy Guerrero. Handicapped by the bad call, the Stars nevertheless rallied anyway as Dave Krynzel rapped a single to right center and J.J. Hardy walked on four pitches........ MVP Corey Hart, clearly the goat in this game, struck out on a 1-2 fastball for the second out........ Gemoll now is the last chance for Huntsville........ He goes 0-and-2, fouls off a pitch to the upper level seats on the 3rd base side, then bloops an inside pitch. Chris Aguila races in from left and Billy Hall goes back, but the ball drops in front of Aguila for a hit. Next, Varner gets behind 0-and-2, but keeps the rally alive with a single to the gap in left-center........ With a 2-2 count on the next hitter, Brad Nelson, the runners advance into scoring position on a double steal, but Nelson is left standing on a strike three call that is clearly low and wide of the plate --- another bad call in the inning (and not the first of the night by Cameron Keller, either)........ Nelly stood at the plate in disgust and I shattered my clipboard in two against the hard plastic seat in front of me........ Oddly enough, the Stars' 5-3 loss to Carolina back on June 24 ended on a bad call with the tying run at the plate. The Stars must now come back, as they have done before. This is nothing new......... In 1994, the Stars lost the first game of the Championship Series to Carolina, then proceeded to take the next three, and this year, as well as in 2001, lost the 1st game of the Division Playoffs, and went on to victory........ Jeff Housman, who pitched a two-hitter over seven innings in a Game Two victory over Birmingham last Thursday, will be on the mound Wednesday for what will be the last home game for the Stars this season....... Southpaw Todd Moser goes for Carolina. The Stars will be seeing him for the first time........ Moser, who was shelled by Tennessee in the Eastern Division Playoffs, was 6-4, 3.41 during the regular season. A fifth-year pro, he won All-Star recognition in Class A, but is a non-prospect and has been challenged by Double-A this year. He's got good control, but gave up a club-high eight HRs. The game started out as a beautifully pitched duel between Trevor Hutchinson, who after giving up a leadoff single to Barnwell, retired 14 straight, and Ben Hendrickson, who pitched one-hit ball until the 8th........ Of Hendrickson's 22 outs, eleven came on ground outs and two by strikeout. Until the 8th, only one hitter reached 2nd on him, and he was economical with his pitches, never throwing more than 13 until the 7th. He went full on only two hitters. But Carolina, never hitting the ball hard all night, put together two successive radar-guided singles....... Corey Hart, lacking any range all season on his left side, took a couple of steps toward the hole, but appeared to just let Ryan Jorgensen's one-hopper through, allowing Drew Niles to move to second........ With a scoreless tie and the pitcher up, you could see a bunt coming....... Pinch-hitter Chip Ambres laid one down on the edge of the grass on the 3rd base side, a tough one. Corey came in and fielded the ball with his throwing hand and off stride, sailed the ball high and wide up the 1st base line, scoring Niles and putting runners in scoring position........ Billy Hall was intentionally walked by Hendrickson to set up the double play, but Jesus Medrano, who hit .227 with just one RBI against Stars pitching during the season, rolled a single up the middle through a drawn-in infield, to score both runners........ Hendrickson's night was over after 93 pitches, 53 for strikes (57%)....... Jeff Hundley and Ryan Miller mopped up the inning easily. Although Hutchinson was just as sharp, the Stars left two runners in scoring position on his watch....... Barnwell was stranded on third by Hart, who looked at a third strike to end the 1st inning......... Krynzel, whose bat woke up in Game 5 vs. Birmingham, tripled off the right field wall with two out in the 6th, but Hardy hit a high hop over the third base bag, and Josh Willingham made a nice backhand stop and threw to first in time to end the inning...... The Stars wouldn't threaten again until the 9th. The game was stopped in the bottom of the 3rd inning to give an Austin, Texas lawyer an opportunity to win a million dollars by throwing three strikes through an outlined human-shaped stand-up target set up at home plate. Through some sort of national elimination, I guess, sponsored by BC Powder, Jack Gullahorn came out to the rubber, accompanied by his personal pitching coach, Vida Blue (yes, none other than the 1971 A.L. Cy Young winner)...... Given seven chances, Gullahorn, already filthy rich I'm sure --- he is a lawyer, after all --- missed the form altogether on the first pitch. The second hit the edge of the cut-out. The remaining two were nowhere near the strike zone........ Had to wonder why Vida Blue was even there. Wondered if he really wanted to come at all because he was late, but he clearly hadn't been much help to this guy at all, but just for showing up, the Texas suit-and-briefcase deepened his pocket with $10,000 given by the sponsor. In the 4th inning, a high pop by Hart went foul to the first base side and hit a baby who was being protected by his father or whoever was holding him. The baby was not, I hope, seriously hurt, and the ball may have been deflected first...... Medical aid was alerted and the baby and family were quickly cared for by the Stars staff members, including GM Bryan Dingo and they all left the game. The Brewers released scout Epy Guerrero (Sandy's father) and closed down their Dominican camp. A cost-saving move apparently. In addition to the number of major leaguers Guerrero scouted for the majors, he discovered Luis Martinez, who traveled a weary road to success to make it to the majors this year.

No kidding, MassBrew? I don't imagine that anyone outside Montana, whichever city they were playing, and relatives of the players tuned in to that game. Hey, at least you gave the majors first crack. Geno, I wish you chose to grace Brewerfan's Minor League Forum and chime in there more often (it's actually more heavily visited than the Major League Forum). You'd find recent threads on the decisions to eliminate the fall instructionals and the Dominican program, both issues that (perhaps) relate to the budgetary spending (or lack there-of) you so rightly allude to so often. Geno, just saying that their was absolutley a definable rush in listening to Brewer playoff baseball this weekend from Huntsville, even if it was on the AA level. I'm surprised I gave Wayne Franklin three innings of my time, actually. And speaking of expanding your Brewerfan universe, I also wish you'd check in more often on the Off-Topic threads that suit your fancy -- surely you'd have one of your worthwhile Top 10's, this one of your "most ugly of the most beautiful", as linked here: pub123.ezboard.com/fbrewe...=732.topic And while I'm in no position to say so, with Tennessee benefitting from all those penalties against the Raiders to beat us, watching the Helena game sure beats watching a replay of the Patriots game! My Patriots already took their lumps in posts in the Off-Topic forum, and as for your boys, it's always about the officials, isn't it? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Linkage: Classic Audio Transcript http://www.raidersrap.com/fumble0119.jpg

Don't look now, but with the remaining schedule, that # 1 overall draft pick is back in sight. Open that wallet and say "Ahhhh...", Ulice -- I mean Wendy -- I mean Bud...

By the way, I did email the Midwest League home office and they said no special arrangements would be made by either Lansing or Beloit (nor the central office) to provide web audio feeds of this series. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif At least the 5:05 Central start times the next two nights will allow for an early announcement of the final score. Still, a darn shame... And colby, better you than me on getting the Billings audio feed back after it went out on the Helena game -- must be nice to have a Mac (for once). http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Why do I see Wayne Franklin's name in all of the projected starting rotations posted here for 2004? So we can see more of the most baserunners allowed in all of baseball this year? I just want to thank Wayne for making my choice to flip over to Helena playoff baseball easy tonight.
