6/10/07 Brewers (Bush) @ Rangers (Padilla): 7:35 PM CDT

Ned's line-up. Holy Crap, he actually moved Estrada down. Ned finally found a lead-off and #5 hole hitter, sadly its the same player--Hart.

 

Counsell-2B

Hardy-SS

Braun-3B

Fielder-DH

Hart-RF

Jenkins-LF

Estrada-C

Hall-CF

Graffy-1B

[jjgott]

Typical Ned...When will the Graffy at first base experiment end!

[ Ned's line-up. Holy Crap, he actually moved Estrada down. ]

 

Yeah, I finally found his cell #. Sorry for the delay.

[jloos19]

When Weeks comes back, that lineup could look very nice with Weeks hitting leadoff and Hart in the 5 hole.

[sauveb]

I would even take Hart at 1 and Weeks at 5. Either way suits me fine.

[Ennder]

Thats actually a pretty good lineup, I'm surprised. I like Hart batting 5th as long as Hall is sucking and Weeks is hurt.

[SlideBernieSlide]

So when Weeks returns our line-up should be this...

 

Weeks or Hart

Hardy

Braun

Fielder

Weeks or Hart

Jenkins

Estrada

Hall

P

 

That looks like a line-up that should score some runs.

[Brian the Automator]

Counsell has been a net loss regarding stolen bases over the past two years... Let's just hope ned doesn't get any funny ideas.

[wisconsinfan47]

Just win, please.

[crewcrazy]

I like Hart batting behind Prince. Then again, after experiencing Estrada batting after Prince for the better part of two months, I'd probably like Counsell batting after Prince.

 

Edit: The bad part about having to follow this on Gameday is seeing Padilla's ugly mug all night:

Anybody watching the Cubs-Braves game? Lilly just got tossed for hitting Renteria.

[RU Rah Rah]

Really important game tonight, obviously. Can't get swept heading into Detroit and Minnesota, especially when it's the worst team in MLB (playing without its best player, no less).

 

That road record has got to get closer to the sunnier side of .500, by the way. I think the Brewers are in the bottom 5 in MLB away from home.

 

There is a 0% chance of Ned being fired if, God forbid, the Rangers sweep. No first-place manager is going to get fired unless he molests or kills someone.

 

I wonder, though -- what if it's mid-July, and the team is under .500, out of first place, yet within 4-5 games of the lead? Do you bring in an elder statesman type to get the youngsters in line?

[brewcrew00]

Was the game added to DTV? If so it's time to head out to the tavern!

[brewcrew00]

Back to back hits to lead off the game, nobody move from what they're doing.

[Ennder]

back to back hits followed by back to back strikeouts, go figure.

[jloos19]

We suck so hard.

[MoneyballMan]

Good thing The Sopranos is on tonight instead of the Crew.

[crewcrazy]

Seriously, I think someone kidnapped the real Prince Fielder. All of his hacks this series have been so un-Prince-like it scares me to think that he's the next one to come back down to earth when no one else is stepping up.

[MoneyballMan]

Great. Let's see if Texas leaves men at 1st and 3rd like we do.

[MoneyballMan]

WOW! Couple of hotties in the stands in Atlanta!!

[MoneyballMan]

And, hotties in HD!!

[MoneyballMan]

I hate that... "In play, run(s)"

[BrewCityUnit]

Counting last night, how many guys have gotten on base in a row for Texas?

[bucksman4]

This team is becoming so sickening to me. Thank God I can't witness this on live tv.

 

Dave Bush is easily the player that frustrates me most on this team. His mental lapses and big-run innings are becoming quite expected and I am waiting for Gallardo to take his spot in the rotation ASAP.

 

 

Edit: Sadly, this game may be over before we even take our second ABs. Bases loaded 0 outs.

[PeaveyFury]

A run in and the bases loaded with no one out?

 

Bush is doing his best to give Yo his rotation spot, it seems.
