[sgtcluels]

Times running down to the first start for the returning 3TO. Figured I'd start the thread.

 

It's your classic Sunday Yost Lineup.

2B Rickie Weeks

CF Mike Cameron

LF Gabe Kapler

1B Prince Fielder

RF Corey Hart

3B Russell Branyan

C Mike Rivera

SS Craig Counsell

LHP Manny Parra

Lets ride the muscle while he's hot. Hall against righties was killing us. Hope Manny can keep his good streak going.

[sgtcluels]

Also, it's one year since Brauns call up. Guess he sits for it.. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

I'm okay with the days off today. Braun hasn't hit well the last few games and is under the weather day off is a good thing. Kendall could use a day game after night game off. And Hardy, well does it really matter not like he has been killing the ball. Just really looking forward to Manny continuing his recent success and seeing 3TO return.

[COOOOP]

Holy B-squad Batman! I guess we were lucky they sent Gwynn down. As there is no dh, they would have probably have him hit cleanup in this lineup. I am getting a good sunny vibe through the tint of my Oakleys though, so go crew!

[WV Brew]

I'm okay with the days off today.

 

Bully for you. Living in the DC area, this is around the 4th Brewer game I was able to see this year. I think I'll take the day off, thanks.

[Gobias Industries]

Ughh. I don't mind the off days that much, but why is Kapler hitting 3rd?

[trwi7]

I don't mind off days for players, what I hate is giving them the day off at the same time leaving a crappy lineup. Kaplan batting 3rd? Hell, I actually would have rather had Ned pick the lineup out of a hat.

[BrewCrewForever]

When will the Branyan #14 jerseys hit shelves!

[tommyboy42609]

Braun is fighting a bad head cold that is why he is out today.

[dlk9s]

Must I keep reminding everyone that our forfeit lineup was awesome last year? Guaranteed W today. At least 7 runs.

[And That]

Branyan fights bad head colds even when he doesn't have them.

[adambr2]

At this point, Prince will get a nice big chuckle out of arbitrators if he goes to arbitration looking for Ryan Howard type money next offseason.

[dlk9s]

By the way, I had a dream last night that Braun was leading off, playing catcher, and Jose Guillen was batting 2nd, in left field.

 

So, I guess I was somewhat in tune was the weirdness of our lineup.

[trwi7]

Rivera is a terrible defensive catcher. You have to block that.

[adambr2]

Didn't we keep Rivera over Munson because of his defense?

[crewcrazy]

That would be why Rivera gets 2 starts a month. Ugh.

 

Good inning otherwise for Manny. Branyan's first AB coming up. :D

[trwi7]

3TO goes out of the box.

[adambr2]

What is that, the 373rd double play we've grounded into this road trip?

[crewcrazy]

Looks like Lastings Milledge has a baseball IQ of about 12.

[jhart05]

Anyone listening to Uke?

 

He was just doing Tweety Bird.

 

LMAO.

[dlk9s]

I would have liked that half inning to last a little longer.

[MNBrew]

For those of us without TV or radio coverage of the game, is Branyan indeed wearing #14?

[crewcrazy]

Yes, Branyan's wearing #14 today, and sporting the shades.

[cnycerveceros]

Branyan, Counsell, and Kapler all in the same lineup? Is this AAA?
