[Glennron]

So is Mike Cameron's toe injury more serious than originally thought? I mean four straight games of Kapler starting, that isn't really great news concerning Mike. It'll be nice to have Weeks back though.

[Trowekamp]

I am going to be the optimist and predict a 10-2 Brewers win...

 

I am hoping Weeks return doesn't affect the mojo..

 

Hopefully we will see Weeks return like last year after injury.

They said a couple of days ago that he would be out all series and that his toe was really swollen. Don't know any updates or anything but they said a couple days ago he should be ready Monday.

[pitchleague]

I heard his toe is hyperextended and was extremely puffed up and swollen on Friday. The plan was for him to sit all weekend and see what it's like in Atlanta.

 

I didn't know Garrett Olson was a lefty.

[And That]

I didn't know Garrett Olson was a lefty.

He's not... he just figured out that if he threw left handed, Branyan would not be in the lineup.

 

[SlideBernieSlide]

Its a lefty today and another one in Atlanta on Monday (Jo-Jo). So Billy will get some at-bats.

[BrewCrewForever]

That is awesome And That. And it is probably true.

 

Hopefully for Bill Hall's sake and the teams sake his hit last night can get him going. If he can mash lefties with the way Branyan is mashing righties we'll be in great shape.

 

[TeeJayh1980]

whats up with the lack of games in HD lately? Come friggin' on FSN.

[Glennron]

Good start for Parra.

[PeaveyFury]

Man Billy, throw the ball home!

[trwi7]

And Rickie's defense costs us an out.

[PeaveyFury]

Manny needs to throw strikes, and Rickie needs to not botch plays on defense.

[Glennron]

Parra is doing his best Suppan impression, a boat load of pitches in the first.

 

I see Weeks's good luck has continued.

[trwi7]

Somebody should tell Brian that Braun went 5th in the draft, not 7th. Somebody should also tell him not to sound like an arrogant ass talking down to the viewers about the draft when he doesn't know about the draft.

[trwi7]

Manny just doesn't have it today. Hope the offense shows up or we're going to lose.

[JET15]

Geez, Manny is not being Manny today

[JET15]

E3!

[TeeJayh1980]

I would not shed a tear if Prince and Weeks were both traded.

[saget]

Prince is so bad at 1B it's absurd

[trwi7]

Hey Prince, how about you stop completely sucking on defense.

[jjfanec]

Ned had a right to argue those calls. That pitch was called a strike on Rickie in the first. Prince is hard to watch field sometimes.

[GoudaBrew]

Yeesh. This is looking like one of those games that I should just turn off right now before I punch something.

[hurricanecrush]

Nice D Prince. I'm watching the game with my son and asked him how old he was when he was coached to pick up a bunt with his bare hand. He said "about 7". Prince not only picked it up with the glove once but twice on the same play.

 

Frustrating.

[PeaveyFury]

Manny doesn't seem to have any control at all over any pitch other than his fastball. The Brewers need to end this outing quick, or this game is going to get out of hand fast.
