7/2/08 Brewers (McClung) at Diamondbacks (Petit), 8:40 PM CDT

No fancy graphics, but I have a proposition for you. Every time Brian and Bill mention "McClung Math" tonight, you have to vote 25 times for Braun. That means you'll probably need to register at least 5 new e-mail accounts to do it, but it'll be worth it! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

No Braun tonight. Perhaps he's spending the night creating fake email addresses to vote for himself...or just a night off because he's had a rough week.

 

Lineups:

 

Counsell

Hardy

Hart

Fielder

Branyan

Kapler

Cameron

Kendall

McClung

 

 

Ojeda

Drew

Hudson

Jackson

Tracy

Young

Upton

Montero

Petit

I believe Braun's last hit was the RBI single in the first inning of Saturday's game, or an 0 for 18 stretch if you're scoring at home.

[JET15]

These West Coast trips are the pits. I can't stay awake at work with these late starts. Play Ball!

[crewcrazy]

Obligatory with every McClung start:

I thought Owings was supposed to pitch tonight for the Snakes -- did he get scratched from the start? Either way, I hope we get Fake Seth McClung tonight and not the Real Seth McClung that showed up in Minnesota (please no walks and keep the ball down).

 

Edit: Sitting Braun for a day definitely makes sense, considering how bad he's been lately. Here's a breakdown of how the Brewers have been hitting the past week...lots of guys struggling:

How about we drink everytime they mention #4 tonight?

[ELCABALLO45]

The "Bat Corey Hart everywhere in the order tour" continues tonight as he shows why he is that good.

[burniebrewer]

Owings was scratched with "some kind of back problem" according to Tom Haudricort.

[BCZF]

Trenni lookin nice and haggard... Sigh.....

[crewcrazy]

Jeff Cirillo is pretty much openly pleading with the Brewers to let him replace Bill Hall at third with these batting demos on Brewers Live, isn't he? It's been fun to watch, but there's a hint of "please let me play again" in his voice. He did admit to Jim Powell on the radio prior to the Twins series that he has been calling around the league to see if anyone has any interest...

[ELCABALLO45]

Sabathia has given up 2 home runs in the 1st. Gotta love him helping us out http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[burniebrewer]

Trenni lookin nice and haggard... Sigh.....

How could Trenni ever look haggard? Hitting the beer tents at Summerfest all day?

 

[ELCABALLO45]

Trenni: Vote for Ryan Braun

 

Me: I will vote for Ryan Braun, I will vote for Ryan Braun (drool)

[Yeti73]

I'm a little worried, considering we're playing against a reliever tonight.

[sauveb]

A pitcher we should be able to hit. The Brewers recipe for a sure loss.

[jhart05]

Anyone else listening to Uke and Yount right now?

 

Edit: Well now they are just talking about the Robinaide.

 

But before they had a pretty good "skit" going on.

[kiwi brewer]

no what's up with uke and yount?

 

and seth is getting hit HARD so far. eesh.

[hawing]

Anyone else listening to Uke and Yount right now?

Yeah, they're giving virtually no play-by-play. Oh, wait, that was a base hit for the D-backs.

 

This plant Robin's talking about, where the Robinade is bottled, is right along Fish Hatchery Road in Madison.

[jhart05]

It was just funny.

 

Yount stopped talked and was trying to tell Uke to call the play on the field.

 

Uke was like, you tellin' me what to do? On my show? My broadcast?

 

 

Something like that...

[trwi7]

Oh look, it's the Seth McClung we were all expecting.

[brewers19]

This cannot end well.

[jhart05]

Craig Counsell.

 

What a gritty gamer.

[burniebrewer]

Seth ain't fooling them right now.

[kiwi brewer]

i continue to be impressed with kendall. hopefully he won't fracture a testicle anytime soon.

[burniebrewer]

C'mon Seth, could be a long night.
