04/05/06 - Pirates (Duke) @ Brewers (Ohka), 7:05 PM CT

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Your Milwaukee Brewers winners of two straight look for the sweep over the pesky pirates. After holding off a late run the brewers look to start the sophomore slump for one Zack Duke. Lineups are not out just yet but one would think that Mr. Fielder might find his way on the bench today against this tough lefty. On that same note would not be surprised to see hall back at the hot corner today. So if your going out to Miller Park or watching at home don't forget your brooms and lets start the season out right and make the pirates walk the plank!!

I would guess that Cirillo and Hall would be in, Koskie and Prince out.

 

But that's just a guess.

[The Big Cheese]

3-0, we're good to go!

[JoeH33]

If Prince doesn't get the start at first tonight, I'd rather see Hart there than Cirillo.

[bullox]

I just needed to tell the world that Gabe Gross is sporting a 5.000 OPS.

 

Ok bye.

[rluzinski]

If Prince doesn't get the start at first tonight, I'd rather see Hart there than Cirillo.

 

I wholeheartedly second that.

[Loopee]

Should be an interesting line-up today. I hope that Hall or Weeks is inserted into the 5 spot, regardless of who is playing First. I do hope Prince is still in the line-up, considering how bad he's scuffling, a day off may send the wrong signal.

 

Hart for Jenkins would be nice, but it ain't gonna happen.

[JohnBriggs12]

"Hart for Jenkins would be nice, but it ain't going to happen".

 

Nor should it. Jenkins was really seeing the ball well last night and putting good wood on it. Now is not the time to rest him. Hart needs a start, but you don't take the hot hand out of there. You give the struggling guy the night off and right now that's Fielder. If Fielder is so fragile that an off day is going to cause him to lose confidence, then he's not ready for the big leagues.

 

When Prince gets it rolling (and he will), then look elsewhere to get Hart a few starts.

Whoever was wondering about Turnbows closing song on opening day I have the answer. It is still "Fuel" by Metallica. There were only 15,000 there last night (I was there toohttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif), and people would get so pumped up about Turnbow. And the homer by Burnitz, well Ill just say 70% of fans were chanting throw it back, probally the most I've ever heard.

Also, does anyone know if we had a lot of fireworks last year opening series? Because now they have fireworks from the top of the scoreboard to centerfield, not just the booms.

[steve267268]

They do not need to sit Prince. That would be a bad move.

 

If he is just a little more patient, he'll be fine.

Bad Duke mojo.

[BrewCrewForever]

As soon as Prince gets that first hit hell be fine. Hes just pressing to much right now trying to get off the snide. I say start him against the lefty Duke.

[bucksman4]

I proposed last night after his second at bat, I believe, that Yost sit Prince against the lefty Duke. I predict a lineup of:

1) Brady CF

2) JJ SS

3) Jenks RF

4) El Caballo LF

5) Corey Hart! IB

6) Weeks 2B

7) Hall 3B

http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/glasses.gif Miller C

9) TOMO

 

 

Note: Hall and Hart could be interchanged in the order.

[JoeH33]

Here's the lineup I'd like to see

 

1. Clark

2. Hardy

3. Jenkins

4. Lee

5. Weeks

6. Hall

7. Fielder

8. Miller

9. Ohka

This had me cracking up. Subtitle, "how to know that its opening day."

[berniebrewer4life]

That pic made me laugh because i parked about 50 ft east of that picture, and had to walk by them to get to the stadium. Pretty funny. I gave a guy in line a beer, he looked like he could use one.
