Is the line up out yet for today?

[Menotti80]

last few times the brewers were on ESPN = not good.

 

last time brewers were on ESPN vs St Louis = very good.

 

 

hopefully the brewers' fortunes against the cardinals outweigh their fortunes on ESPN lately...

[GormanHarvey]

Here are the line-ups per McCalvy's blog (no Hardy):

 

CARDINALS

Skip Schumaker 2B

1st game of the year for me.

Sect 126 row 6 not a clue which seats I have. I'll be in a David Weathers Jersey. (Untucked)

[naivin]

Beyond his extended struggles, Corey Hart is 1 of his last 6 with 5 strikeouts, and is 4-21 against Wainwright in his career (.190 OBP). With 2 LH hitting OFers available on the bench...why?

Not only that, but it was Soup who pitched a complete game shutout wasn't it?

[olliegjw]

Which duo will have better success tonight? Hart/Hall or Kendall/Suppan? Unfortunately, the better bet may be the latter.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Really hoping for a good game tonite. I still wish we could get some more at bats for Gamel and really hope that Hardy is going to get better soon. But i've seen worse lineups.

Like the Mets lineup tonight

 

Pagan, Castillo, Wright, Sheffield, Tatis, Martinez, Santos, Martinez, Hernandez.

 

That is just sad.

I was kinda surprised by Hall, then some one pointed out how much Suppan puts balls in play. I guess I feel a little better with Hall behind Soup then.

[hawing]

Come on, Brewers - don't give in to the mind games!

 

And Soup, you have to do better for Jamie tonight than you did the last time he attended a game you started. (I know what game that was.)

[ELCABALLO45]

Suppan that was nasty!!

[azcheesehead]

Suck on that, Albert!

[razzzorsharp]

Listening to ESPN and they gave Counsil the ultimate compliment from them...

 

"He's kind of like a left handed David Eckstein."

[senorjerm]

I appreciate Bill Hall getting the game winning hit yesterday... but why does that mean he's ready to face a tough righty?

[Bernman23]

It doesn't exactly instill confidence in one's offense having Counsell and McGehee at the top of the lineup. Get well soon JJ. Don't get too fat on pina coladas Ray.

[marquettefan13]

I thought the broadcast on ESPN was usually blacked out when the game was on FS Wisconsin. Obviously that's not the case tonight though as I'm getting the game on ESPN. What is the blackout rule?

[sargennm]

I figured Mike Cameron would be the last guy to be involved in a play like that. Yikes.

[sargennm]

Blurg, had him down 0-2, too. That's Soup.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

uh oh, who caught that HR?

 

Not again man.

I had looked during the first inning and they had some sort of racing on...at least that is what I thought I saw, but now they have the game.

Was it against the Astros last year? Or as I like to say the Geoff Blum game.

[ELCABALLO45]

Man Corey Hart.... I wish you would remember that you are pretty good.

[ELCABALLO45]

Billy vs. a righty makes me sad.

 

Come on Kendall come through here.
