The game is also on ESPN.

 

If Milwaukee wins only one game this series, this would be the most likely.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I was looking at the forecasts for this series, because of the 2 rainouts we've already had. Rain is predicted for both tomorrow and Wednesday. Tomorrow looks like it might rain all day. We could see yet another rainout or at least some rain dealys, but we shall see I guess. Hopefully we get this win tonight.

[Invader3K]

You can't throw around "must win" this early in the season, but it would be nice to snap the four game losing skid before facing Roy Halladay and then Cliff Lee.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Gomez hitting 2nd...........ugh.

 

I know Morgan's hurt, but stop hitting Gomez 2nd.

[logan82]

I wonder about the flipping of Betancourt and Kotsay in the order. Really means nothing but they were flipped.

[ninja33]

Gomez hitting 2nd...........ugh.

 

I know Morgan's hurt, but stop hitting Gomez 2nd.

I'm not saying I'm happy about it.....but who else is going to hit 2nd? Yuni? I guess you could try and make a case for Lucroy...but I think at this point you just have to roll with Gomez in the 2 hole until Morgan and/or Hart get healthy. The brewer bench is just awful...there just aren't any other options there at the moment.

[GormanHarvey]

I never thought I'd be happy to see Kotsay starting in RF, but knowing the current alternatives, I am

[umphrey]

It sucks only having 4 guys that can hit in the lineup

 

Lee or Halladay would embarrass this lineup

[crewcrazy]

Philly's lineup isn't nearly as imposing without Utley in there. I get the feeling Marcum will do well, especially if he can locate his changeup.

[young guns]

Dear Brewers,

Please score more runs than the Phils.

 

Dear Morgan's bruise,

Go away

 

Yours truly,

Young Guns

[chickinbrickin]

Philly's lineup isn't nearly as imposing without Utley in there. I get the feeling Marcum will do well, especially if he can locate his changeup.

 

Agree, I think Marcum is going to play the stopper role for the Crew today.

 

 

Too bad Gamel can't play in the OF. I would love to have him on the team instead of Almonte or Kotsay. He has been killing it at Nashville so far this year.

[dlk9s]

Remember what happened after the first time the Brewers got swept? Ok, well, they lost another game, but after that I mean.

The good news is that Roenicke basically said that Morgan would be playing ahead of Gomez if he was healthy. The bad news is that he doesn't think Gomez is bad.

[BrewCrewForever]

I feel bad for Braun, he is hitting so well and could have more RBI's, but you know Carlos Gomez is hitting in front of him with his .196 BA and .250 OBP. Yikes. Morgan can't comeback soon enough to play CF and bat 2nd.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Roenicke said he thought Morgan would be ready today, so you have to figure it won't take much longer. I hope he can play tomorrow, because I really don't wanna see Gomez batting against Roy Halladay.

[jason21nl]

The only broadcaster worse than Phil Simms is Rick Sutcliffe

[gypcasino]

That Ho Chunk commercial where the guy knocks his chips over enrages me.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Man, I hate Gomez.

[Raw Biz]

Are people watching the FSW or ESPN broadcast? I usually like to hear what the national commentators think, even though they're probably mad that the Red Sox and Yankees aren't playing in this game.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'd hit Braun 2nd, and Fielder 3rd, and McGehee 4th. Seriously.

[jason21nl]

I'm watching ESPN even though I seriously can't stand Rick Sutcliffe

[GormanHarvey]

Nice AB Prince, wow. Let's go Marcum!

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm watching the FSW for right now. Just switched over to ESPN to see who was announcing. Don't really wanna listen to them, so I'll stick with FSW.

[Funketown]

Nice surprise tonight, the ESPN broadcast isn't blacked out here in Iowa. This is my first chance to watch Marcum this season, and after just that one at bat, I have to say I like the guy.
