I used all three of my emails and voted the max for Weeks, Braun (doesn't need it), Fielder (probably doesn't need anymore with the great news about Pujols), and Lucroy. Did my part, so hopefully this homestand can get some sellouts and get some votes for Rickie.

By my review of the numbers, Narv has given up 7 HRs all season. Of those, 6 were with men on base and 5 with more than one runner on base.

During his last start, I checked the game logs and I think I came up with 2 grand slams and 4 3-run homers.

This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.

This should be an interesting series, my 2 favorite franchises and a player in Niemann that I beat the drum to acquire in 2008.

I really love our line up against RHP. Well, I really wish we had just an average short stop, but besides that, this is a really solid 1-9 especially with my confidence in McGehee growing every game.

I can't believe Yuni is in the top 5 of SS in the NL in voting. What does that say about SS in the NL? Brewers fans? Yuni's mainstream appeal?
It says that Brewers fans really like clicking the mouse and punching the ballots.

 

Go Brewers. Keep things in check, Narvdog.

 

Edit: Just got the updated lineups...I'll edit the lead post shortly and even get the teams on the right sides!

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Just heard Ryan Braun is out with a respiratory infection, Kotsay in left and Corey Hart batting 3rd

Is a respiratory infection bad, usually how long is someone out with that?
Depends. Could be a cold, could be the flu, could be something in between. You'd think something a bit more disruptive than a common cold, since Ryan is not playing.

 

Edit: The media guide confirms that this is Tampa Bay's first trip to Milwaukee for a series, and only the second series overall between the two teams.

Antibiotics will cure it 95% of the time within a week, probably just a couple days. He'll probably be available as a pinch hitter today if necessary, maybe miss 1 or 2 more games but they can probably manage it with medication to cover the symptoms in the short term until the antibiotics kick in.
