It really is amazing how long of a leash Yuni has. Today seems like a perfect day to get Counsell in at SS and Green in at 3B. I would bet if we had won atleast one of the first two that RR would have emptied the bench today. But since he really wants the W; he is keeping all the regulars out there.

[davemakovec]

Just win. One game puts the Cardinals back in a huge hole.

[Raw Biz]

I expect McGehee will get the starts tomorrow and Saturday as well. But Green had better get a start on Sunday. I don't think asking for one start a week is too much.

It would be Saturday, if anything (vs. RHP Norris). Wandy Rodriguez pitches Sunday, and there's no way RR is running Green out there in his first start vs. a LHP.

When will it be announced that Chris Carpenter is going to start this game?

Didn't look at the pitching matchups. Then I would guess that Green won't get a start until at least Monday.

Dear Brewers,

 

My hand is hovering over the Emergency Panic button. Please make me take it away. I would not like to be forced to press it.

 

Thanks

[pebadger]

OK, last chance to make a run to the Qwikie Mart before putting in a tough shift in front of the TV this afternoon/tonight.

Wont this still be premature? The Cardinals will have to double sweep us to have a chance at the division..we still have a 8.5 game lead (still biggest divisional lead in MLB) with 25 games left. If the Cardinals don't double sweep us, their only chance to come back is if Grienke, Gallardo, and Marcum all completely fall apart or get injured. Meanwhile, the Cardinals starting rotation is not good. With that in mind, it seems extremely unlikely that they can string together enough wins, along with us going on a long skid, to win the division. I think we should be more worried about how soon Rickie will be back for two reasons; 1) so he has enough time to get back to 'normal' before the playoffs start, and 2) so RR can start giving Hairston starts at SS (wishful thinking).

Considering Taylor Green has probably faced Dickson more than once in the minors, and might be the only one on the team who has, I thought today would be his first start as well.

 

(Or at least I was hoping it would be.)

Davey and Craig are having a rough go this afternoon, sounds like they are drunk.

[dlk9s]

For those of you out of state, the game is the free game of the day on MLB.tv.

[Raw Biz]

Why does Furcal own the Brewers?

[dlk9s]

By the way, we might not have the whole "struggle against pitcher making his debut" as Dickson has pitched 4 innings in relief. Phew!

[fondybrewfan]

For Cripes Sake

[dlk9s]

What in the holy hell?

[DuWayne Steurer]

You have to be kidding me....

[pretendastronaut]

Why does Furcal own the Brewers?

 

Ya, I haven't looked it up, but it seems the only positives he's provided the Cardinals since the trade, have come against the Brewers.

He's mad we valuated him lower than Betancourt.

 

Edit: Sorry, that was supposed to be in response to the statement that Furcal is a Brewers' killer.

[bucksman4]

That's the one critique I have of Melvin this year: not going harder after Furcal knowing that Yuni was not the answer. And of course, he becomes a Brewer killer as soon as he arrives in STL.

[B2k1121]

The Brewers could have traded for Furcal and never played him and won atleast 2 more games.

[Warning Track Power]

I guess we should have traded for Furcal at the deadline.

[pebadger]

Go Badgers.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I think I saw this tv show before...........
