This has to be the first time anyone named Scooter has better clean up, right?

[1992casey]

He's done it a couple of times this week.

Bah, I was in the hospital for a couple weeks and couldn't follow much Brewers news here in Arizona, that'll teach me to get sick during baseball season!

4th straight start for Nieuwenhuis, 2nd day off in the last 3 games for Broxton. Why?

Plus one. Makes me sick.

I think you'll see Broxton primarily against lefties.

I would be a lot more understanding about this if it were 2 years ago and we were in a pennant race.

Nice half-hearted effort by Craig to get tossed. The home plate umpire knew why he was out there and didn't have time for his shenanigans.

[dacbrewers]

Even with tonight's homer, I can't believe Flores is still on roster. He is absolutely horrible and his numbers prove it.

Manny Pina going yard was great to see. I realize he is 29 years old but maybe he can stick in MLB for awhile. He hit .329 in AAA this year, .305 the year before....

Which would be Stupid by Counsell to not play the guy with the possible future
