8/7/05 Brewers(Ohka) @ Phillies(Padilla) 12:35 CST

[Giraldo8]

My first game thread. Brew crew looks to climb back to .500 while also enjoying a winning roadtrip.

 

 

Pitching Matchup:

 

T. Ohka (6-6, 4.07)

V. Padilla (5-10, 5.19)

 

 

Lets Go Crew

[brettac1]

Got a feeling there's going to be some runs on the board today. Usually this feeling means a low scoring game.

[Giraldo8]

I'm excited to see the lineup Ned puts out today. My preference would be Branyan,Hardy and Weeks.

[brettac1]

My preference is any lineup that includes Branyan. But, since he played last night, we will certainly be treated to the hacktastic ways of Bill Hall.

[Giraldo8]

I may go going "clancy" with this one but wouldn't mind seeing Hall in CF to give Clark a rest, and to see if he can play out there 10-15 times a year.

 

I know this will never happen was just hopin

[Weirdos19]

Probably get Magruder in center. Ugh.

 

Anybody else is fine with me.

[burniebrewer]

Branyan at 3rd today.....it's official.

Somebody else can put up the "pretty" lineups. There's your link above to the starting lineups.

[BrewCrewForever]

Gotta make it a 4-2 roadtrip heading back home with a 56-56 record. Maybe we can see the Ohka from his Brewer debut against TB, and the offense from the Mets series.

[RoseBowlMtg]

Hopefully Ohka will continue his success vs the Phillies and our hitters can tee off in this bandbox. Let's get a good 9 run output today to get fired up for the Cards!

WILDCARD UPDATE florida 1 reds 0 top 2

[steve267268]

YES.. it's Daron and Bill on Extra Innings..

 

I'm sorry but even though we have some gripes with them.. i can't really stand anybody else..

 

Actually, there are a couple i like.. but most have that one guy who just sounds so pompous and homerish

 

The mets guys were pretty good.. not the MSG ones.. the other ones.. i know they had two different broadcast teams depending on which channel got the game..

 

I don't think i like the Phillies announcers.. I certainly hate the white sox announcers...

[bsglorydays]

PLAY BALL!

[Weirdos19]

On XM Radio, they broadcast the home team's announcers. Sometimes it's nice to hear what other teams have to say about our players.

 

Loved listening to the Mets beat the Cubs yesterday. That was fun.

 

Go get 'em boys.

[markwitx]

I am also listining on xm and the phillies radio guys sound pretty good.

[markwitx]

not a good start for brady.& ricky

[Weirdos19]

Rickie needs to take it easy. He's trying to kill the ball.

[MatttyJay]

love to see Rickie pop up the first pitch he sees

[RoseBowlMtg]

I hope Padilla throws that flat heater all game!

[markwitx]

8 pitch first inning, not good

[Weirdos19]

Feel one of those "Flat Sundays" coming on.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Come on Ohka. We need a good effort today.

[MatttyJay]

maybe it's the quick turnaround night game to day game? they often seem very flat on sundays

[markwitx]

K for Toma

[ThePurpleStorm]

Okha has been in a pattern of good starts, bad start, good start. Hopefully he keeps it up for today. Good start so far.

[ThePurpleStorm]

I take that back.
