"They were always kind of rival when they were back in the American League I think they'd pack the place up with cheeseheads and that kind of stuff." -- Wisconsin native Brad Radke, scheduled to start Saturday for the Twins

Let's pound this guy and his Twinkie teammates into the astro turf.

Less than 7 hours til first pitch!!!!!! I wonder who the DH will be!! I can't wait for the lineups to be announced.

 

I'm predicting:

 

Clark CF

Cirillo 3B

Jenkins RF

Lee LF

Overbay 1B

Miller C

Magruder DH

Hardy SS

[PrimetimeHater]

Does anyone else really hate interleague play?? I don't know why...I guess it's because I just can't stand AL style of play, but I would really like to just see interleague play eliminated.

[mikerollins]

I actually really like seeing different teams and think it is one of Bud Selig's greatest accomplishments as commisioner (along with adding the wild card teams and cracking down on steroids).

[BuckyTuba]

i expect this lineup:

 

8 clark

4 spivey

9 jenkins

7 lee

3 overbay

2 miller

DH branyan

5 cirillo

6 hardy

[brettac1]

I'd rather see Branyan at 3B, but maybe it's just me.

Given how he's looked there during the Washington series, I definiately do NOT share that sentiment.

[LS Brewer]

I'd also rather see Branyan at third just so we can get Hall into the lineup.

[brewerjamie15]

This would be cool for today:

 

8= Clark

4= Hall

9= Jenks

7= Lee

3= O

2= Miller

5= 3TO

DH= Helms (sorry)

6= Hardy

 

yeah, that right I said it! Helms at D.H.! If you're gonna play A.L. style, you may as well use that type of line up.

I like interleague play, but I have to side with Dusty Baker (gasp) on one thing, it's not fair to have the Brewers get 6 games against the Twins, while the Cards get 6 against the Royals. Ok Dusty was talking Cubs/Sox, but the problem is the same.

 

The last thing we need is to give the Cards an extra 2-3 games on the rest of the division.

For what its worth...

 

Brewers lifetime averages vs Carlos Silva

 

Carlos Lee: 6-18, .813 OPS

Junior Spivey: 3-6, 1.071 OPS

Geoff Jenkins: 2-5, .800 OPS

Damian Miller: 1-3, 1.000 OPS

Brady Clark: 1-3, .833 OPS

Lyle Overbay: 1-2, 1.000 OPS

Russell Branyan: 0-1

Bill Hall: 0-1

Wes Helms: 0-3

 

Brewers collectively hitting vs Silva: 15 for 47, .319/.360/.447/.807, only 4 Ks

 

Stats are from only 1 or two games, with the exception of Carlos. Interesting to note, it seems that Carlos has really handled Twins pitching well in the past. Including very nice numbers against both Radke and Santana.

Wow, those numbers certainly make me feel better about tonights game. I'd be absolutely thrilled if they took 2 from them, but realistically, I say 1.

[Brian the Automator]

The DH and articifical turf tonight? Clancy, this must be heaven for you.

[BuckyTuba]

i'd actually like to see helms get a spot at DH for one of these games... he's been hitting decently in may

[Diskono]

Wrong wes, guys. Obermueller for DH!

[burniebrewer]

Your DH is Branyan tonight, Cirillo batting #2 at 3B. I still can't get the whole code thing right either, so you'll have to wait for the entire lineups.

GO BREWERS

[Bruce Ciskie]

I don't know if they're showing it on the Brewers' FSN feed, but Bert Blyleven and Bill Schroeder played wiffleball on the Metrodome Plaza. It was kind of funny. It's easy to see why Schroeder was a catcher (he didn't hit well) and why Blyleven was a pitcher (neither did he). http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif
