It's another pitching matchup that on the surface favors the Brewers, as Kyle Lohse has been on the bad side of mediocre this year.

 

MLB.com preview:

It'd be huge to take two out of three here, basically canceling out the series loss against Colorado at Miller Park.

 

And yes, while Coors Field and PNC Park have not been kind to the Brewers, after today, the road trip is seven games against two teams a combined 32 games under .500.

 

Speaking of getting ahead of ourselves http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif , it gets a bit repetitive, but it's worth saying again -- the wild-card leaders have exactly one fewer loss than the Brewers do. Here's your wild-card standings and focus in on that loss column -- heck, with Friday's doubleheader, the Crew can finally start making up these "games-in-hand":

Enjoy your Sunday, folks!

Kinda curious to see red-hot Keith Ginter out of the lineup. At least Brady Clark's absence continues... 

 MILWAUKEE MINNESOTA AVG HR RBI AVG HR RBI Scott Podsednik CF .253 9 25 Cristian Guzman SS .274 3 20 Junior Spivey 2B .286 6 26 Doug Mientkiewicz 1B .240 3 18 Geoff Jenkins LF .257 10 42 Lew Ford LF .319 9 39 Lyle Overbay 1B .337 8 53 Matt Lecroy DH .276 6 18 Ben Grieve RF .275 4 18 Torii Hunter CF .263 10 34 Jeff Liefer DH .231 1 5 Jacque Jones RF .257 13 43 Bill Hall 3B .259 5 27 Michael Cuddyer 3B .253 5 25 Craig Counsell SS .248 1 11 Henry Blanco C .199 4 15 Chad Moeller C .225 3 16 Luis Rivas 2B .279 4 17 Doug Davis LHP (7-5, 3.28) Kyle Lohse RHP (2-5, 5.32)

Today's lineups are brought to you by Henry Blanco, who is hoping to "top" Gary Bennett with a sub-.200 batting average.

 

Go team.

We're gonna lose (says my Brain, not my heart)

 

#1- we stink on sundays

#2- we stink during day games

#3- we stink against bad pitchers

 

Based on the above, I predict a 5-1 loss.... but, should the baseball gods smile on us today, i could possibly see a 3-2 win... (winning run scoring on a wild pitch)

I know you can't gave an error on an attempt to rob a homerun, but it looked like Torrii Hunter just tanked that one. He made it look like an easy catch that was dropped.

 

Anyway, HR for Overbay.

LOL Tom...

 

Hopefully this one ends up being a 2-0 final! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

 

Whats up with Doug Davis and the extra base hits today... didn't he have a streak or something going of innings without an XBH, or was that just not allowing a HR?

 

Dougie continues to pitch out of jams though, what can i say

 

GO CREW!

Anybody think Ginter may play better when he has to fight for a spot? When he gets a starting job it seems like he presses too much, but if he's coming in off the bench or spot starting he does much better. Is it a coincidence he's heating up now that Helms is close to returning? Maybe, but it's interesting to discuss anyway.

That wasn't an intentional walk was it?? Let's go, Lyle.
