Game Thread # 153 Brewers (78-74) at Braves (80-73)
"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."
-Vince Lombardi
I thought it'd be good idea to bring some Lombardi luck to the Brewers.
So, I'm guessing that since the Brewers lost to Jeff Bennett that they'll definately beat the likes of Tim Hudson. Right? That's how this team plays.
Anyways, Hudson is coming off a complete game shutout against Washington but we're not Washington. I expect us to knock Hudson out around the 5th after he's give up three bombs and six runs.
For the Brewers, they counter with Villanueva. In his last 21 innings, including a 3 inning save at Arizona, he's only given up 3 runs. I like our chances tonight. Here's my guess at the lineup:
2b Weeks
Ss Hardy
3b Braun
1b Fielder
Rf Hart
Lf Jenkins
C Estrada
Cf Hall
Go Brewers!!
"A baseball blog without a game thread is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall." --- Vince Lombardi, sort of. [bumped]

Anyone have stats on that?

I don't have the exact numbers
We don't always win the series, but we never go down three. It's been critical to our success in slump times.

You heard it here first
(Comeback Player of the Year also applies.)
I'm just kidding...I don't think give out ROY awards to outfielders who trip over their own feet. I think Ryan was sweating it a little, though.

He's starting tonight against the Tigers. In other starting pitcher news, why Baltimore why?

Does Ned's mind work this way?
Counsell vs. Hudson: 6-17, 2 2B, 1 HBP
I wonder if he thinks 25 at bats spread over two players is relevant to anything.

He answered 2 of my questions...
A: Rick Braun - He's nearly ready but as I just said above, he won't be used in a game that's not decided. A question for you Ms. Simpson: Do you lip sync. And could you be attracted to an old, stocky writer?
Q: Kevin Bacon of Los Angeles, CA - Should the Brewers spend huge money on Cordero this off-season? Will Jenkins be back?
A: Rick Braun - It will cost huge money to re-sign Cordero. But if you want to win it, you have to have a closer. As for Jenkins, my guess is no.
