Game Thread #157
Counsell: War's over, man. Yost dropped the big one.
Prince: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Braun: Germans?
Hardy: Forget it, he's rolling.
Prince: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard]
Prince: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[runs out of clubhouse, alone; then returns]
Prince: What the f*** happened to the Brewers I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Prince, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Piniella, he's a dead man! Soriano, dead! Zambrano...
Braun: Dead! Prince's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Prince: We're just the guys to do it.
Counsell: Let's do it.
Prince: LET'S DO IT!
-Adapted from Animal House (1978)
So the outlook is rather bleak for the Brewers, but it still only takes one streak and little luck to win the division. I'm not very lucky so I doubt this game thread will help them too much, but I am a good jinx, and I'm currently sitting in Chicago. Hopefully my thought beams will help us pick up a game tonight.

No doubt!
AND BTW: Cubs matchups this week.
Lilly (15-7) Willis (9-15)
Marquis (12-8) Barone (1-3)
Trachsel (7-10) Olsen (9-15)
Hill (10-8) Arroyo (9-14)
Zambrano (17-13) Harang (16-5)
Lilly (15-7) Bailey (3-2)

I know it is a long shot right now but...
On the other hand, the Cubs have to face Willis, Arroyo, Harang, and an interesting pitcher in Homer Bailey. The Reds have played well against the Cubs this year and hit Zambrano very well who is supposed to be matched up with Harang.
We probably have to go 6-0 to even tie the Cubs but I could definitely see the Cubs going 3-3 on this road trip.

Let me ask you this
Is that a pitcher you have to face or a pitcher you get to face?
One of the things that makes me made about the media is the constant hyping of Willis even though he has slipped into at best a 4 or 5 starter. If you are saying they have to face Willis, then say they have to face Barone too because he has a 5.30 ERA and 1.63 WHIP.

Could be a bargain for somebody
If Willis could find himself somewhere else next year, I think he'd have a shot at comeback player of the year.

The Line up per JSonline
SS J.J. Hardy
3B Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
LF Geoff Jenkins
CF Bill Hall
C Damian Miller
RHP Jeff Suppan
I was going to make a joke here about how apparently Rivera had killed Yost's dog or just hated Dale E. but then I remembered that supposedly Miller is Suppan's personal catcher.

Speaking of Rock
4-2 ball game and Billy hits a 3-run shot to make it a (pause) 7-1 game.
So apparently Hall's HR gave us 3 runs and took one away from the Cards. That's a big hit!
