Game Thread #44: Brewers (NSFW) at Red Sox (26-19)
The matchup is Carlos Villanueva and Josh Beckett. No, that's not lopsided at all!
Here's the BR Game Preview. Fun fact of the day: In 14 PAs, David Ortiz has a 2.615 OPS against Seth McClung, including three homers in consecutive at-bats against him. Wow. Bring on DiFelice!
Game time is 12:35 CT.
Go Brewers!

Beckett, eh?
Let’s send out the sunday lineup on this one. Cameron, Weeks and Hall aren’t going to have a lot of fun out there.

Brewers record
I see Jeff is trying to increase site traffic with today’s Brewers’ record. Imagine some poor teenager doing his first Google search for NSFW and ending up here!

Yikes
Beckett’s getting some room low. That’s bad news for Brewers hitters.

Cameron double
The Brewers aren’t going to give him the K record…he’ll have to earn it.

on fire. Finally a good start to a game!

We’ll have to have a heart to heart though. The Brewers never take me out anymore, and they never buy me flowers. When’s the last time they told me that they love me?

about him being on the hot seat
only they called it “spotlight” and refuse to call it hot seat. Of course one point they brought up was the 24 news cycle and blogs. So I guess it’s our fault the Brewers have underperformed so far this year.

I suppose
I’m no huge Yost fan, but it’s really not fair to give him all of the blame for 2008 so far. Some has to go to the players, some to the GM (too many righties?), and just some bad luck (Yo).

Speaking from a position of authority
As an anonymous, hate-filled Internet blogger from firenedyost.com: None of this season has been Yost’s fault.

agreed
he hasn’t been bad this year outside of his quotes and interviews. My signature has more to do with the Crew’s slow start.

to get the “national” take on the Brewers so I like having the games on ESPN and TBS every once in a while.
