Game Thread #31b

I really would not like to be swept by the Astros. Fortunately, Ben Sheets probably feels the same way. He's matching up with Chris Sampson, which normally wouldn't feel like a fair fight, but this weekend, it seems like Houston has been spotted three home runs per game.
I answered some questions for the SBN Astros blogger; you can read what I have to say here. And here's the BR Game Preview. The action starts at 1:05 CT.
Project-a-tron gives the Brewers a 57.43% shot at winning today's contest. That's about the same margin by which it favored the Astros in the opener, and we all know how that turned out.
Go Brewers!
Old one got too slow

And with the pitcher in Lee’s spot if it gets around to that part of teh order again we can potentially walk Berkman.
