We're not 24-10. But hey, neither are the Cardinals!
If you go back through the game threads I've posted for Brewers/Cards games over the last year or so, you'll find a lot of comments to the effect of, "There's no way this converted reliever is this good." I am officially done making such comments. I still kind of believe it, but...I don't know. Dave Duncan: You win this round.
Todd Wellemeyer, one of the many guys who should probably tithe 50% of his future earnings to the Church of Duncan, starts for the Cards against Manny Parra, who right now isn't convincing me he's going to have much in the way of future earnings.
The lineup is back to normal, and you can see all the matchups in the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

If the Brewers game gets to depressing
Make sure to check out the Sounds game tonight….
Mark DiFelice is the starting pitcher.
If he looks good, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a shot. On the other hand I heard Melvin suggested McClung might get a shot in the rotation. With McClung doing pretty well in the long reliever spot, I really think we’d be better off leaving him there though.
He's the round mound of profound
by drezdn on May 9, 2008 6:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed, on both counts.
The thought of McClung starting makes me nervous, though I suppse he could go 4 innings and give up 5-7 runs, which is about on par with a lot of the guys we’re running out there right now.
Go Brewers!
Doug, please fire Ned.
Love,
Everyone.

He doesn't look ready to be a starter to me
but he hasn’t given up many runs. Take out Cincy and he’s got 7 appearances, 13 innings and 2 earned runs. Of course its not completely fair to take out the clinker.
by ol Pete on May 9, 2008 6:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Me neither.
But frankly Bush and Villy don’t look ready to be starters right now either.
Doug, please fire Ned.
Love,
Everyone.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on May 9, 2008 6:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
if there's any chance he'd be good as a starter
I’d be open to trying him.
If you mean that “he looks good as a long reliever, but not good enough to transition to starting,” then it makes sense. If you mean, “he looks good as a long reliever and we need somebody good in the long reliever spot,” I beg to differ—if he’d be any improvement at all over bush/parra/whoever as a starter, I’d rather give McC the shot at the rotation and put Bush or whoever in the garbage innings.
Also, cheese.
by Jeff Sackmann on May 9, 2008 6:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think he’s effective as a long reliever, but he would bring the same 5/6th inning troubles other pitchers have.
He's the round mound of profound

Richie Sexson got whacked.
Six game suspension for rushing the mound. That seems like a lot to me, though maybe I’m wrong on that. Maybe they tacked on a couple of games because the ball wasn’t actually anywhere near him.
Doug, please fire Ned.
Love,
Everyone.

there may be some suspension inflation going on, too
it’s a foregone conclusion that he’ll protest, and it’ll be reduced. So a 6-gamer is the only way to ensure he’ll get 3 or 4.
Also, cheese.

That and sissy punishment
My guess is Bud was embarrassed at the brawl and tacked on a few more games for his sissy throw of his helmet.
I was at a store today and they showed the highlights of Richie, everyone laughed at him, he looked more a tool then a bad ass.

Who among us
would not have wanted to charge the mound at the sight of watching the putrid Brewers baseball of the last 6 games? Seattle has been just as bad lately. Now imagine that you were living and breathing it every day in the clubhouse and on the team plane and bus. In addition imagine that you were grossly under performing at your job? I understand why he charged the mound. Still, the pitch wasn’t close to him and the helmet chuck was rookie league.

The call from BA
Rickie drives one into left. That’s a base hit. And this ball game is over!!!!

Just happy to feel good after a game for a change
Can't pitch Gagne in rain. He’s like the B-2 bomber of baseball.--TheJay

Weird
The Twins just beat Boston in pretty much the same way. Down by a run, 2 outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd…game-winning base hit to left for a home walkoff win.

Yeah, I watched it live
I love mlb.tv. Carlos Gomez is really, really fast.
He's extremely quick and good.

I was there
Papelbon was aware of baserunners but you know how he is with pickoffs, and Varitek would have had no chance whatsoever.
Now that’s no excuse for letting Delmon Young run all over the place….
