in Game Threads
It's Doug Davis and Jeff Suppan. Davis has been good in limited action this year except for a rough start last time out; Suppan has strung together some pretty nice outings of late.
Here's the BR Game Preview, and game time is 7:05 CT.
Go Brewers!

Diamondbacks LF
Arizona’s had trouble in LF this season, huh? Chris Burke is starting there tonight and hitting .164/.267/.205. $10 million man Eric Byrnes has had his issues, too, but he’s had recurring hamstring problems.

FSN Arizona
still keeping my fingers crossed that Extra Innings has the Arizona feed tonight. I am in the mood for a night of Daron and I would love to hear his take on this year’s Crew.

Or so I hear. :)

Unrelated question
I’m trying to convince my roommate that fewer runs are being scored in MLB this year than last. I think I’ve heard that explained on this site… can someone point me to a stat or two?
(PS Jenkins just hit a nice double for the Phillies. Runs scored don’t seem to be down in Philly this year.)
Last week I went to Philadelphia, but it was closed.

Phils
I was just watching that game and listening to the announcers discuss Jenks’ leg raise before the pitch

You could look at the cumulative numbers for leagues year to year
Here’s the NL page at Baseball-Reference.com and here’s the AL page. The NL is down 0.12 runs per game and the AL is down 0.50 runs per game.

I always thought a Doug Davis-Steve Trachsel matchup would be great
Awesome fodder for the “baseball is boring” crowd.

Prince
Nice steal of third there.
That’s something I didn’t foresee writing before the season.

It's nice to know
They’re not all couch potatoes.
Think Yost is trying too hard to defend against nothing at the moment?

Skaalen should put together a tape of all the unhittable pitches that he waves at

Alright
The Diamondbacks had their cheap, dink-and-dunk inning, now we’re a Corey bloop away from tying it up.

Twice, even
When did the Brewers of five years ago take the field?

I'm listening, not watching
but this sounds like lower quality baseball than the D3 world series I went to last week.
go defense!
