Game Thread #59: Diamondbacks (32-26) at Brewers (30-28)

Finally, that record is starting to look respectable.  It's a bummer that our 7-1 streak coincides with an even better run from the Cubs, but ultimately, it doesn't matter how much ground we make up during on hot streaks, it matters how many games we win.  We're now on pace for an 84-win season.  That won't be good enough for the postseason, but it's a big improvement on where we were at a week ago.

Game time tonight is 7:05 CT, and it's Randy Johnson against Seth McClung.  Here's the BR Game Preview, which tells you that Kendall has an 807 career OPS against the Big Unit.  Now that Kendall can't hit very well and RJ isn't the same pitcher he once was, all bets are off...but I'm betting on Seth.

Go Brewers!

opposing lineup

includes only two .300+ hitters (.300, .303). I thought the diamondbacks were supposed to be better than that. are these their scrubs?

by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 3, 2008 7:00 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

their goodness

is more attributable to Brandon Webb and Dan Haren.

the offense is well-balanced, though.

Remember when Shouse was a LOOGY

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

Huntsville's winning 9-3

Salome is having a monster night: 2-3 with a HR, 5 RBI, and 2 BB.

He's extremely quick and good.

Eating his spinach, I guess.

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

My first day he is on my fantasy team

I traded Morneau, Kazmir and Kevin Gregg, for Prince and Bedard… I hope it works out!

They didn't need that extra run

If Hall really cared about the team, he would have gotten a hit in a game where they needed the run

Arizona's fall

I feel for their fans, who are experiencing the 2007 Brewers season. If (knock on wood), we hang on here, they are just one game better than us despite their incredible start, and the Brewers mediocre play.

NL West

has something to do with it (soft), along with their (afaik) home-biased schedule

Could the Cubs finally lose?

End of 2, still no score

The Brewers look solid

Hopefully they can continue this run the next week or so, and keep the momentum the rest of the season
