Game Thread #84: Brewers (45-38) at D-backs (42-42)
Matchup is Seth McClung and Yusmeiro Petit. We're back within 5 of the division lead, but as long as the Cubs are playing the Giants, we'll need to keep winning to stay there.
Game time is 8:40 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

I figured I was pushing my luck just posting it though, without calling attention to the risque cropping.

Question:
Can the voting mechanism computer things verify the IP address of one’s computer? Wouldn’t that than make multiple e-mail addresses worthless?
I just want to make sure..

Pat Venditte, the favorite Yankee prospect of BCB (is there such an animal?) inspired a rule change
The pitcher must visually indicate to the umpire, batter and runner(s) which way he will begin pitching to the batter. Engaging the rubber with the glove on a particular hand is considered a definitive commitment to which arm he will throw with. The batter will then choose which side of the plate he will bat from.That’s the opposite of what happened in Venditte’s (in)famous debut.
He's extremely quick and good.

Brett Wallace
The famously big-assed ASU 3B that the Cardinals drafted with the 13th pick this year is making his pro debut tonight for Quad Cities. If he had still been around when the Brewers were on the board, it would have been interesting. You’ll probably see him in the big leagues by 2010. He can really hit.
He's extremely quick and good.

No Braun tonight
Counsell replaces Weeks atop the lineup. Hart is third. Kapler gets the start in left.

Is this lineup worse than yesterdays?
The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

Yesterday's lineup wasn't bad
My only question about yesterday was having Kendall in the same lineup as Rivera, considering all the Things Happening to Catchers this week.
However, Rivera was ace at 1st, Hall had his good D glove on as well, and the actual failure point of the lineup was having Jeff Suppan involved in it.

All-Star voting ending tonight
Doesn’t “This time it counts!!!!” just encourage you to vote for the crappy players in the league that your team isn’t in? That way your league is more likely to win, and you help your team should they make the World Series. Are we supposed to have more honor than that? Because I sure don’t.

Plus the NL is at a disadvantage
Two more teams to include on the roster means more chances for the Lance Carters and Mark Redmans to clutter things up.

What I don't get about the Sox
Pedroia’s good, to be sure (wish we had him, but only if he knocks off his constant repositioning of his batting gloves) but what the heck is up with Daisuke Matsuzaka? Right now, he’s walked four, given up two hits, and managed to only give up one run. That defense behind him must be something else or he’s just been incredibly lucky this year.

From Rotoworld
Pirates placed RHP Matt Capps on the 15-day disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder and internal rotation deficit.
Isn’t an “internal rotation deficit” what forced the Yankees to sign Sidney Ponson?

His command is iffy
They keep saying he has a “dead arm”. I guess it’s a good thing that he’s still sitting at 93 and touching 95 with a dead arm. Getting the hit batter/inning ratio below two would be good.
He's extreme
