Game Thread #110: Brewers (60-49) at Braves (50-58)

in Game Threads
The matchup tonight is Jeff Suppan and Chuck James. Apparently the lineup-juggling (including Corey sitting) will continue, so maybe by the beginning of next week, Ned will have taken all of the good hitters out of the lineup.
Game time is 6:30 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Cameron
But he brings all that veteran leadership and gold glove to the field that Ned loves oh so much.

Weeks
Here’s hoping he learned something from last night:
Hence my decision to call it "screwing around" as opposed to "in-depth study."

Can't fall behind..
Good news is Cubs got shut out at home. So we can’t fall any further back.

I think I'm going to make it
I toyed with taking an Alcoholics Anonymous approach to the next few days. Just make it very clear that I don’t want to “imbibe” in any Brewers games, highlights, news. Just kind of go about my life with a firm, 12-step commitment to “getting clean.”
Of course, that plan fell apart when I realized I’d fall off the wagon and start yelling pretty soon about failing to figure out Jorge Campillo’s changeup in the third time they’ve seen him this year. Are the Brewers facing him in this series?
Anyway, OK … (deep breath; in through the nose, out through the mouth) ... let’s go. Back at it here.

Could be worse
Just hoping seeing a guy for the third time might help a bit.

Hopefully the Indians don’t steal our future supply of GRIT

In addition to being pretty gritty and full of intangibles, he’s also good!

lol...Ned the stats man
“Although he had intentions of sitting Hart another day, Yost said the decision to play him on Friday was made easier because the Braves sent left-hander Chuck James to the mound.
“If they had a righty going today, I might have given him one more day,” Yost said. “But he’s pretty good at whacking lefties around.”
Hart is batting only five points higher (.286) against lefties this season”

He'll be fine until the 5th

Yeah, he sure did
I wanted a signature, and that was the first heckle a guy at County Stadium ever said at a game when I was a kid. My Mom laughed, knowing I was too young to understand it, so now we just laugh about it when we go to games.

Have we scored more runs tonight
than we did in the Cubs series? (Only half kidding).

Rickie
passed Cameron in batting average. It is now Rickie .227 to Cam .226

and Rickie
is still behind a little league girl in defense.

BAC
my BAC will pass .240 if we get swept by the Cubs again this year

Yep, Rock
Rickie’s problem is just that he’s too dang quick for the game. It’ his only problem, Rock.

is pitching BP. And this is just what the Crew needed. Take out some frustration on the little white ball

They'd be better off with Roger McDowell pitching
But not just yet. Let Suppan line one somewhere here to bring up Rickie for the Weeks-Cameron Batting Average Shootout ‘08

Still so way to go
to match the Braves average for the last 6 games.
They have given up 53 runs in the last 6, a bit different from the 90’s with Maddux,Glavine,Smoltz etc
by Saltire on Aug 1, 2008 7:27 PM CDT 0 recs
Uh, Rickie ...
... are you bowing out of the Weeks-Cameron Batting Average Shootout ‘08?
Still, all called third strikes will be fun tonight. Who is this guy behind the plate? I couldn’t find an ump listing on Gamecast or Gameday.

If it’s possible to have a favorite umpire, I’ve just accomplished the task.
C’mon Suppan. Let’s get somebody looking here.
