Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers, Aug 15, 2008 9:40 PM CDT
Those records in the headline do a pretty good job of summarize the state of the NL West and Central this year. If the Brewers were in the West, we'd be in first place by 7.5 games. (The Cubs, if suddenly relocated, would be up by 12!)
The matchup tonight is between a pair of great young pitchers: Manny Parra for us, Chad Billingsley for them. It might be a good day for Cameron to take a rest--in his 18 PAs against Billingsley, he has an OPS of .170. OPS.
Game time is 9:40 CT -- 10:40 for me on the east coast, which might mean I'll be in bed *before* the game starts. Here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

that reminds me
in high school, my american history teacher, an elderly guy, insisted that “Deep Throat” was so-named because the source had a deep voice.
I had just read the Woodward & Bernstein book, and knew that to be wrong, and argued with him—the irony being that all I knew was that it was the name of a porno…I don’t think I yet had a good grip on what the term referred to. But he was quite insistent :).

well, I didn't want to get into a bunch of scenarios in the post, but...
I’d rather have Cameron in there (it IS only 18 PAs) if the alternative is a Kapler/Nix outfield. I was thinking Braun might be back, in which case it wouldn’t have hurt too much to give Cam his first day off in a while. (since 8/3, anyway)

So it's pointless now, but
If the outfield from left to right is Nix, Kapler, & Hart, is it known as Niplart?

Bacardi
I think a poor mixed Captain tastes like Cough Meds. I’d rather drink Bacardi.

have I not been paying attention, or has it been a while since Villy last pitched?

Last pitched on Sunday
11th and 12th innings. Hadn’t pitched before that since August 4.

He’s a wide out.

Kapler tried, but noooooooo good. And right now, the EI feed decides to crap out. Thank goodness, I don’t want to see any more of it…wait, they’re using Scully’s radio feed over FSN Wisconsin footage. wtf.

to sully our record in 1 run games anymore…..right?…..guys?

I ran out of beer whilst watching the Rockies game. I tell you, playing a drinking game for JDLR’s pitching performance is even worse when you’re drinking alone.

JDLR Drinking Game?
Every time the orginization mentions his “electric stuff” or “upside” you do a shot?
You must be hammered…….

It was the MASN feed
and I didn’t have much beer to begin with. ;) Just K and BB, and he’s still shooting BBs alllll over the place. The sad thing is what they’ve got lurking at Colorado Springs is /worse/.

In the future you now know you'll need a minumum
of a case and a half if he’s on the mound. That, and a complete change of blood…….

Did Vin mention that Counsell used to be a Dodger yet?

I tend to watch Dodgers games after work because they start late, but Dodger wins are much less amusing when they’re playing the Brewers.

At least tomorrow is in glorious HD. Another late game, but, no so pixelated.
