Game Thread #123: Brewers (70-52) at Dodgers (62-59)

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)

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Aug 15, 2008 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

Green apple bacardi stuff is awesome

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

by warwick5s on Aug 15, 2008 11:49 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Last pitched on Sunday

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

advancing the runners. That’s what he was trying to do, right?

He should play for the Packers

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.

At least this game isn't going

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

I’m drinking cheap beer and they’re all drinking expensive rums and what not. i pity them if I ever find out their addresses.

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…….

Broxton’s 100 mph fastball + Counsell = FAIL

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

Ugh.

Lets stop the skid.. I’m tired of staying up late to watch junk.

by SgtClueLs on Aug 16, 2008 12:33 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

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.
