Game Thread #125: Brewers (71-53) at Dodgers (63-60)

Today it's the so-boring-this-is-the-last-I'm-going-to-mention-him Jeff Suppan against the personification of hype, Clayton Kershaw.

If you haven't seen Kershaw's minor league numbers, check them out--they're pretty ridiculous. Usually players who are the youngest in the game are up for a reason (think Robin Yount), and Kershaw is the real deal. He and Billingsley are going to form a scary good two-headed ace monster at the top of the Dodgers' rotation next year; between the two of them in LA and the Cain/Lincecum/Sanchez troika in San Francisco, there's some amazing young pitching in the NL West. Throw in Brandon Webb, Dan Haren, Randy Johnson, Jake Peavy, and Chris Young, and, well, let's just say I'm really glad we're in a division with the Pirates and Astros instead.

Game time is 3:10 CT, and don't forget to check out the BR Game Preview.

I listened to about an hour interview with the guy who runs that thing. My favorite was the explanation for the number of species and how they only took two of each “type” of creature on the Ark. In the following few thousand years was when all the differentiation happened.

well...

with all the inbreeding happening, some choice recessive traits were bound to be expressed

which somehow resulted in mass speciation

T.J. Simers column in the L.A. Times about the Kent-Vin Scully thing makes a crack that next week Kent will start bad-mouthing the pope. Rock on the broadcast says saying Vin Scully talks too much is like saying the pope prays too much.

Then Cameron gets a solo four bagger knock. This is the FIRST inning the Crew didn’t get the leadoff batter on base. So, NATURALLY this would be the inning for the BIG HIT. AAARG!

There is a distressing pattern here and we all know it.

Is there such a thing as team RISP? The Crew can’t be high up on THAT list.

I don't think so

He played one season (1993) at St. Mary’s University in Texas. He’s seventh in career fielding percentage, ninth in career putouts, and tied for third in season putouts in their record book. I suspect he was either a first baseman or a catcher. He’s mentioned catching guys in the bullpen back when he was a minor league announcer a few times.

That's funny

because we had a discussion about the hottest cartoon character at the bar last night. I was the only one fighting for Jess.

Which reminds me

The Crew just got “johnson-ed” in two straight innings.

Up here in Door County

the FSN cable transmission is delayed about four seconds from the radio broadcast. The broadcast gets me off my ass and closer to accomplishing something on my wife’s to-do list. I can wait four seconds for “the news” about my team.

And I don’t have political shit from the corporate campaigns of McSame and Mr. Hope to put up with…..

Just one more sign

of the Yosting process.

Players can be Yosted.

The whole team can be Yosted.

All of Brewer fandom can be Yosted.

The long nightmare is not yet over.

.500 road trip

It almost feels like a disappointment, but 3-3 isn’t a horrible trip out west. Hopefully the aces start the homestand off the right way.

Bingo.

It’s hard after the 9th inning today, but you have to focus on the big picture, or at least the slightly bigger picture. The Brewers are 11-5 this month with 11 games left to play before September. If they go 6-5 the rest of the month, they only need to play .500 ball in September to hit 90 wins, which probably gets them the wildcard. A 4-2 trip would have been nice, but I didn’t really expect to take 2 of 3 against the Dodgers with the back half of our rotation going in all 3 games. And now we get to run Sabathia/Sheets/Parra at Houston in our home park.

Ryan Braun celebrates another misspelling of his nickname. It’s Braunt-o-saurus, people.
