Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, Aug 6, 2008 11:35 AM CDT
For all the hoopla over Homer Bailey in the years since the Reds took him in the first round, he hasn't been worth much more to Cinci this year than Mark Rogers has been to the Brewers. Kind of odd that, despite all that hype, Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez (who, to be fair, wasn't in the org until this season) have completely overtaken him.
So yeah, Bailey is 0-5 with a 7.55 ERA this year. He was solid in Triple-A, but has walked guys like crazy everywhere he's been. Going for us this afternoon is Jeff Suppan, who has also been walking more batters than usual, but at least has an ERA under 5, and is coming off his second best start of the year.
Game time is 11:35 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Bill Castro is already doing his part for the Brewers in 2009
From McCalvy’s game preview:
“Brewers bullpen coach Bill Castro, who will serve as the pitching coach for the Dominican Republic in next year’s World Baseball Classic, spent time Tuesday lobbying Reds closer Francisco Cordero to pitch in the tournament. Young Reds hurlers Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez also have tentatively agreed to pitch.”

I wonder if the Moustache has checked with Thompson about a trade for Favre in exchange for Mota. Would seem to solve both teams problems and heck, Favre might have a nice fastball!!!

What is the record for consecutive outs/assists by a fielder to start a game.

A couple catchers have had nine putouts to start a game due to strikeouts and pop-ups.

The only thing their swings have in common are that they are both lefties. Bruce has a high leg kick, while Votto swing is much longer.

It’s served on plates. Comes as 3 alarm or 4 alarm et cetera. I forget what they mean exactly but its a reference to addition of items. One of them is raw onions and I’m always for raw onions.
Cincinnati is a nice place. It has some extreme politics that were surprising to me. Sort of Midwestern flavor mixed with the South.

The chili is much thicker than typical chili as the meat is finely ground
And it comes in a 3-way : Spaghetti, Chili, Cheese
4-way: A 3-way with either beans or onions
5-way: everything.
Or you can get a Coney which is a hot dog with chili and cheese (onions and mustard optional).
And the humidity can be a bitch in Cincinnati, but I once spent a summer in Atlanta and I’ll take Cincinnati’s summer every time over that steam bath.

4-2 this month...
... meaning the Brewers need to go 13-8 the rest of the month to hit the 17 win plateau and put themselves in a position to hit 90 wins by playing just over .500 ball (13-12) in September.

not that it matters much
but 26 games in september, not 25. given the schedule, i’ll take 13-13 out of that month…though i’d be much happier with 13-13 if we win those 17+ games you mention in august.
Also, cheese.
