Game Thread #142: Padres (54-87) at Brewers (81-60)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads

San Diego Padres @ Milwaukee Brewers


It's not been an easy run for Ben Sheets lately -- first Johan Santana, now Jake Peavy.  And like with Santana, it's the second time this year he's drawn the matchup -- back on August 14, Peavy outdueled him. 

Game time is 6:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

Also starting at 6

The deciding game in the Sally League championship, the last minor league game of the year for Brewers affiliates. The time for an updated prospect list is nigh.

I think they play another series if they win for the SAL championship

From WV Power’s website:

The Power will finish their best of three game series in the first round of the playoffs against the Lake County Captains at Classic Park on Saturday night. The Power will start left hander Lucas Luetge (2-1, 3.72) and the Captains will counter with left hander Erik Berger (0-0, 2.08). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.

Hopefully Luetge pitches well, too bad they can’t throw Anundsen again.

Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)

Oh. Right.

I’m blaming that one on the allergy meds. If I’m MIA in the game thread, send someone to peel me off the couch.

News from the front
Centerfielder Mike Cameron has been scratched from the Brewers’ starting lineup tonight against San Diego with a sore left knee. We weren’t told the origin of the soreness. We were told it is not considered serious.

Gabe Kapler will replace Cameron in center and bat in his No. 6 spot in the lineup.

The Brewers’ first-round draft pick, Brett Lawrie, is here today to work out with the Brewers.

Dodgers whoopin' on the Dbacks

Am I the only one who would rather face the Mets or Phils than the Dodgers?

I'm disappointed that all four options are actually major league teams

I actually wanted to know the prevailing opinion on the question

If I put in the Carlos George All-Stars, everyone would vote for them.

Won’t let me vote, but interesting.

Same here

Pitching seems to win playoff series more often that not, and both the Dodgers and Diamondbacks are pretty scary in that department.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

The Mets?

Ummm…no thanks.

Got a fridge full of beer, Halos on one HD tuner and the Crew on the other. All systems go!

Halos?

As in Master Chief?

:) No, my "other" team is playing the ChiSox

So my games this weekend are all running concurrently.

by Brew Angel on Sep 6, 2008 6:13 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Hmm

Given that ol’ Noodle Arm (52/8 SB/CS this year, 121/10 last year) is behind the plate for the Padres, I wonder if they’ll run tonight.

Cerveceros

How many times a year do the Brewers do their “Cerveceros Day” promotion?

by Brew Angel on Sep 6, 2008 6:26 PM CDT   0 recs

I thought it was only once

Have they worn those jerseys before this year? I know they did the Negro Leagues uniforms against the Pirates a couple months ago.

You bastards.

I didn’t have my TV on when I read this post, and I thought Sheets really had hurt himself.

I have to say

I was really pretty excited when we acquired him. So disappointed how that turned out.

Whoa

Airmailed that throw to home. I wonder if Giles could’ve played the “it’s stuck under the wall!” card to make it a ground-rule double.

Lawrie took BP today:

Sporting No. 13 on his home uniform, Lawrie hit a number of pitches over the wall in left that reminded manager Ned Yost of reigning NL Rookie of the Year winner Ryan Braun.

“He’s got a very nice swing,” Yost said. “He’s a strong young man. He kind of reminds me of Braunie when he came in.”

Lawrie is confident about his future, too.

“I want to be up by the time I’m 20 years old,” he said.
