PrintSan Diego Padres at Milwaukee Brewers, Sep 6, 2008 6:05 PM CDT
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!

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.
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
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
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
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.

If we remain the wildcard, you won't have to worry about facing the Dodgers
At least not in a short series.
Here we go
Got a fridge full of beer, Halos on one HD tuner and the Crew on the other. All systems go!
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.

Mark A. & Melvin will have to insist that he be left off the postseason roster
Just to save Ned from himself

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.

Zach Jackson
Doing his darnedest to keep his ERA over 6.00.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I have to say
I was really pretty excited when we acquired him. So disappointed how that turned out.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
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.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
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.

He probably just thinks his given name is Brett Lawr

They didn't retire ZachJack's 13?
Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)
They should've retired it for Billy Jo

What happened to the guy who was bragging about his Zach Jackson rookie card?

Hmmm...
… with all those throws sailing high tonight, it’s almost as if they’re playing in .75 gravity…

This looks like a job for...
superego!
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
If they let him, he'd take his at bats from the on deck circle.
My first year of little league, I got beaned in my second at bat. I mean, right in the face.
I spent the rest of the year standing in the batters box during my at bats, bat on my shoulder, ready to hit the deck at the first slightly inside pitch, hoping they threw 4 balls before 3 strikes.
That’s probably the only thing Sheets and I have in common.

I don’t think Sheets is going to swing again this season.

Something about the camera angle is making Lawrie look cross-eyed.

They can't.
It’s in Trenni’s contract that she can’t be shown in the same shot with any women that are hotter than she is.

I wonder if he wore that sweater vest with the express purpose of giving people something different to make fun of him about

Great defensive play, two hard-hit balls, and a walk.

He's only pitched more than 7 innings three times this year
One was last start. I doubt he’ll be doing it again tonight.

Sad that all I can think is there’s still a lot of night left…

a couple badger mutual insurance runs would be nice

Looked like the throw was there in time
Telemundo has horrible camera work tho. Powell thinks he was out.
There currently is a woman on Cops
who decided that drinking, then fighting with her B/F and then climbing a tree is a good idea
her first quote: “I climbed the tree”
The Chubber Lang Report is back!!!
I remember the good old days when that show and others would show police whoopin’ on guys who were cuffed and other fun stuff.

If it weren’t for that one time he put the salad forks on the inside, he’d be an all star.

What’s our magic number? is it low enough that putting a counter on the front page wouldn’t be unseemly?
