Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers, Sep 8, 2008 7:05 PM CDT
In typing up the headline just now, I accidentally came up with "Brewsers." Over the weekend, I saw Legally Blonde: The Musical. Coincidence?
The matchup is Edinson Volquez and Dave Bush. They last faced off just over a month ago, and Bush had one of his best starts of the year. Volquez did not. And that wasn't even at Miller Park!
Sounds like Mike Cameron will be back in the lineup tonight. If he hurries, maybe he'll be the one to hit home run #250,000.
Game time is 7:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Hopefully the offense wakes up tonight
Durham and Counsell are in the lineup.

Federer Murray as a warm up to the Brewers tonight
Federer just broke to take a 4-2 lead in the first set. Actually with the packers I wonder if anyone will be watching the Brewers tonight? These games are starting to become really important for the Brewers so hopefully they can take 2 of 3 here.

dixie, if you've got a minute: I don't know what it takes to whip up one of your famous wear pattern charts
I’d be curious to see David Riske’s before and after he hyper-extended his elbow. I’d rewrite the stats, but this post at Brewerfan sums it up:
Before the injury he had 21 IP, 8 BB, 14 K, .711 OPS against. Yeah he had a 4.71 ERA but over 21 IP that is going to be very erratic, those are pretty good basic stats for a RP.
After the injury he has 21.1 IP, 17 BB, 13 K, .981 OPS againstf or a 5.91 ERA. He has been a complete wreck since the injury
It seems like his velocity is down from 89-90 to 87 consistently now, and I’d speculate that his movement has gotten worse.
And to your point: yeah, this game’s viewership is gonna be pretty low. I actually like watching the Packers, but I refuse to give them too much attention because I’m jealous of all the attention they get.

Yost continues to amaze
Asked if Riske was simply fighting mechanics or not feeling 100 percent healthy, manager Ned Yost said, “I think it’s probably a little of both. He’s battling through some things. He’s doing everything he can.”

Was that game in Arizona the only one Torres has hard-core blown all year? I think so. There’s been a few that he gave up a lead and got out of the inning. Hopefully that’s not the case here.
