8/2 Game Thread: Brewers (51-56) at Rockies (51-55)

It's Tomo Ohka against Byung-Hyun Kim.  Let's hope Francisco Cordero doesn't have to strike somebody out with the bases loaded and that we somehow come up with more than one run.  Humidor or not, I don't think tonight is going to be a 1-0 game.  I'm headed out for the evening and not sure when I'll return; if someone wants to post the lineup when it is released, that'd be great.

Once again, a plug for Purple Row, the only baseball blog I know of written by someone named Brandi.

Go Brewers!

Update [2006-8-2 20:35:22 by battlekow]:: OMG OMG OMG Ned Yost has gone insane. The lineup:

• Tony Gwynn
• Jeff Cirillo
• Prince Fielder
• Gabe Gross
• Geoff Jenkins
• Tony Graffanino
• Bill Hall
• Damian Miller
• Tomo Ohka

Wow. Three lefties in a row at the heart of the order, and four of the first five. Is Ned aware that the Rockies have four lefties in their pen, including their closer? He must be, so that means he's just unaware of the existence of platoon splits. There has to be some obvious reason for this that I'm missing.

Also of note is the fact that Cirillo was not, in fact, blackballed for his conspiracy comments and is starting at third. Bill Hall, however, is still exiled to the seventh spot.

Uh, Go Lefties?
