WEFFPIM's Tidbits
-The Brewers lineup is going to change because apparently Ned Yost likes to slam his head against a brick wall immediately prior to filling out the lineup card, then just going with the first 9 names he writes down. Don't be shocked if somehow Capuano is left out of the lineup.
-Look for the Astros lineup to change because, frankly, I can't name half the guys on that roster.
-Also, look for Brad Ausmus to possibly be catching, Quintero was on the last Astros batting order against a left-handed pitcher. On that note, how is Brad Ausmus still a Major League catcher? Find that out plus possibly the answers to these questions tomorrow night:
-Will the Brewers actually decide that defense isn't voluntary and not launch a ground ball into New Berlin?
-Does Bill Hall know he looks like Don Cheadle?
-Will the Astros send Brad Lidge to AAA? I can only hope not...
-Why has no one approached Orlando Palmeiro about substance-abuse? That guy is like 87-years-old, and has been on every team.
-If I see Greg Aquino put into this game, I'm gonna forcefully ram a cactus into Ned Yost's ***. That's not a question.
Good Luck, Chris...and God help us all...
