Probable Lineups
I don't friggin' care, and therefore, neither do you

WEFFPIM's Tidbits
-The Rockies have garnered a lot of attention with how moderately successful they have been this season, largely due to the fact that 80% of Denver had no idea the team was still around, and 15% of the remaining 20% confused the Rockies with the more popular MLS team, the Colorado Rapids.
-Think of the Rockies as a more extreme version of the Brewers, with drastic upswings and downswings, only their menstrual cycle seems to be of the two-week variety, not on the typical month long cycle.
-Remember about two seasons ago when Daron Sutton interviewed JJ Hardy and Clint Barmes as the two up-and-coming shortstops in the NL? After that, Brainiac Barmes decided that the best way to play a game of lawn darts was to try and hurtle a deer carcass up the stairs, snapped his spine into 4 pieces, and now finds himself in the minor leagues. Dumb****.
-Due to it being Friday the 13th, Ned Yost will kill Carlos Villanueva to see if Casper shows up. Much to his chagrin, it will be Slimer.
-Matt Holliday may just be the best hitter that no one knows about, and will be the best hitter even he doesn't know about when Prince Fielder hits him in the head with a bat and sends him into a deep, peaceful coma.
-I've talked a lot about the Rockies in this version of Tidbits, and for good reason. With my in-depth factoids, I am now the 4th person to write something about the Rockies...ever. Hell, their board here is nonexistent.
-What should I say about our favorite team, the Brewers? Oh, I've got one. WAKE THE **** UP, MORONS. That is all.

Good Luck, Chris...and Go Brewers

Edited again because the Brewers put every pitcher's picture on a wheel and keep spinning it to see who's pitching tonight.

Great stuff as usual. Let's hope the Brewers go on a long winning streak so you can keep doing these. :lol:

You messed up on Sheets' ERA though. It's 3.41 not 3.71.

Yeah... that looks right.

Anyway, great stuff as usual WEFFPIM. I sure hope we can start this 2nd half off strong because letting the cubs get any closer will be horrible.

I don't know I'd kind of prefer the Brewers not batting in the 9th when they're at home.

Yup they pushed Sheets back to Saturday, which I'm happy about since I'm going tomorrow night. :)

Hopefully Cappy starts pitching well and the Brew Crew can take the series.

Hell I'd take a quality start from Capuano. That be better than the 7.20 ERA he's put up since his 5-0 2.31 ERA start.
