Game Notes- I think Hardy might move up in the lineup, as he begins to heat up......Cappy sucks.......Kip Wells sucks......Brewers are dominant at home, 39-20, Cards are pretty bad on the road, 25-33......Cappy sucks........

Injury Report-Cardinals- Kennedy, Maroth, Wellemeyer, Carpenter-15 Day DL--Wilson, Mulder, Kinney-60 Day DL

Brewers-Graffanino, Koskie-Dead--Sheets-15 Day DL

Prediction-Wells and Crappy have a pitching duel for the ages, both go less than 5 innings and give up +7 runs, Brewers win 14-9
BREWERS=WIN

Nooo!! Capuano?? Why must Ned continue to torture us.

[Buck You]

Also, what is up with your lineup??? Corey Hart will not bat 8th my friend. You have Hart and Hardy mixed up.

[trwi7]

Yeah even if Hardy is moved back up which I doubt since he's looked great at #8 Hart won't be dropped that far down.

[MickeyDavis]

Hardy is hitting well in the 8 spot, no reason to mess with that right now.

[Captain Erv]

This is supposed to be the celebration of the '82 Series. Don't you think they'd have both teams where the throwbacks?

[Nowak008]

Whew I thought that Ned really dropped Hart to 8th.

Hardy is hitting well in the 8 spot, no reason to mess with that right now.

yup.

[trwi7]

Ugh so I'm going to have to hear more about the '82 team even more than I already do.

I hope this is the last year they do this 1982 crap. Instead of living in the past on a team that LOST why don't you focus more on the 1st place team this year as well as their future together.

I don't see the Packers planning a 10 year celebration of the team that LOST Super Bowl XXXII.

Post of the month. I vowed to not have any stupid retro stuff because it's stupid to celebrate it. Last season it felt like a "Hey, forget about the current crap on the field, let's remember when this team was almost good!!!" Now it's just overkill. I'm still a member of the "Hiring Robin Yount as the bench coach is a marketing scheme" Club.

Yeah, they are also offering major discount tickets at the 1982 price of $8...Problem is the sections they are for are the $10 seats.

Maybe everyone up there can save that huge $2 they saved and bribe somebody into firing yost so we can make new successes. Maybe even one where we WIN.

Why mess with the lineup Ned? My God it was set up perfectly. Hardy was doing great out of the 8th spot, Weeks and Hart were the speed guys at the top. I'm not sure what changing Braun and Fielder accomplishes, maybe it gets Fielder more pitches and they won't want to IBB him with Braun batting next. But really the only thing that needed to change was Hall moving down to 6th and Jenkins/Mench moving up to 5th.

[Andrew34r]

I dont understand the switching Braun and Fielder thing either. I love Braun in the 3 hole.

[Buck You]

Yost can never stay with one lineup for more than 2 games. For god sakes.

[Buck You]

Start the damn game already.

[trwi7]

Start the damn game already.

What is going on?

[Kerb Hohl]

What is going on?

We're celebrating losing. You guys should try it, it feels a lot better than dwelling on it.

[MadCityBucky]

A shame if the Brewers lose today with all this celebration.

[Kerb Hohl]

A shame if the Brewers lose today with all this celebration.

Actually it would only be fitting since we are celebrating losing a series to the team we are playing today.

[trwi7]

What is going on?

The higher ups in marketing have a boner for the team that lost the '82 World Series.
