Why do you spell Milwaukee wrong?

It's just a typo. Give me a break. I noticed I spelled it wrong last time too, but hey the brewers won today so i won't mess with it.

Sounds good to me. I was worried that you thought it was correct, and it made me cringe for the state of public schools

Jenkins wont be in tommorow. Will be Mench

For all you Brewer fans outside of Milwaukee this game will be on WGN.

Hopefully the Cubs continue to struggle against left-handers.

Yeah how are you guys against lefties?
I know Ryan Braun kills lefties but what about the rest of the team?

um i don't have the specific statistics, but you can go ahead and look at our record since about may 11th and figure it out.

vs lefties this year.

Weeks- .250/.405/.385/.790
Hart- .328/.404/.613/1.017
Fielder- .280/.357/.528/.885
Braun- .460/.534/.966/1.500
Mench- .309/.340/.525/.865
Hall- .286/.342/.489/.831
Estrada- .312/.320/.440/.760
Hardy- .297/.359/.563/.922

The Brewers have a 23-19 record against left handed starting pitchers this year but those left handed starters have combined for a 6.08 ERA.

Yes you may call me stat geek.

Biggest game of the last 15 years.

None of the Cubs have ever faced Parra so I guess that could be an advantage the first couple of times through the order.

We've done well against Lilly this year, in 12 innings he's given up 14 hits, 7 ER's, and 3 HR's.

Three night games in a row at Wrigley? That's really strange

braun and fielder switched back to 3 and 4 respectively, because of the lefty (whatever you say ned) per the jsonline brewers blog

Cardinals lost

so what is the deal with gallardo?? He was scheduled to start today but is not anymore? With Sheets coming back and this Parra guy starting is he getting sent back to the minors or what is the deal?

No Yost just switched Parra into the rotation today cause he wanted a lefty to face the Cubs. But No Gallardo is not going to be sent down.
