HOU leads season series 1-0 (Thanks, Greggo)

Pitching Matchup

LHP Wandy Rodriguez (0-1, 2.77 ERA)
vs.

LHP Chris Capuano (2-0, 2.81 ERA)

Probable Lineups
Houston Astros

1. 2B Craig Biggio
2. CF Chris Burke
3. 1B Lance Berkman
4. LF Carlos Lee
5. 3B Morgan Ensberg
6. RF Jason Lane
7. SS Adam Everett
8. C Humberto Quintero
9. P Wandy Rodriguez

Milwaukee Brewers
1. 2B Rickie Weeks
2. SS J.J. Hardy
3. 1B Prince Fielder
4. CF Bill Hall
5. C Johnny Estrada
6. LF Kevin Mench
7. RF Corey Hart
8. 3B Tony Graffanino
9. P Chris Capuano

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...

Game time is 6:05. You probably should've put that in there but the rest was brilliant. I laughed at almost all of it. :lol:

Sorry didn't read the whole title. Great points you made though, I really hope Ned puts Aquino in tomorrow, I'd love to see you shove a cactus up his ass. It might get some emotion out of him.

JJ Hardy with another home run, his 4th of the year. Brewers up 2-1.

not to take credit away from Graffy but Hart made that run. 2 stolen bases after a bunt hit. Great job.

whenever someone hits a homerun before prince its like he's jealous and wants to hit one too

Wait, I'm watching this on Gamecast...is Gamecast messed up or has JJ Hardy pulled an ARod impersonation with 2 blasts in 2 consecutive at bats?

I knew I bought his jersey for a reason!

Lol, I know right. But usually he strikes out or grounds out. At least this time he had the double.
