Ok so the game is on ESPN which guarantees a loss since we always blow ass on national tv. Also damn I'm not getting HD until tomorrow, makes me wish I would have scheduled it for today Lastly, the Indians on ESPN two days in a row, ah is it the 90's again? lol

[MickeyDavis]

Since FSN is not in HD, and won't be again for 8 days, I'll be watching the ESPN feed.

I don't get the Alyssa Milano-Barry Zito pic

[MickeyDavis]

Zito went out with her right after Pavano. It ticked off Carl and I'm trying to tick him off now.

And in an interesting twist of irony, there are only 2 games scheduled in the majors today. Pavano pitches in one, Zito in the other.

[MickeyDavis]

It will be interesting to see who is the DH tonight. I'm assuming Gritty at second. Perhaps McGehee at third and Gamel as DH. It could be Gamel at third and Frankie as DH but McGehee has been hitting well. Or maybe Frankie in center and give Cam a night off (1-10 career against Pavano).

As long as Hall and Gerut don't play.

[trwi7]

Frankie in center? Yikes. That better not happen and if it does, Macha is an idiot.

My guess:

2B Gritsell
3B McGehee
LF Braun
1B Fielder
RF Hart
DH Gamel
CF Cameron
C Rivera
SS Hardy

[RayRayJones]

My guess:

2B Counsell
3B McGehee
LF Braun
1B Fielder
DH Gamel
CF Cameron
RF Hart
SS Hardy
C Rivera

Seems much more likely. Boy, I wish we played in the AL that's a scary lineup any way you put it. Then again, any Brewers' lineup without BIll Hall can be considered scary.

[Ryan5UW]

My guess:

2B Counsell
3B McGehee
LF Braun
1B Fielder
DH Gamel
CF Cameron
RF Hart
SS Hardy
C Rivera

Seems much more likely. Boy, I wish we played in the AL that's a scary lineup any way you put it. Then again, any Brewers' lineup without BIll Hall can be considered scary.

I can't see Gamel 5th behind Prince. Plus, putting him 6th gives a nice R-L-R-L-R to the middle of the order.

[Ryan5UW]

Well, Cara Zavaleta turns 29 today but this team doesn't deserve any scantily clad women in its game threads, so you guys can google if you want.

[Captain Erv]

two first basemen and no DH...interesting concept

2B Craig Counsell
1B Casey McGehee
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
CF Mike Cameron
3B Mat Gamel
SS J.J. Hardy
C Mike Rivera

[MickeyDavis]

See Macha really is an American League manager, he knows all of the loopholes.

[trwi7]

I like using five infielders with a ground ball pitcher, but Bush is a flyball pitcher so we should use four outfielders. Macha's an idiot.

[MickeyDavis]

Looks like Casey is at third and Gamel is the DH.

[trwi7]

TH really is having a bad day. First there's no DH, but nobody noticed this.

Hardy dropped to seventh

Cleveland - Struggling J.J. Hardy, with no hits in his last 28 at-bats, has been dropped from second to eighth in the batting order for the Brewers' interleague game tonight against Cleveland.

[Captain Erv]

McGehee at 3rd, Gamel DH

[livestrong4ever]

Poor JJ. I wish i could do something to make him relax at the plate

[livestrong4ever]

I really like the first two batters in this line up. Finally we have some opportunity to get some men on base for fielder and braun.

[livestrong4ever]

lets go brewers!
