HOU: RHP Brandon Backe (0-0 0.00 ERA)
MIL: RHP Carlos Villanueva (6-3 4.68 ERA)

Houston Probable Lineup:

1. Hunter Pence CF
2. Craig Biggio 2B
3. Lance Berkman 1B
4. Carlos Lee LF
5. Mark Loretta SS
6. Luke Scott RF
7. Ty Wigginton 3B
8. Brad Ausmus C
9. Brandon Backe P

Milwaukee Probable Lineup:

6. Greg Aquino LF
7. Seth McClung RF
8. Johnny Estrada 3B
9. Christopher Walken SS

Tidbits:

-Well I'm still very angry about the game yesterday and I doubt a win today will change that.
-Anybody hear Estrada after the game yesterday? He was asked if the ball that he let by him had any extra movement and he said I set up low and away and it was up an in. Next stupid question. Yes Johnny you're really in a position to be mouthing off to anybody, they're just doing their jobs. Why don't you follow suit?
-Well I've come to the conclusion that Yost has pictures of Doug Melvin doing something that he doesn't want made public. Maybe he has a picture of him without his mustache or something.
-I'm still mad
-Ty Wigginton should change is name to Ty Pigginton to honor the animal he most closely resembles.

And for some good mojo...

Steve Philips had some excellent comments on Baseball Tonight last night. After the Brewer highlights he commented on how the September call-ups can cause managers to 'over-manage' and he used yesterday's Brewer game as a perfect example.

He said that if it weren't for the expanded roster, Shouse would have never come out.

i like how yost talked about the call-ups meaning he could use shouse for a whole inning now, not just one batter.

I predict at some point we will have a 3+ run lead....giving us about a 30% chance of actually winning this game.

Glad to see Carlos finally getting the start he deserved to get in months ago....

I can. King and Geraldo won't join the team until tomorrow.
Plus Yost is still manager so that offsets the Prince/King/Geraldo mojo.

2B Rickie Weeks
RF Gabe Gross
3B Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Corey Hart
LF Geoff Jenkins
C Johnny Estrada
SS J.J. Hardy
RHP Carlos Villanueva

The lineup I would've guessed had I not gone with the joke lineup because I'm still pissed at Ned.

It's good to have one of my favorite players back (Carlos V.).

I think Ned uses Carlos for 5 innings then maybe puts Cappy in depending on how well Carlos does.

Villanueva will be on a 75-85 pitch count.

I like that lineup espiecally hart hitting 5th. I like Hart hitting 5th. He is the best 5th hitter we got now and thank god weeks and gross are heating up so we dont have to bat him 1 or 2.
