August 16th Gameday

I'm sitting here at work excited to watch the Brewers game on the ticker. So I started this beast up and want people to let me know what I'm missing by not actually listening to the game.

Capuano is on the hill versus Zach Duke. The Brewers have countered Duke with 8 right-handed hitters, a good move by Yost. Prince has played just about every game and is getting the day off more for rest I'm sure. Sticky Dick Mike Rivera and T-Graff are in the lineup as well. Jason Bay is not in the lineup again. The Brewers have a significant advantage on paper here. This is a very important game. The goal of making the playoffs has just about disappeared. It will disappear for certain with a loss today. However, there is still the goal I set at the begining of the year: finishing over .500. The Crew is going to have to play some damn good baseball to finish over .500. I'm holding on to hope. The schedule is obviously easy from here on out, and September call-ups figure to help the Brewers more than other teams. Plus Jenkins is benched and Corey Hart is playing. Wouldn't it be nice to finish 82-80? If they aren't going to do that, I'd rather see them tank and get the 5th overall pick next year.

Let's get some commentary going!

Looks like it's going to be one of those games. Can the Crew hit into 9 double plays?

anybody notice that, with the departure of lee, the double play totals have substantially decreased?

Corey hart is really fuck pounding the ball right now. Reminds me of when Prince struggled at the very beginning of the season, and then became and on base factory.

Sticky Dick is probably the only real "clutch" player in baseball right now.

Chuck Hart should have been starting all year long. His baserunning and defense may take a while to develop and refine, but I have no doubt he is the best hitting outfielder on the team now that Lee is gone.

We're playing extra innings. Now let's play a little game called Good Bullpen v. Brewers Bullpen. This cannot end well.
