The Brewers began the year as the only other team in the majors batting the pitcher 8th but have since changed their minds, moving Jason Kendall and his sterling 76 OPS+ to the 8 hole and the pitcher back to the bottom. The team is right behind the Cards offensively – averaging 4.73 runs per game to the Cards 4.78. They’ve been a little better at home on offense while the Cards have been much better...

2B Rickie Weeks SS J.J. Hardy LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder RF Corey Hart 3B Bill Hall CF Mike Cameron C Jason Kendall RHP Seth McClung That is the lineup. Clearly Yost is back to using his gut. If he was going with past performance, he would have started Hall and Durham. If he was going with consistency, he would have gone with Branyan and Weeks. Instead, Yost chooses his gut. Never a good thing....

Bob Smizik: Why not offer Nady a long-term deal now? For the same reason it was dumb to give a long-term deal to Kevin Young. Next! Why not show the fans of Pittsburgh there is a commitment to keeping good players?

Homey Bailey, right handed pitcher, will start and throw the ball with his right arm. Bill Hall is also starting. Lame. 2B Rickie Weeks SS JJ Hardy LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder RF Gabe Kapler 3B Bill Hall CF Mike Cameron C Jason Kendall P CC Sabathia Nothing good happens when Ned feels the need to tinker.

CC!!! CC!!! CC!!! CC!!! 2B Rickie Weeks SS JJ Hardy LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder RF Corey Hart 3B Bill Hall CF Mike Cameron C Jason Kendall P CC SABATHIA The only real question is whether he goes yard tonight or Sunday...but shit is happening! Other than the man/myth/legend Sabathia, the lineup is the same lefty lineup we normally see.
