good chance of a rain delay today, but little chance of a rainout; it's cloudburst weather. whatever precipitation we get will be brief.
overflow thread programmed to open automatically about 2 hours into the game. i should be close to the field; look for me behind the cards' dugout.

20.25 ERA?
I’d settle for 15 today, especially with Summers in Rangoon on the hill for the Birds.

Not scary to me
One HR all year, aided by wind. I’ll take my chances.

I think he was going with
The lots of balls hit into play and low strike out rate. Coors is a big field. They don’t have to leave the park to do damage. (Like the 8th inning last night.)

Fair enough
I’ll go with that, but we’re in a reasonable pitching matchup. I like Lohse here.

Lineup
Interesting today. Yadi fifth. Barton 2nd, should be interesting!
I am the only/last Anthony Reyes fan!

"interesting" is a nice euphemism
probably going to need some help from the ryan, ak, iz2 set if they’re going to win this one. i’m not counting on lohse to put up 7 scoreless.

Yadi
is our 4th best slugger off LHP, after Pujols, Ludwick, and Ankiel.

Um...Shouldn't Albert Rest?
I know Milwaukee has been playing poorly lately, but I think we need to win/split that series more than we need 3 here…
by joeyart on May 8, 2008 2:53 PM EDT 0 recs
I'd say he was given the option
and declined.
Today very well could be a revenge game for Albert, no doubt he took last night on his shoulders

For about 30 minutes. So I can catch the end on the drive home.

I watched those a lot yesterday
Glaus deserves quite a bit of credit on the second one, the block was perfect. And thank goodness that the ump was in perfect view on both occasions, should he not be it could have been two close calls.

he missed the catch, went to the outfield
and now it’s a one run lead, that should be a two run lead

Not getting a good feeling
Lohse today. I have a feeling our bullpen is going to get alot of work today….not really what we need going to Milwaukee. I really hope we can cash in today if he have runners on.
