Whatever...

I'll tell you what's fitting.

Rickie Weeks makes an outstanding play in the bottom of the first off a low one hop liner to his right to get a tough out.

Two innings later, the chump can't even catch a ball that gets thrown to him at 1st base. If that doesn't sum up his 4 year career to this point, I'm not sure what will.

I'll tell you what's not fitting.

Dale Sveum has the AUDACITY to not only play Bill Hall, but to bat him 2nd in the lineup. 2nd!!! It's not like we need reminding...but I'm going to write it again in bold letters so the point is driven home. BILL HALL IS THE WORST OFFENSIVE PLAYER ON THIS TEAM. He brings nothing to the table. Zero. When Bill Hall comes up, every Brewer fan knows what coming. Strike. Out. Pop. Up. Then Bill swears, throws his bat down in disgust, and jogs to 1st.

Bill Hall sucks. Rickie Weeks is incredibly inconsistent both offensively and defensively.

I beg you Dale Sveum...I seriously beg you the following:
Shut both these chumps down now. Bill Hall I never want to see on the diamond again, unless it's a 12 inning game and he's the last pinch hitter. Rickie can pinch hit, but that's it. SCREW righty-lefty matchups...platooning...whatever you try to justify yourself to keep these losers in.
Pencil in Ray Durham & Craig Counsell. Durham is playing about as good as any Brewer hitter right now, and you know what you're going to get from Counsell...ie...1-3 with a walk and actual defense.

Go Crew!

I don't know about you guys...but these are the kinds of coaches I like having. Is there any doubt in your mind that Dale has a tin of chew in his back pocket?

Go Brewers.

Svuem's First Batting Order?

What will Dale Svuem's first batting order look like?

You know he won't trot out the Yost lineup, because (a) it wasn't working and (b) he needs to look different. With 3 straight righties from the Cubs, there's not a ton you can do with this lineup.

Here's a total stab in the dark for tonight's batting order from yours truly:

C Kendall (.500 career hitter vs. Dempster in 14 ABs)
2B Durham (5 for 9 vs. Dempster this year)
1B Prince
LF Braun
CF Cameron
SS Hardy
RF Hart
3B Counsell

As usual, the leadoff position is tough. Hart has 0 career hits vs. Dempster, so I don't see him as a good play as a leadoff hitter. I could see Gwynn playing RF and batting leadoff, but as I am on record as saying that I think Gwynn is useless I'm not going to suggest that.
