-Here's hoping Ray Durham hits 3 home runs today and forces Dead Head Ned to play him instead of Rickie Weeks. Meanwhile, what is going to take for Yost to give Kendall a day off? The Brewers' starting catcher is now hitting .246. Keep in mind that his career average is .294.
-The Dave Bush/Seth McClung home and away experiment is done. This was one of those ideas that looks good in theory, but you knew that it wouldn't work out in practice. Especially when both Bush and McClung expressed concerns about it. Hopefully McClung will be able to add some depth to the bullpen now.
-The Brewers have now won 9 in a row on the road. Even though the competition hasn't been that tough (Atlanta is practically a AAA team right now), considering the woes MLB road teams have experienced this season, it is still quite impressive.
-I thought it was a good idea to put in Torres yesterday to finish the game. With 2 months left in the season, there's no sense in squeezing as many innings out of Sabathia as you can right now. Who knows what will happen come September...there may come a time when you need CC to pitch on 3 days' rest. It was also good for Torres to get some work in, as he had not worked since the first game of the cubs' series.
-Have you read about the problems Prince Fielder and CC Sabathia are having concentrating when they are in the field together?

I agree. THe Weeks experiment needs to end. 3 years of underachieving means that maybe you just aren't that good. Slumps don't last 3 years.
Wondering about your thoughts by Eric Karros on Fox yesterday to start Counsell at 2B the rest of the year? I'd like to see Gamel get a call up and a chance at 3B, since Branyan seems to have come back down to earth, and maybe throw Hall into the mix at 2B. Maybe just play the hot hand like Yost did with Dillon at the end of last year.
