6:56	Unofficial Scorer - Good evening from Minute Maid Park where we are 10 minutes away from first pitch from Felipe Paulino to Rickie Weeks.

6:57	Unofficial Scorer - Here is the Milwaukee lineup that will face Paulino. 1. Rickie Weeks (2B) 2. Corey Hart (RF) 3. Ryan Braun (LF) 4. Prince Fielder (1B) 5. Mike Cameron (CF) 6. J.J. Hardy (SS) 7. Bill Hall (3B) 8. Jason Kendall (C) 9. Yovani Gallardo (P)

6:59	Unofficial Scorer - For the Astros, Michael Bourn moves up to the No. 2 spot, dropping Miguel Tejada down to 5.

7:00	Unofficial Scorer - 1. Kaz Matsui (2B) 2. Michael Bourn (CF) 3. Lance Berkman (1B) 4. Carlos Lee (LF) 5. Miguel Tejada (SS) 6. Hunter Pence (RF) 7. Geoff Blum (3B) 8. Humberto Quintero (C) 9. Felipe Paulino (P)

7:01	Unofficial Scorer - Quintero, without a time on base in seven at-bats, gets the start in place of Ivan Rodriguez.

7:01	[Comment From KyleB] Miggy hits so much better in the 2 spot.

7:03	Unofficial Scorer - Cecil Cooper said he had him in No. 2 to get him going, and now that he's going, Coop said he wants him in more of an RBI spot.

7:04	[Comment From KyleB] Sounds like a good idea.

7:05

Unofficial Scorer - And he's had the idea in his mind ofor a while to put Bourn at the top. If he's not going to listen to me and at least experiment with batting him ninth, No. 2 isn't a terrible spot as long as you're not trying to hit and run with Matsui with Bourn at the plate. Bourn's not a good enough contact hitter for that yet.

7:05	[Comment From johnr] Hey Z. Looks like I missed quite the discussion yesterday.

7:05	Unofficial Scorer - We had a good time.

7:06	Unofficial Scorer - Paulino's first pitch is a strike at 96 to Weeks.

7:06	[Comment From Will] Evening Z

7:06	Unofficial Scorer - Evening.

7:06	[Comment From incognito] you the some of the astros are struggling! Take a look at a few of the Brewers' BAs: Fielder .196, Hardy, .148, Kendall .132. Wow.

7:07	[Comment From johnr] Well I'll go on the record that I don't like Tejada batting fifth. Then again, I don't like Tejada.

7:07	[Comment From KyleB] It seems Michael hits well when he's not under pressure. Maybe he's a bottom of the order guy. Ninth might just work.

7:07	Unofficial Scorer - Paulino has one away on a flyout. He worked primarily mid-high 90s fastball and high 80s slider last time out, allowing three hits over three innings.

7:08	Unofficial Scorer - Now two down on the groundout back to the pitcher.

7:08	[Comment From johnr] I was gone yesterday so I missed this probably. What was the deal with the roof last night? I thought it was a great night outside.
