Brewers Hoping for Big Homestand

Because I have absolutely nothing to write about today, let's take a look at the upcoming homestand. The Brewers are coming into to their three-series homestand at 24-27, which puts them at 5th in the NL Central and six games back of the Cubs. They'll play three against the Braves, a weekend series against the Astros, and then three more against the Diamondbacks. I'd love to see a 6-3 record out of the next 9 games, which would put them back at .500 for the season.

Here are the pitching matchups for the next 5 games:

Tues (Atl) - Tim Hudson (7-3, 2.97) vs. Dave Bush (1-5, 6.56)
Wed (Atl) - Jo-Jo Reyes (2-2, 5.84) vs. Jeff Suppan (2-4, 4.47)
Thur (Atl) - Jorge Campillo (1-0, 0.86) vs. Seth McClung (2-1, 3.55)
Fri (Hou) - Brandon Backe (4-5, 4.19) vs. Manny Parra (2-2, 5.11)
Sat (Hou) - TBA vs. Ben Sheets (5-1, 2.93)

That's really all I got today, other than mentioning that Bill Hall is unhappy, or that Reggie McKenzie got somewhat of a promotion, it's been a slow morning. We should find out who was sent down to make room for Tavarez later in the day.

One another note, it's a good day if you've been stashing Jay Bruce on your fantasy rosters!
