MILWAUKEE AT CINCINNATI PREVIEW
The Brewers (12-13, 3 GB), fresh off of their sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates, travel to Cincinnati, which is another place the Crew has struggled in the past few seasons. Ken Griffey Jr. is hurt again. He had some tightness in his right-hamstring last night against Houston and was removed from the game and is now listed as day-to-day. Well at least the Reds did get a whole 23 games out of Junior so far in 2004. It's pretty much a rite of passage to spring for Griffey to get hurt it seems. Don't worry Reds fans, you have Jason Romano there to take his place.

Probable Starters for Cincinnati (13-12, 2 GB)
C- Javier Valentin
1B- Sean Casey
2B- D'Angelo Jiminez
SS- Barry Larkin
3B- Ryan Freel
LF- Adam Dunn
CF- Jason Romano
RF- Jacob Cruz

(Austin Kearns is on the DL with a broken forearm. Jason LaRue is on the DL with an injured finger. Ken Griffey Jr. is day-to-day with tightness in his hamstring)

Tonight's pitching matchup is probably the least desirable one of the year thus far. Wednesday we'll see if Ben Sheets can continue to pitch well and go for his sixth start in a row without walking a batter. Wes Obermueller is pretty much pitching for his spot in the rotation Thursday night....No Pressure
