Morlan a feelin'...

Record: 5-6-2

Game Recap

- Jason Kendall and Prince Fielder each clubbed two RBI in the tie. Jeff Suppan surrendered 5 ER over 3 innings of “work” and Casey McGehee went 0 for 1.

Brewers News

- Cool little feature about Eduardo Morlan: Between battling to stay on the roster, the Rule 5 status and his Cuban heritage, it’s an interesting story. The way Jorge Julio has looked so far, Morlan surely has a shot of making the team.

- Mike Cameron will sit a few days with a tweaked ribcage.

- Between the Green Pillars rolls the dice on Rickie Weeks: The more I read Haudricourt and Co. critiquing Richard, the more I imagine him as a child. BTGP is right; Rickie is a decent player… his potential to be so much more has led to his downfall. I’ve been overly critical/impatient of him in past years, but I think he’ll continue to improve, but he’ll never be the player we all thought he’d be.
