As HLP previewed for us this morning, tonight should be an epic pitching duel between two of the best young (does Wandy count as young?) right handers in the NL-Central.  The bad feeling I have in my gut is that whenever I'm super excited for a match up like this, it devolves into something less than pitchers duel.  Either way, I'll be finding a TV to park myself in front of to catch every pitch of this.

Ed Romero and or Cecil Cooper

gave the wrong lineup to the umpire, Michael Bourn was leading off, apparently the Ken Macha (Brewers) had a lineup with Kazuo Matsui leading off… Michael Bourn singled on a 1-0 pitch to start the inning off.

Massive screw up by Cooper

He turned in the wrong lineup card. Bourn singled. Macha came out and pointed out that the wrong lineup card was sent out. Matsui called out. Bourn loses single and comes back to bat.

Someone on brewcrewball asked how Cooper can have a job tomorrow.

fucking pathetic

lineup card screwup

by BTastros on May 20, 2009 7:20 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

When Macha came out, and they panned to Cooper in the dugout...

Cooper was sifting through a stack of lineup papers, and then you saw him pound the table top. At that point, I realized that Macha would be right.

I appreciate JD and Brownie...

trying to say it’s just a “human mistake,” but how is this not the most basic part of a manager’s job?
