What is a blog? For OMC, it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us. It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published July 30, 2008 at 4:34 p.m.

After losing the first two games of their series with the Cubs, the Brewers send lefty Manny Parra to the mound tonight against Chicago's Ryan Dempster.

You know this is a big game. ESPN is televising it nationally, though it will be blacked out here in Milwaukee.

There should be a playoff atmosphere at Miller Park, with fans cheering for both teams and several drunken louts screaming at ESPN's fetching sideline reporter, Erin Andrews.

Here are the lineups:

CHICAGO (63-44)
1. Alfonso Soriano, lf
2. Ryan Theriot, ss
3. Derrek Lee, 1b
4. Aramis Ramirez, 3b
5. Reed Johnson, cf
6. Mark DeRosa, 2b
7. Kosuke Fukodome, rf
8. Henry Blanco, c
9. Ryan Dempster, p

MILWAUKEE (60-47)
1. Ray Durham, 2b
2. J.J. Hardy, ss
3. Ryan Braun, lf
4. Prince Fielder, 1b
5. Corey Hart, rf
6. Bill Hall, 3b
7. Mike Cameron, cf
8. Jason Kendall, c
9. Manny Parra, p.
