Great night for a ballgame

And a great pitching matchup, too. With temperatures in the low 70s, Ryan Dempster takes on Chris Carpenter on ESPN.

Tonight's lineup:

Soriano, LF
Fukudome, RF
Lee, 1B
Ramirez, 3B
Edmonds, CF
DeRosa, 2B
Soto, C
Cedeno, SS
Dempster, RHP

The clubhouse TV was on the Brewers-Nationals game before batting practice today. The guys had their eyes on it as the two teams entered extra innings, but it's not currently at the point where they're reacting to every play.

With the Brewers taking the victory in the 13th on a walk-off home run, and with them now 3.5 games back, a win tonight against the Cardinals' ace would be a great way to head into tomorrow's off-day.
