CHICAGO -- Right-hander Jimmy Nelson is searching for a breakthrough and hopes it finally comes in Wednesdays game against the Chicago Cubs.The Milwaukee Brewers right-hander (6-12, 4.07 ERA) could use a positive outing and outcome.Nelson is 1-9 in his last 13 starts including five straight losses as he faces the first-place Cubs and left-hander Jon Lester (12-4, 2.93 ERA).Im definitely feeling every negative emotion you can think of, Nelson told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel earlier this month. I dont take losing great. I hate that. I hate it. Ill just try to keep getting better and string together a couple good starts and consistently carry it over the next couple months so I can finish this thing off good.He wouldnt mind a return to early season form. Nelson went 5-3 with a 2.88 ERA over his first 11 appearances through May 29.Back then, the Brewers were 23-27 and in fourth place 12 games behind the Cubs. Two-and-one-half months later Milwaukee (52-66) remains in fourth but is now 23 games out of first.Nelson has had strong outings this season even in losing efforts. Hes had 11 quality starts, but none in his last five.But Chicago historically has had Nelsons number. Hes 0-5 with a 2.91 ERA in 10 career games (eight starts) and is 0-2 this season with a 1.53 EA in three starts.One player whos done well against the Cubs is outfielder Ryan Braun. He sat out Mondays first game but was in the lineup batting third for game two. Braun was a career .352 batter with nine homers and 49 RBI at Wrigley Field in 60 games.Braun left Tuesdays second game with a knee injury after crashing into a wall along the left field line. Manager Craig Counsell said Braun wasnt as seriously hurt as feared but would be day-to-day.Lester has had better outcomes against the Brewers but has faced them fewer times. Hes 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA in five starts against Milwaukee, including one this season. He gave up four runs on four hits while walking five over four innings on July 24 at Miller Park. He had no decision in that Cubs 6-5 victory.Lester also had good things to say this week about ex-Washington Nationals reliever Jonathan Papelbon as a possible help to a struggling Cubs bullpen. But Cubs manager Joe told reporters on Tuesday that theres no talk about bringing Papelbon aboard.Im not saying it cant happen, Maddon said. Dont get me wrong. But for right now, there is nothing happening.The Cubs and Brewers close this series on Thursday then meet again between Sept. 5-7 at Miller Park, plus a four-game series back at Wrigley Field between Sept. 15-18.Chicago opens a 10-day, nine-game road trip on Friday that includes stops in Colorado, San Diego and at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Milwaukee has a three-game weekend series at Seattle before returning to Miller Park to face Colorado on Aug. 22. Cheap Quinton Dunbar Jersey . Its sharpness matched my mind.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Atlantic Coast Conference is showing a lot of new offensive looks.The changes start with the four teams that hired new coaching staffs. Next, Boston College, North Carolina State and Pittsburgh hired new offensive coordinators, while Louisville added a co-coordinator behind play-calling head coach Bobby Petrino. Finally, rivals Duke and North Carolina promoted coordinators to add their own touches to their same schemes from a year ago.In all, those 10 teams averaged 39.2 points and 445.2 yards in their openers, many coming against overmatched opponents. And five of the 10 racked up more than 520 total yards, the start of a season-long effort to build those attacks.Its just play to your strengths, said new Wolfpack offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz, who was at Boise State last year. Dont get caught up in, `Weve got to do this and weve got to do that. Youve got to play to your strengths and make sure your offense is still moving in the right direction.All the coaching turnover is making things tougher on defensive coaches, too.UNC second-year defensive coordinator Gene Chizik opened against a new staff at Georgia, faces another one this week at Illinois, then plays six of eight ACC games against teams with new head coaches or offensive coordinators.It does make it difficult, because youre looking, really, at a compilation of a lot of things -- a lot of years, a lot of teams theyve been on previously, Chizik said. Youre using your best, educated guess. You dont ever really know until you get in the game and you see exactly whats happening. So that really makes it hard in your first couple of games, for sure.Miami, Syracuse, Virginia and Virginia Tech made the biggest moves by bringing in new coaching staffs. Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt is calling plays for the first time in a decade for an offense that otherwise will look much like last year behind veteran quarterback Brad Kaaya.The changes are much more pronounced for the Orange, Cavaliers and Hokies.New Orange coach Dino Babers is known for strong offenses from his time as a Baylor assistant, and as a head coach at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green. His Syracuse team is incorporating some of Baylors up-tempo spread with pro-style principles afterr using a spread option, and had 554 yards in the opener against Colgate.ddddddddddddhe Cavaliers ran a deliberate, pro-style offense under Mike London but are speeding up tempo under former BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall and coordinator Robert Anae.The Hokies, similarly, were a huddle and run-first attack under Frank Beamer. Theyre now trying to push the pace under former Memphis coach Justin Fuente and coordinator Brad Cornelsen, using 10 players to run the ball in the opener against Liberty to keep players fresh amid the faster tempo.Coach Fuentes told us that hes going to give a bunch of guys the ball and a bunch of guys a chance to carry the ball, running back Sam Rogers said. I dont really know how theyre going to call the game. Thats up to them. Weve just got to run the play and execute it but we know that a lot of people have chances in this offense, which makes it a lot of fun.At N.C. State, head coach Dave Doeren turned to Drinkwitz to install a control-the-tempo attack to spark an offense that looked stagnant at times last season. The Wolfpack opened this year with 521 yards and 48 points against William & Mary.The changes elsewhere are more subtle.The man Drinkwitz replaced with the Wolfpack, Matt Canada, is now at Pittsburgh to run an attack still built around a powerful running game. The Panthers managed just 261 yards in their opening win against Villanova, though coach Pat Narduzzi said he thought it was more of a case of first-game jitters.The may have been the case and many of the new offenses are still taking shape. But that doesnt mean teams are slowing implementing the changes.Were not trying to take baby steps, Drinkwitz said. Were pushing this thing full speed. Thats what were doing. Were not easing our way into the water.---AP Sports Writers Gary B.
