5/21/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Dodgers (Tomko): 9:10 PM CDT

[DHonks]

I was thinking about this during the game. I--like most others here--love Vin Scully. But he's talking about the Brewers more than Darron Sutton ever talked about our opponents, and Sutton used to draw a lot of heat for it. Is it just a double standard? IE, are we thrilled when another team's announcer gives us some love, but bitter when our announcer's praise other teams?

[jlau20]

So does Suppan go one more at 94 pitches or do they bring in Spurling?

 

I say have Jenkins pitch from left, save our bullpen.

[bucks2281]

I love those crappy lawn chairs in the Brewers bullpen. Definitely a Dodger Stadium staple.

[jloos19]

I get your point DHonks, but I think it's more that Scully gives a very interesting background of a player on the opposing team, instead of just saying that they're "gritty" and a "battler."

As long as Vin is talking I am listening.. I catch "For Love of the Game" all the time on cable to listen to him call a fake game.. .

I haven't heard him do it this year, but in past years he used to exclusively refer to JJ as "James Jerry." I always thought that was interesting.

 

And he has described Counsell and Gwynn as "tough outs." I wonder if there's some website dedicated to Dodgers fans complaining about Scully's praise for David Eckstein.

 

Also, watching this, I can't help but chuckle that I've never heard someone critique Andy LaRoche's "bad body," but they love pointing that out with Jeremy Brown.

Sac bunt trailing by 5 late? That's...interesting.

[Trowekamp]

Hmmm... Jeff.. how about getting someone out here.

[adambr2]

Careful, careful...one swing of the bat, and this is a 2 run game now....if the next guy reaches, it's time for Suppan to call it a day.

[mastershake76]

ooooh... I think I might have had Soup call it a night after that hit by LaRoche. But Mike Rollins and everyone else here is glad I'm not the manager, so hopefully Ned makes me looks stupid.

 

(edit: hit by Ethier is what I meant...LaRoche walked of course)

[RyDogg66]

Got a bad feeling about this one.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Starting feel like Philly last Monday. Come on bullpen

[Trowekamp]

I can't express the joy I feel at the Brewers not signing Pierre to play CF..

 

too bad we spent that money on Hall and Suppan..

[Trowekamp]

At some point don't the Brewers have to bring up Thatcher..

 

Seriously you already have two pitchers you can't throw in close games (Dessens, Spurling). you need a left that can get righties out as well..

 

I think this is more critical than getting Capellan back up..

[adambr2]

Suddenly, I'm very grateful for all those "insurance" runs in the 5th. If Rickie and Gwynn don't come through with big 2 out hits, we're looking at falling behind here.

[mastershake76]

Bume. Nice K Wise.

[bucks2281]

Beautiful, beautiful shift right there.

[Team Canada]

Time to break out my "Matt Wise is a robot of awesomeness" quote again.

[Weirdos19]

Just what we need at the end of May, NFL Live on ESPN.

 

Can't they figure it out? They are beating a dead horse big time! Suprised they aren't dissecting the draft again!!!

[bobskube]

Giants beat the Astros 4-0.

I'd still rather watch that than the WNBA games they insist on shoving down my throat. zzzzzz.

[Weirdos19]

or arena football.....

 

 

Stealing bases in this situation?

[DHonks]

man, a perfect throw. I hate it when catchers save their best throws for against us

That's not how we respect each others opinions.

 

 

(made tags work -TC)

[funkyplaidcoat]

i dig vin scully games...i hate the dodgers less because of him.

 

the only wierd thing is when they show him on TV. He looks like a robot...

 

too much aggression on the base paths? maybe.
