4/24/07 Brewers (Suppan) @ Cubs (Hill): 7:05 PM CDT

[Team Canada]

Yeah, Suppan probably goes another one now. Huge performance to give the bullpen some rest.

[tookej]

Soup at 100 pitches going into the 8th. Anyone think he needs a CG? I don't.

[sheetswannabe]

These teams make me hungry.

[mastershake76]

come on prince, pound this tomato can.

[bobskube]

I've seen too many games this year to think we are out of the woods. This team likes to make it interesting.

[JET15]

I'm open to the idea that I notice it more with cub nation because their fans, as a group, are so irritating.

 

I'm with you, brother. I posted it last night and someone else posted the same comment about it at the very same minute, so it's not just you.

 

I wonder if there are more not-really-baseball fans who are Cub Fans. They just like to pretend. They get the tickets because it's the thing to do and they hang out with other non-fans.

[PeaveyFury]

Does that happen with any other team's fans? I'm open to the idea that I notice it more with cub nation because their fans, as a group, are so irritating. But I don't notice it with other teams' fans.

 

It happens in most places (including Milwaukee) on deep flys, well hit balls, etc even if they're caught.

 

But Cub fans seriously explode into cheering anytime a ball leaves the infield.

Nice to see that Rocky decided to start pitching the day after they need him...

[crewcrazy]

Looking like it'll be Shousey in the bottom half of the 8th.

[tookej]

Who are the cubs going to throw out to pitch tommorow?

[rluzinski]

Why have Mench and Jenkins turned into Super Stars?

[pitchleague]

good hitting, Corey!

[crewcrazy]

I believe it'll be Ted Lilly.

I don't know but I say trade them now. I wan't to be able say I told you so when they go cold for 3 days.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Trowekamp]

If this was slow pitch softball where we could have 4 OF's and then have one of the others pitch I don't think they would lose a game..

[crewcrazy]

Corey seems awfully good at those "Throw the bat at the ball and go the opposite way" kinds of hits. Not that I'm complaining. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Well, that's more what I was talking about. It's like they're so excitable that mere bat-ball contact sets them off. That's freakish, right?

[pitchleague]

darn.

 

Soup still on?

[JET15]

Why have Mench and Jenkins turned into Super Stars?

 

I think they're battling to be regular starters. Their pride is pushing them to a higher level.

[sheetswannabe]

Im waiting for the Cubs next minor league player getting called up. His name is Chocolate Cake.

Let's not ask why. In fact, let's not even talk about it. Look! An airplane!

[LUKE232323]

Suppan has been absolutely amazing tonight.

 

Down to a 3.00 ERA.

They are being used properly. Mench flat out rakes against left-handers and Jenkins hits well vs Righthanders

[JET15]

They're gonna call this soon. Book it, Dano

Definitely. It's a party that happens to be at a cool baseball stadium.

 

I was bartending in Minnesota back when the Twins made the World Series in 87. All of a sudden every one in Minnesota is a baseball fan. Anytime a Twins batter got his bat on the ball, people would jump up and start cheering. That was a long 2 weeks.
