Ummm. Anyone warming? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

[pebadger]

This just sucks. I guess every team can't be as offensively inept as Toronto.

[Bruce Ciskie]

He got hit pretty hard, which will happen when a pitcher who relies on pinpoint control can't control the baseball.

 

Not a ton of walks comparatively speaking, but a lot of line drives.

[crewcrazy]

I'm sure the fans were cheering "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUP" as Ned came out to get Suppan.

[HurricaneBraun]

Wow, the can of soup was expired tonight

[Brewcrewin07]

This should not be happening. I guess I just don't get this team. You play so well in a 3 game sweep against the best pitching staff in the AL in Toronto, and you come back with this kind of effort on a day that you KNOW the Cubs have already won. This team is so frustrating. Great, as if Suppan wasn't bad enough, we get to see the crap that is DeFelice on the hill. This should end well.

[derflotr]

I hate it when drunken fairweathers boo a pitcher off the mound...especially considering how good he's been compared to what's expected of him. He just had a crappy game, big deal. No need to beat the guy up about it.

[pebadger]

Huge out by DiFelice. At least this gives them a reasonable chance to fight back, provided they don't go i100% into Brewer-swing-for-the-fence mode.

To be fair, the only Brewer playing really bad was Suppan. The bats came out swinging in the bottom of the first inning, and with the way Liz was controlling the ball in the first, I'd be surprised if they don't touch him up for a couple more runs before the night's out. If DiFelice can put up a few 0's, the Brewers might be able to crawl back into this one.

 

[Bruce Ciskie]

Suppan had a bad night. I've come around a bit on him, though. Normally, he does a good job keeping the ball down, and even when that means he walks a few guys, it rarely becomes disastrous.

 

Liz is absolutely hittable.

[pebadger]

Yeah, I'm sure Soup just figured he'd take the night off.

 

He was competing, he just couldn't get it done. Credit Baltimore for hitting some decent pitches early, and denting Soup's approach a bit. He just wasn't able to control the edges, so he wasn't going to get calls out there. Then he had to come in, and the O's did what they needed to do. The Jays may well have popped so of those pitches up over teh past few says.

[eanelson4]

this ump is tight tonight, isnt he?

[trwi7]

I hate it when fans who don't like booing act superior to the ones that do boo by calling them fairweather. If I paid money to watch this crapfest I would be pissed and boo too.

[crewcrazy]

Yeah, I thought some of Suppan's pitches could've been called strikes, but Liz is all over the place...not much controversy over his pitches being called balls.

[marquettefan13]

Nice 2 out RBI Counsell. It would be nice to see them make a comeback in this one.

[dlk9s]

You know, Counsell as been pretty good since he has been a starter.

[kiwi brewer]

as horrible and weird of a start as this game has had i still feel really good about a win.

 

call me Krazy. with a K.

 

this guy can't hit the stirke zone.

[pebadger]

The Crew will score again next inning. The key is for DiFelice to post a 0 in his half.

Cuzzi, Lane, etc...never good for the Brewers. They are the crew from heck...or Chicago.

[iluvlamp]

[ELCABALLO45]

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

[HurricaneBraun]

Last visit to County Stadium by the Orioles in 82 they started out on Friday night with 4 in the top of the 1st. In the bottom of the 1st Molitor got on, Yount homered and the Brewers won 15-6.

 

hmmmm, still a chance.....
