Jeff Suppan is 11-2 with a 3.69 ERA in his career against Milwaukee and has won five straight decisions against the Brewers.

 

Consider this the time warp jinx of Jeff Suppan. Now lets get some runs against this guy! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

 

EDIT: Fixed pics.

How long before Bell gets one in his ear hole?

[brettac1]

Hopefully he won't even play to find out.

[hawing]

Looks like I'll miss most of the game, so I'll just knock on wood whenever I see some. Go Brewers. Surprise me.

Sorry, brettac, but Bell's getting the start.

 

Side note, maybe Sell Bell would go along with your tagline?

 

EDIT: Oops, a little late.

Side note, maybe Sell Bell would go along with your tagline?

 

Good suggestion.

[fondybrewfan]

I am sensing a blow out today, just not sure which way

[craigharmann]

Other than Pujols and Rolen, not a whole lot in the Cards lineup today really scares me. We definitely have a great chance to win this game today (and should've won last night!)

[crewcrazy]

With Spiezio, Belliard, and Taguchi in the starting lineup this looks more like the Memphis Redbirds. With that said, the Cards will probably win 8-2.

[PeaveyFury]

A Brewer batter is going to be ejected before this game is over, I think.

[adambr2]

Well, that run should be enough to send us to another series loss.

[adambr2]

Wow, it is DEAD tonight. Let's not fold up the tent for 2006 yet, folks. I know our offense is horrible, Sheets is down again, and we look like we have no shot. And if we lose tonight, we won't have won a series against a team not named the Reds in ...sheesh, who knows how long. But still. Maybe we get to see Zack Jack back in action these last two months. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[adambr2]

On that note, I think it may be time to stir up those "Fire Butch Wynegar" threads again. Seems like it's about that time.

[fondybrewfan]

Fire Butch Wynegar!!!

[Invader3K]

I think a lot of us would be more confident if the Brewers could string together more than two wins (or only one lately).

[fondybrewfan]

I still gotta good feeling about this one. Of course I say that about every game. Mench will break out of his slump later in the game and we will end up winning 5-3

[adambr2]

The George Webb $5 for 6 burgers with 5 runs deal is becoming disturbingly similar to the Menards Big Inning in terms of actual likelihood of ever occuring.

Yeah, I just said the same thing this morning in weirdos19's lineup thread on the Major League forum. There just aren't any lineups vs. righties that are very pretty.

[bullox]

I think my girlfriend might say that we need some points here.

[adambr2]

We're still only 5 1/2 games out of the playoffs. We are only down 1-0 in the current game, with a chance to win a series against the division leaders in their park. And yet, I am not even remotely excited right now. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[wisconsinfan47]

Yawn.

 

What a lame offense...

 

I would hate to waste an outing like this by Cappy.

[Bruce Ciskie]

This is embarrassing.

 

Why haven't the morons who are paid to call this game on TV bothered to mention that Jeff Suppan came into this game with an ERA of 5.07? Isn't it okay to bring this up, instead of talking about how good Jeff Suppan is?

 

You know what? I shouldn't even be bothering.

 

Oh, and defensive stalwart David Bell just let Scott Spiezio pick up a bunt single. What a waste. What channel is the car race on? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[PeaveyFury]

They did mention and show Suppan's ERA when he took the mound in the first inning.

 

They also pointed out how Suppan dominates the Brewers.
