8/12/08 Brewers (Suppan) at Padres (Baek): 9:05 PM CDT

[sheethead]

I can't believe how many people are "happy" mediocrity against two teams under .500. Good to see no matter what changes, some things will always remain the same.

 

3-3 = I can deal with it, not a problem per se

Better = Brewer Fever

Worse = I don't expect it, nor will I be happy. Do better than this.

 

PS. It's Ned' fault that I now hate Craig Counsell.

[crewcrazy]

Do Padre fans have the same questions about who's playing 2nd as Brewer fans do 3rd? I thought I heard some grumblings a while ago.

And, by the way, who is playing 2nd for the Padres tonight?

 

Padres lineup:

CF Jody Gerut .291 11 HR 32 RBI

SS Luis Rodriguez .242 0 HR 2 RBI

RF Brian Giles .296 8 HR 42 RBI

1B Adrian Gonzalez .281 28 HR 89 RBI

3B Kevin Kouzmanoff .281 17 HR 60 RBI

LF Chase Headley .259 8 HR 20 RBI

C Nick Hundley .222 2 HR 10 RBI

2B Tad Iguchi .243 2 HR 21 RBI

P Cha Seung Baek .188 1 HR 2 RBI

Before the season, who would've really thought we'd be 21.5 games ahead of the Pads by the time we faced them?

I wouldn't think Padres fans really care who is playing at this point, if i recall correctly.

[uecker9]

Just because they're not playing well? I would think they still care. Anyways, better for the Brewers that its Iguchi vs. E. Gonzalez hopefully.

No pitcher for the Padres? That must mean Padres forfeit! Brewers win! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'd imagine Padre fans are interested in seeing how their prospects like Headley and Hundley play. This year is pretty much done for them, so at least they get to see what their young guys can do.

[adambr2]

I am expecting a 2-4 roadtrip and I am fine with that. Just don't get swept in either series.

 

If those are our expectations, I hope we don't have any serious playoff aspirations.

LOL at Brian getting all excited about Hardy's flyball when it ends up about 20 feet from the warning track.

Haha...I must've started typing Baek's name and hit C instead of P. Although with that home run, you could argue he has better power than most catchers. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Ugh, I can't stand Counsell and it isn't even his fault.

[sheethead]

good try craig, you'll get em next time.

[Vgmastr]

The fastest guy on the team is running on the pitch, and Counsell still manages to GIDP.

[brewerjamie15]

sweet.

[trwi7]

Nice 0-2 pitch Gazpacho.

dang...

[wibadgers23]

Suppan is getting pounded here. A lot of hard hit balls. Even the outs.

[trwi7]

CAMERON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wibadgers23]

TIED!

[uecker9]

Cam!!! He'll have a good series.

[dlk9s]

If MLB.com Gameday is correct, the home plate umpire is randomly choosing between ball and strike.

[sheethead]

Wow soup, he couldn't be getting any luckier right now.

[logan82]

If MLB.com Gameday is correct, the home plate umpire is randomly choosing between ball and strike.

The home plate umpire does look pretty inconsistent. Saw one off the plate to Fielder that was called a strike and one the the pitcher missed badly to the opposite side of the plate that was called a ball even though it still looked over the plate. Just 2 I remember right off hand.

 

I forgot which player it was, but one of the Padres started to take off his shin guard on a called strike that looked like a ball.

nice AB JJ
