9/14/08 Game 2: Brewers (Suppan) at Phillies (Myers): 6:35 PM CDT

[BrewCrewForever]

Well, if there was ever a "must win" in a MLB game. I would have to say tonight is.

 

Jeff Suppan (10-8, 4.63) vs. Brett Myers (9-11, 4.22)

 

TV: FSN

Radio: WTMJ 620 (Brewers Radio Network)

 

Games like this are why we gave Suppan that big contract, hopefully he comes through. But if our offense puts up 3 runs or less again it might not matter how well Jeff pitches, unless he has a shutout in him.

Are you freakin' serious? No Mike Rivera?

[Invader3K]

Did Rivera sleep with Yost's wife or something?

[Gobias Industries]

Is it common to have the exact same lineup for a day/night doubleheader?

I would say no, but I'm not the Manager. I'm not smart.

 

I would think you would change up 1 if not 2 players.

[JumpinMacFlash]

If it was really supposed to be a shakeup, put in Rivera and bat him seventh and put Gamel on third and batting eighth. Sure, he might make an error, but at this point will it really matter?

That would have been a fantastic idea. Might have actually worked.

[bucksman4]

Rivera's rear end is glued to the bench.

[Pedro]

I am so glad I am out of town and won't be able to succumb to temptation and watch this game. I will, however, succumb to other temptations and visit Bourbon Street tonight.

[Mike Felder]

Well, if something doesn't work once, just go right ahead and blindly try the same thing again. Are we SURE that's the game 2 lineup and not just a reprint from game 1? It boggles my mind that Kendall is playing again and that Counsell is in there against a lefty. Which of course means that this must be the lineup Ned's putting out there.

[jhart05]

Are they at the must win point yet?

[PeaveyFury]

It's practically astounding that Kendall is catching both games of a day-night double header in 90 degree temperatures.

Haiku time

 

Yost is a moron

I can't even watch this game

Someone shoot me please

Enjoy Bourbon Street Pedro! Also, love your new sig.

One more loss, and then we can talk about must win games. -Ned Yost

[BrewCrewForever]

Gobias, did Yost really say that?

[bensheeps]

Don't know what's worse...the way the Brewers are playing or the fact that I will sit and watch them again tonight.

[pitchleague]

and. . . . . Directv just blacked out 669.

 

Nice.

 

Bob and Jim . . . here I come!

[BrewCrewForever]

I just hope some kind of magical thing happened to this team between the end of the first game and the start of this one. I would love if we could put up 5 or more runs.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well Corey still looks lose.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

uggh...anyone know if this is on anywhere on DirecTV...is this an ESPN blackout?

[BrewCrewForever]

The Phillies to me just want this series more.

 

They pitch Moyer and Myers on short rest.

 

They pitch Lidge in non save situations to ensure easy 9th innings.

 

They look like they are hustling and just playing harder.

[brettac1]

Well, Big Game is off to a smashing start.
