It's not even the fact that we are going to lose this game today... It makes me sick to know that with the amout of $$$ we owe Suppan over the next few years, he will probably be in our rotation during that time...

[wisconsinfan47]

Burrell is just as dangerous as Howard IMO...That intentional walk sucked.

[nate82]

Ugggg why do you go inside on Burrell? Why? You just made a good pitch on the outside why go inside? Come on Suppan and Kendall if you are going to come inside at least throw another pitch on the outside before coming in.

The fans weren't booing Soupcan, they were saying, "Yoooooooouuuuuuuuu suck."

[DougJones43]

Sveum and the Brewers are getting exactly what they deserve for starting Suppan today.

[RockCoCougars]

Please remove him from the game while there is a remote chance. Hopefully he can be removed from the roster by the beginning of next year. Maybe he can be moved in a big multi player team where the Brewers take a bad contract back as well. If they were able to unload Grissom, one would think that anybody could be moved.

[BrewCrewForever]

Better pinch hit for him here and go with Parra or Seth in the 4th.

 

No more runs for the Phills and we need to start scoring some or this could be it.

[BillyRed]

Doesn't Sveum understand that if we lose we are done? The leash has been way too long for Suppan. To allow back to back HR's in inexcusable. Once that 3 run HR was hit, he should have been gone.

[thablingster]

Powell in a rather stoic tone as the cascade of boos rain down: "I think they're saying "sooooup", I'm not sure." ... I thought it was kind of funny.

 

I'm at work so I can't watch, but were the pitches just meatballs or were they good pitches that just got hit out?

[ELCABALLO45]

Meatballs

[Ennder]

The sad thing is just how predictable it all was. No fans expected Suppan starting to end up a good thing.

[wisconsinfan47]

They were bad pitches, straight up.

[ELCABALLO45]

Kendall should never hit the ball in the air.

[yfinn6]

Fans cheering, Soup must be out.

[BrewCrewForever]

Thank God.

[adamb100]

wow, CC pinch hitting.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Wait, wasn't Suppan a veteran, big game pitcher?

 

Suppan should have never seen an inning this series. YoGa, Parra, Seth were all much better options than this joke of a pitcher.

[endaround]

Sabathia hitting? Is this June?

[iluvlamp]

CC you are awesome! I thank you for all you did!!!

[ELCABALLO45]

Why would you pinch hit with Sabathia? That is just stupid.

[fallingleaves]

Shame on Sveum for starting Soup, I don't think he should get rehired as the manager because of this. This is an example of why you should never make a "splash" signing. Looking at the Philies numbers against Soup, I am aghast as to why Yovani didn't get the start here.

[OOOverbay]

Suppan sucks so much. Sveum is more stubborn than Ned ever was. How could you possibly think Suppan would be a good starter vs. the Phillies today?

[BrewCrewForever]

Gallardo should have started this game. No one but Dale Sveum though Suppan was a good idea.

[JMBehnke]

Jeff Suppan must pick up his check with a ski mask and a gun.

[giffted1]

Pinch hitting CC is beyond stupid. Yeah, he's a good hitter for a pitcher, but a terrible hitter compared to other hitters.
