2009-04-07 Brewers (Suppan) at Giants (Lincecum): 3:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 10-6]

[FidoMcCokefiend]

He wasn't going to start for a while so they said he would pitch in relief today to keep his arm fresh. Only he has never had any success throwing in relief in the majors so it is no surprise he's not having any success now.

Thanks I figured I missed something like that. I was also hoping that line of thinking had ended with the previous regime, but alas.

Bob Howry...now there's some good memories. How about loading 'em up for Brauny!!!

[Oldcity]

No prob Bruce. I tend to dig the ever-changing facial hair of Dave Bush.

[Gobias Industries]

Brian Wilson, I believe.

[thablingster]

Craig Counsell's new batting stance really weirds me out after seeing him with his other stance for so long.

 

That said, he smoked that foul ball harder than I've ever seen Counsell hit a ball, ever.

[GormanHarvey]

Brian Wilson, I believe.

Oh yeah. Oops. He's good to quite good. Thanks G.I.

[iluvlamp]

So much for this being an enjoyable day of baseball. Gar. Must win the next two because I fear the Cubs. A 1-5 start would make me queasy.

[Bruce Ciskie]

No prob Bruce. I tend to dig the ever-changing facial hair of Dave Bush.

 

This one's meh with me. I'm pretty sure both he and Hart could have a small village of mice living on their faces and they wouldn't know it.

[GormanHarvey]

I know its only game 1, but same ol' Corey. I am having severe flashbacks to last sept

Braun vs Howry 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Oldcity]

Actually Wilson isn't good, or at least he wasn't last year.

[Gobias Industries]

Howry is a guy I wish we would have signed this last offseason. Good buy low signing for the Giants.

[GormanHarvey]

Man, this is going to hurt. Been awhile since I've had to bear the feeling of a loss on opening day. Cripes!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Betcha Howry feels good about that after last years game. Uggh.

 

Guess we wrote the game off anyway with Soup v. Cy Young, but didn't expect to lose it vs. their pen.

[adamb100]

The Giants are home run happy today.

[GormanHarvey]

Actually Wilson isn't good, or at least he wasn't last year.

Didn't he make the All Star game last year or was that 2 years ago?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Our bullpen is not good. Julio's days are numbered.

[PeaveyFury]

Somebody better make the Giants pee in a cup after this game or something....

[B2k1121]

The good news is that no matter how many runs SF scores it only counts as 1 loss...I think.

[bobskube]

Julio has the lasting power here like Tavares.

[Gobias Industries]

Jorge Julio is FAAAAAAAAANTASTIC!

 

I'd be shocked if he's on the team come June 1st.

[Oldcity]

Yeah he did but he didn't deserve it really. 1.44 WHIP, 4.63 ERA and pretty average peripherals.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

Not the pitching display you wanted to see here...

[BrewCrewForever]

I figured we would lose this game anyway with Suppan on the hill. And he did not disappoint with 6 earned runs in 4 innings. I fully expect Gallardo to be on tomorrow and get us a W.

Jorge Julio is FAAAAAAAAANTASTIC!

 

I'd be shocked if he's on the team come June 1st.

Id be shocked if he makes it out of April when Hoffman comes off the DL.
