[BrewCrewForever]

We really need "hot" Soup today. A win today insures a winning road trip which would be great since this is the longest one of the entire season.

[Invader3K]

As long as Suppan can keep the Brewers in the game, I think the offense will continue hitting like they have. A win would be fantastic, like BC'04 said.

[Ennder]

This is a pretty terrible offense if Lee ends up sitting so hopefully Suppan can keep us in it.

[wOOgiE22]

Here are the lineups for tonight. Let's go for 4 in a row!

BREWERS
2B Ricke Weeks
RF Corey Hart
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Mike Cameron
SS JJ Hardy
3B Bill Hall
C Jason Kendall
RHP Jeff Suppan

ASTROS
2B Kazuo Matsui
CF Michael Bourn
1B Lance Berkman
LF Carlos Lee
SS Miguel Tejada
RF Hunter Pence
3B Geoff Blum
C Ivan Rodriguez
LHP Mike Hampton

[razzzorsharp]

Lee is in, dang. Anyone ever figure out the issue?

[GormanHarvey]

Augie + HD = bad

[GormanHarvey]

Lee is in, dang. Anyone ever figure out the issue?

Slight hamstring pull is what they just said on the pregame

 

EDIT: Now Rock and BA said it is a slight Achilles problem

[GormanHarvey]

I really hope Soup is on his game because him pitching in that ballpark worries me...

[BrewCityUnit]

Yeah I agree Gorman, seeing Augie in HD was not pretty.

[GormanHarvey]

Thought we might get Soup out to an early lead there until Corey quickly dashed those hopes Edited April 25, 2009 by GormanHarvey

[GormanHarvey]

First off, Bourne just flat robbed Cam there. That ball was crushed. Secondly, just ran the DVR back and Hall was SAFE

[razzzorsharp]

I hate Tejada and I still think he will crush 2 HRs this series.

[razzzorsharp]

Bill, walking Geoff Blum on purpose was not his intention, or at least I hope not. It's Geoff Blum.

[jeffy]

Bill, walking Geoff Blum on purpose was not his intention, or at least I hope not. It's Geoff Blum.

I'd hope it was, since most of the pitches were not close.

[trwi7]

Bill, walking Geoff Blum on purpose was not his intention, or at least I hope not. It's Geoff Blum.

Blum is 13-24 in his career against Suppan with a 1.518 OPS. So while it is Geoff Blum, Geoff Blum has smacked Suppan around.

[razzzorsharp]

I guess, and with 2 outs it makes sense, but I really don't have much fear of the Bluminator.

[wOOgiE22]

Wow what luck the Crew has had tonight. Cam getting robbed now the ball hitting Corey, which would have scored a run.

[LaprilOne]

Ouch, that was 2, maybe 3 runs.

[GormanHarvey]

Man, sometimes if you don't have bad luck you would have no luck at all. That would have been at least one run had it not hit Hart!

[razzzorsharp]

Ouch, that was 2, maybe 3 runs.

It was more than likely just the one run, but it hurts.

[GormanHarvey]

Soup! Lookin real sharp!

[BrewCityUnit]

That a baby Prince....I would love to see what happens when Rickie Braun and Prince are all hot at the same time.

[TooLiveBrew]

Fwiw, Uecker just announced (he's been a guest on the FSN Houston broadcast for the 4th inning) that he was just contacted about doing another Major League movie.

 

"Harry Doyle lives" was his quote http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Ennder]

Sucks that Suppan is out pitching Hampton by a decent margin yet we are losing 2-1. Baseball is funny like that.
