09/30/2007: Padres (Tomko) at Brewers (Suppan), 1:05 PM CDT

[hawing]

Though your Milwaukee Brewers will once again not be playing in October, they try to end their 2007 campaign on a high note. Today's game may well be the last in a Brewer uniform for Geoff Jenkins and who knows which other players. (Website plug: bf.net will be paying attention throughout the off-season.)

 

The Padres are where we all wished the Brewers to be: still in contention. They hope to win clinch the NL wild card over several other teams, all of whom sport better records than anyone in the NL Central.

 

Come root, root root for the home team and salute them for the thrills they provided us this year.

My last game was yesterday, didn't win anything, but our usher gave us 2007 Brewers pins.

 

I'll be watching today, hard to believe it'll be about 4+ months until Spring Training...I guess I'll have to resort to watching the Bucks, Packers and Badgers...

 

Hopefully we can play spoiler and help with that four way tie that could occur if SD loses, and NYM, PHI and COL all win.

 

Plus it would be sweet to avoid an 80-loss season right?

I was hoping to get to this game, but I didn't end up getting tickets. Maybe I will just have to give my TV a standing O, hahaha.

[IslandsAC]

Wow, there is no 'other game thread', but in a game the Mets kind of would want to win, Glavine laid an egg and gave up 7 runs in the top of the first. Yikes.

[thablingster]

Fielder is out today due to his sprained shin/ankle from yesterday.

 

Lineup:

 

2B Weeks

SS Hardy

3B Braun

RF Gross

CF Hart

1B Dillon

LF Jenkins

C Miller

P Suppan

NHL Center Ice is free for the first two weeks of the season. On my TWC, the MLB and NHL packages use the same channels, so I'm getting all the games free today. If anyone wants to watch the NL playoff race unfold, check to see if you're getting Extra Innings for free today as well.

That was a really awesome video montage during the pre-game show.

 

I'm missing the baseball season already. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

is there a reason why prince isn't in the line up?

[crewcrazy]

The Brewers could make the entire NL a huge mess by winning today. Unfortunately, it looks like they're content with taking their 82 wins and going home for the winter...Joe Dillon starting at 1B over Prince?

Prince was injured yesterday.

Prince was injured yesterday.

 

yeah, he still played the rest of the game. so i figured that he would be ok. I guess really don't need to play him today, would have been nice for the fans though.

[Vgmastr]

All Prince did after getting hurt, though, was get intentionally walked. I was at the game yesterday, and on Rottino's hit, he limped and hobbled his way over to 2nd. Brian and Bill said it's a high ankle sprain.

Haudricourt said in his blog that Prince's leg pain got worse over the night and he was pretty much hobbling around so he pretty much couldn't play.

No need to play him one bit then. I figured he was hurting more.

[jason21nl]

hart is going to be really really good

[craigharmann]

Write it down. Hart WILL have a 30-30 year next year.

[1992casey]

Jason, I sprained my ankle pretty badly once. I walked around on it just fine until I sat down for a while. I'd guess that this was one of those injuries that felt worse as time elapsed.

yeah, I agree. I can see him limping around. ankle sprains are horrible

[jason21nl]

come on braun, one last ROY push

[craigharmann]

Nicely done! And 2 guys in scoring position

[jason21nl]

crew takes the lead!

[craigharmann]

83-79 is sure looking good!

[jason21nl]

way to fight guys, way to fight!

[whizkid]

I was hoping for a HR and curtain call for Geoff in what I hope is his last game with the Brewers(at least at $9M) but Geoff doing what Geoff does best.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Gabe is simply GROSS! Get ready for more AB's in 2008.
