I wonder if Theriot could have turned the DP on that? I don't think so with him having a noodle arm but he might have had a better shot. Not sure if Fontenot was in a position to take the throw though -
Despite McClung's good run at the end of last year, given his track record should he really be pitching in a one run game? I guess there aren't a whole lot of alternatives but jeez, McClung for the most part has not been a very good pitcher
-
You know the ump is bad when the opposing teams fans are wondering where that missed
-
Looper has to stop falling behind these hitters. He fell behind every hitter that inning but somehow managed to get them all out. Sooner or later he is going to start paying for that
-
How many times is Gameday going to show a pitch as a strike but it is really a ball? Cripes this is ridiculous if his strike zone really is that small
-
My early prediction will be 70/30 Brewers to Cubs fan. Atleast I hope. I hope the game goes good enough where the stadium sounds like it is 90/10.

There is a bank here in town promoting a new mortgage product to take advantage of the tax credit. Since you can't claim the credit before you actually buy a house, this bank will lend you the money on the assumption that they will recieve the $8,000 once you file your taxes or amended return. So they are basically taking an assignment on your taxes. I am not sure on the specifics as far as how they can take an assignment on a federal tax return but that is another story all together. The credit was not designed to be used for a downpayment but this bank is trying to use it that way. I am not sure if the Federal government would be all that thrilled that it is being used that way either. But if it kicks the real estate market up I suppose its not all that bad. I actually just got my $8,000 today plus the rest of my refund, I bought my house in February. For the first time in my adult life I will no longer have any credit card debt. Plus I have some money left over to due some home improvments. I am sure the government was hoping I would spend my entire $8,000 on purchases, services, etc but this is a once in a lifetime opporunity for me to wipe out all my credit card debt in one day and I am taking advantage of it.

The Crew is catching a little break in that Soto will be out atleast the first two games of the series and possibly even 3. That being said the pitching match-ups are incredibly in the Cubs favor, lets hope Harden doesn't yet have his good stuff today. Looper has done suprisingly well against the Cubs so I am hoping for a win today. I just don't want to lose these first two games and then have to rely on Suppan to avoid a sweep. 1-2 wouldn't be the end of the world but I will hope for 2-1.

Seems kind of that we are into the 3rd day of the year and I have yet to see a 2009 Silver Lining or 2009 Vent thread. It only bugs me because reading those threads sometime cools me off after a bad loss like the one on Opening Day

Lineup: Weeks Counsell Braun Fielder Hardy Cameron Hart Kendall Parra
-
Well Counsell is subbing for Hall today and is batting 2nd bumping Hart to the 7 spot. I guess I don't see a big problem with the lineup today, but I wouldn't have a problem with Hardy 2nd, Hart 5th, and Counsell 7th
-
The article says another member of the Angels organization was also in the car and was killed. Has anyone heard who that might be? I suppose it could be anyone from a front office person to another player but one would think if it was someone with a high profile that they would have been mentioned already. That is unless the family hasn't been notified yet What a sad story. I would guess there game tonight would be postponed for sure.
-
Holy crap that sucks. He was a very promising young pitcher. You never like to see these kind of accidents but they happen all the time. Angels fans probably had a pretty good high after his outing yesterday only to be devastated by this news. I wish his family the best
-
I am hoping that the issues last night were just first game issues and that FSN will make the necessary adjustments. I think I remember the first couple broadcasts from last year also being pretty awful. All that I ask is for a correct score, correct count, correct men on base, and that plays are never missed because some stupid camera is watching a cute couple in the stands wearing Brewers gear and the camera transition guy is on the john somewhere.
-
Overall I still think the Giants offense is rather pathetic. They were aided by an equally pathetic pitching effort by the Crew yesterday. Their middle of the lineup is one of the least formidable groups in the league. I am confident that Gallardo is going to be on tonight and that Giants fans will be singing a different tune tomorrow. I really don't like these 9 PM central starts. I normally get up around 5 to go workout, getting up that early is virtually impossible when I don't go to bed until 1230-100. It just screws up my entire next day because I didn't follow my routine. Not to mention the fact that if the Crew loses these late games I tend to have a difficult time falling asleep.

How long of a leash would you give Suppan?
fondybrewfan replied to DougJones43's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
What if Jeffress goes berzerk in AA and he is due for a quick promotion. Could that possibly expedite Suppan's move to the bullpen. I am by no means advocating moving Jeffress up quickly but the jump from AA to the MLB isn't exactly unheard of. I am guessing the unless Suppan has like a 6 ERA he will be in the rotation the entire year. I just hope that he would be skipped whenever possible. McClung isn't a viable alternative IMO. Maybe DeFelice could be effective in a starting role but I don't think I would trust anyone at AAA. -
Nice quick inning for Soup, this game is actually turning out a lot better than I had hoped. We will get timmy out early and espite the 4 runs, Suppan hasn't pitched all that bad
-
pitch count is still skyrocketing, a very good development, wouldn't mind a run or two either after the leadoff single
-
Well Suppan is doing a good job of proving Macha's point that his veteraness makes him more qualified for the opening day start
-
It is the first game and Hart is already messed up, swings at the 1st pitch in AB then K's on 3 pitches in AB #2 But I will take two runs and a heck of a lot of pitches
-
Well Timmy won't be out there for longer than 5 so hopefully Soup can keep the Giants at 3. Tim is going to have 50 pitches through 2 innings
-
And of course Hart swings at the 1st pitch after a walk
-
T Minus 30 minutes
-
I guess I don't see this big cell that is suppose to hit at game time. There is only a 15% of rain according to weather.com
-
I would agree that the crappy weather probably favors the Giants only because Lincecum strikes so many more people out. Suppan relies on his defense and the soggy field will probably slow everyone down.
