PrintYay! A team that is almost certainly worse than we are!
Jeff Suppan goes for the Brewers against opening-day starter Odalis Perez. Perez has been quite useful this year; in fact, much of the Nats rotation has been decent. And they're cheap, too. I think the entire starting five is working for about what Suppan makes in a month.
Perez is a lefty, which would seem to bode well, at least for Bill Hall's playing time. Here's the BR Game Preview, and game time is 6:35 CT. Fun matchup of the day: Cristian Guzman has faced Suppan 44 times, and has an OPS of .399 in those PAs.
Go Brewers!

So who's packing their stuff?
And is it to AAA or being traded away? If they’re sending Gwynn down, they may as well admit they are giving up on him and trade him for whatever value they can get.
Probably,
but why would they wait to announce it then?
Whenever prince is at first, he should charge the mound and yell "MEAT!"
Gagne to DL, says Jim Powell

Hmmm
Wonder why they waited so long? Was it supposed to be a secret?

Failure
My flight out today got canceled so I get to hang out tonight and watch the Brewers before trying the flight thing again tomorrow. I would like to dedicate tonight’s game to the wonderful people at Air Tran airlines.
"first home run of the year"
Gak I hate to hear that. I think the hit to Gorzo was a first for the year too.
oh my
yes, I am still quite hung over, but I saw that in Pena’s eyes before he hit it.
Extra Day
I guess Soup didn’t spend his extra day studying the hitters. DO NOT throw Willy Mo the heater. He can’t hit anything else. Hasn’t he ever seen the movie Major League?
Dmitri
has a son as big as Prince was at that age

Brian - 2 out runs a concern for Brewers pitching
Yeah, along with a dozen other things, including having five starters. I noticed that Bush is still penciled in for his next start. I have a hard time believing it.
Do they play anybody but the Pirates?

Perez - Gorzo - Scott Olsen
All seem like the type of pitcher the Brewers hit really well last year.
i spoke..
when gameday had zimmerman doubling
so…why hasn’t ned been out yet?

Maybe Ned's strategy...
...is to empty the Nat’s bench. That way they won’t be able to pinch hit anyone when we have the lead. Mwhaaaaa!

wow
if only we could have had that ratio yesterday…
that would have been about 20 runs

wtf?
take out the only .300 hitter on the team?
by PagsBrewCrew on May 23, 2008 8:36 PM CDT up reply actions
...or replace cameron
it’s not like he’s doing much…
I can see they want offense, so they didn’t remove Braun, despite his lack of hitting with RISP…but HART?????

Why does Ned warm up a half dozen pitchers who never get in?
No wonder they burn out. I wonder if that is what Cordero didn’t like.
but why would it affect him?
has Gagne ever warmed up before the 8th (aside from when he was not the closer?)
by PagsBrewCrew on May 23, 2008 8:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Maybe he warmed up a lot when he didn't get used - don't know.
But he did say he was unhappy about the way he was used.
Crazy
After Monday’s rumor of Ned’s demise who would have thought that TWO other managers would be fired before him. I don’t think McLaren and Randolph will both survive the long weekend.
No
he means a Valentine.
Dear Brewers fans,
Sorry we suck this year.
Love,
Every Brewers batter besides Braun
Funny
Nats announcers saying the Crew is under performing because of the bullpen and “they have they hitters and the sluggers”. I guess the Nats announcers are impressed with the 14th best batting average in the National League (Brewers) when the Nats have the worst batting average in the league (16th).
I think people look at the cumulative ERA and assume everyone is sucking. Take out Gagne and Turnbow, I wonder what happens.
i think though...
if you take out Gagne and Turnbow, you have to take out the two worst of any team you’re comparing them too…
afterall, Gagne and Turnbow are/were valid parts of our pen and other teams have individuals that suck too
by PagsBrewCrew on May 23, 2008 9:07 PM CDT up reply actions
who is riding the pine?
Counsell, Rivera and Kapler?
if so, pinch hit the backup catcher if you get a chance…
:)
if it makes it around to Cameron, pinch hit for him please Ned. Kapler.
by PagsBrewCrew on May 23, 2008 9:14 PM CDT up reply actions
i guess
i guess we didn’t lose anything from taking hart out.
seeing as counsell pinch hit that slot and actually got a hit.
oh, well…game over.

lol. Ned quote
””All winter long I thought to myself, ‘We’ve always started strong and then finished bad,’” he said. “You hate to do it, but I’d sure like to start bad so we can finish strong.”
“So far,” he added with a chuckle, “we’re right on schedule.”“
