Game Thread #140: Padres (53-86) at Brewers (80-59)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 213 comments

San Diego Padres @ Milwaukee Brewers


Ok, well, that sucked.  We do have a nice little respite from what could turn out to be a tough month: four games against the Padres then three with the Reds. 

Tonight could be interesting, with the matchup of Jeff Suppan and Shawn Estes.  They've both been around for about the same amount of time, and seven or eight years ago, the smart money might have been on Estes to have the better career.  But Suppan stayed healthy, so now he'll stay in a higher tax bracket for the rest of his life. 

Game time is 7:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.

Go Brewers!

Oh, we should do OK then.

my thought exactly

if the brew crew can’t beat a first place team, well, at least it oughta be able to take out their frustrations on a last place team….

by ahtrap on Sep 4, 2008 7:09 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

however

this strategy may not work out well in the playoffs.

by molitorfan on Sep 4, 2008 7:48 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

hmm

well, then, the Brewers are just going to have to figure out a way to win the division, and then play a wildcard team, likely the cubs in the NLDS, and beat them, because they wouldn’t be a first place team at that point, and then hope that the D-backs get past the mets or the phillies, because they’re a crappy excuse for a first place team

and then, in the world series, take out the AL wild card team (which, given that it’s looking like Boston right now, wouldn’t be a far fetched scenario), and voila, party time in Milwakee!

it could happen

by ahtrap on Sep 4, 2008 7:52 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

There is a problem with your plan.

If the Brewers win the division, they can’t play the Cubs in the first round. So either way, the Brewers are playing the winner of the West in the first round.

by Rick B on Sep 4, 2008 8:15 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Except that they will play the winner of the East

if they don’t win the division. Winner of the Central will play the winner of the West (assuming the the Central winner has the best record in the NL which looks like a lock.) and the winner of the East will play the Wild Card team.

add in with a 5 game losing streak, and some cub fans are ready to jump off the sears tower….

with nothing to do on an off day I figured Id come over here and read ya’lls duscussion, and I had to laugh at this. Some of the cubs fans are really freaking out over the 5 game losing streak like its the end of the season, instead of just a slump. Kinda made me laugh.

Yep, we got lucky though

Ya’ll lost 3 in a row during the stretch so u’ve only made up 2 games. I think we both can understand how fast a lead can disappear, ya’ll gained 4 games on us after the all star break in as many days I think.

Seems like as bad as his offense has been, his defense has been exceptional. Saw that play on Squeeze Play where he flipped the ball backhand after a diving stop – crazy good.

by ol Pete on Sep 4, 2008 7:35 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed

That was a great play. His defense is such an improvement over Bill Hall’s from last year. Every time a ball was hit to center field last year I was worried.

Jeff Suppan vs. Dave Bush

It seems like every time Dave Bush is at the plate and I’m listening to the radio broadcast, Jim Powell makes sure to talk about how he’s a fairly good hitter for a pitcher. Does he do the same for Jeff Suppan who, even without that single, has hit better than Bush over his career? I can’t remember.

by TheJay on Sep 4, 2008 7:39 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bush

I think that the only reason that say that over and over and over again is because Bush used to be a catcher in college so he actually got to hit. I don’t have any idea how well he did, but that is the only reason I can think that they would say that.

I usually listen to the radio only if I’m not by a TV. I’ve just heard Jim Powell talk about Bush’s hitting enough that it’s burned into my memory.

My fault?

Last year I paid for a down payment for 08 season tickets so I could get playoff tickets. Collapse.

Today I gave them all my money for post season, and look what happened.

I disagree

This first week of September is like the last week of July. That means we should have another four and a half weeks of awesome after this. That brings us to into October before we stink again.

If they aren't going to score

They could at least help Kouzmanoff set the assists record.

That’s gotta be some kind of record for the Brewers.

by ol Pete on Sep 4, 2008 9:11 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

on a positive note

I know Kendall is hitless today, and his OPS is somewhere sub-700. But the mere mention of Estrada’s name made me so thankful that we have Kendall instead of Estrada. Estrada was the opposite of grit. Usually being slow and unathletic should count into one’s KUG, but in Estrada’s case he combined it with a lack of hustle and apparently a bum knee.

This is all apropos of nothing.

Last I heard.. Jim Powell said he tore part of the muscle off the bone and might miss the rest of the season.

in that case

maybe we should give him a new nickname

by keephopealive on Sep 4, 2008 9:21 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why?

He’s so much of the muscle that his bones/tendons failed him. Obviously he’s muscley.

by SgtClueLs on Sep 4, 2008 9:31 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nope

I have no clue how he wasn’t able to bounce back like Braun…

Hi guys

The Reds played early, the football game is over, and I can’t watch the news because Mr. Magoo is accepting his party’s nomination. How’s things here? How has everyone been?

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
