PrintLVP: Jeff Suppan (-.310)
Win Expectancy graph
SB Nation coverage
Jeff Suppan and Adam Wainwright locked horns tonight in a rematch of their epic battle ten days ago, and the result was much the same: Wainwright was dominating, but he was again overcome by Suppan's complete mastery of the game.
The Brewers scored the only run they'd need in the 3rd inning. After a Craig Counsell single, Casey McGehee walk, and Ryan Braun HBP loaded the bases, Prince Fielder expertly worked the count before driving in the coffin nail.
Though Suppan had struggled initially, he was heartened by the run and came out firing bullets in the 4th inning, handcuffing the fearsome murderer's row that is the St. Louis lineup with his veteran wiles. Yep, old Soup really put on a pitching clinic as he continues to make Doug Melvin look like a genius for locking him at the low, low rate of $12.5M this year.
The only negative in the game came after Braun had to leave as a result of being hit in the 3rd with what is being termed a bruise, but who can be bothered by such trifles after tonight's emphatic statement of dominance by the Brewers?

I'm pretty sure this goes beyond spin and into what I like to call "outright lying"

we can't even win when we cheat
..stupid cake-eater shit
mighty ducks style!
"This one means 'Kill Kirk!!!!'... And also, 'hallelujah'... Depending on the context."
Let's hope
Braun is okay and we will live to fight another day.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
He better be
Otherwise, Wainwright best watch himself :-p

We were due to lose one to the Cards
Its not like they are the Pirates plus you knew Soup was due for a game like this
the lack of offense lately has me disturbed but not ready to climb on the ledge yet
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
You ledge climbing led us to the playoffs last year though :)
battlekow: Bill is having an oppo-gasm
they got very lucky last year
They did their damnest to give it away people tend to forget how they did collapse in September because they Mets collapsed worse
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
Yeah, the offense is the real story
It’s frustrating that Braun will no doubt miss tomorrow’s game just as Hardy comes back.

LBJ
tied it with half a second left
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
With .2 seconds left
he then went on to fund Medicaid and Medicare. “Here’s your Great Society, beeyotch.”
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
I wonder what Gord Ash would Twitter about Suppan's performance.

Yeah, this is clearly the rational viewpoint
We’re all such emotional assholes. Thanks for being the voice of reason in this time of tumult.

He's been fantastic, 4.61 ERA since his first 7 career starts
Sign him to an extension!

ERA! ERA! ERA! ERA!
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.

You can say that again

I can't believe we got over 600 comments in
In their recent losses, they sure have served notice that they’re out of it right away.

Not looking good from the West Coast, either
Bartolo Colon has held the Halos scoreless through 5. He’s pitching like Bart circa 2005, not Bart circa 2009.
offer his fat ass a sandwich
get him off his game ;)
Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S
this summary was stolen
from espn’s analysis of the lebron-howard matchup tonight. cmon cow, dont just replace the team names with baseball players.
spin ftw
Anybody have the video of Suppan's HR?
Didn’t see it mentioned anywhere in the recap, strangely enough.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
