Cardinals sign Jeff Suppan

He's expected to join the team this weekend.

Hopefully he'll appear in every Brewers-Cardinals game the rest of the way.

welp

at least we will know whether Dave Duncan is a literal wizard or just a figurative one…

I'm thinking Suppan would be the ultimate test for him.

by cwatts78 on Jun 10, 2010 2:36 PM CDT up reply actions

I said it somewhere else

But now he’ll go 7-2 with a 4.20 ERA over the rest of the season.

Failure is just success rounded down.

4.20 ERA

Is that a Jeffress reference?

Pujols…he’s actually underrated

No, it's just a fantastical number for Suppan

Hilarious!

Thanks for the 200 grand, St. Louis.

As if 200 grand could possibly reverse the trauma we have all endured over the last 3 years.

Isn't it closer to 400?

EIther way it is Chris Smith’s salary.

by BrewCrewBrian on Jun 11, 2010 7:54 AM CDT up reply actions

The minimum is $400k for the year

But it’s pro-rated, so the Cardinals will pay Suppan only about 2/3 that.

Assuming they keep him for the entire season.

I do think they're on the hook for the entire rest-of-season minimum salary now.

by Zeyes on Jun 11, 2010 6:14 PM CDT up reply actions

Exactly, I shoudl have just said, "Thanks for Chris Smith's salary!"

i have the sinking feeling

suppan was sent to destroy the brewers, and now is returning home.

by goirish2107 on Jun 10, 2010 3:06 PM CDT reply actions

Yeah, he'll be playing for his next FA contract with the Brewers ;)

by Zeyes on Jun 10, 2010 6:11 PM CDT up reply actions

HILARIOUS!

If Suppan does well

Does it mean our pitching coach sucks, our defense sucks, or Jeff Suppan got Mark McGuire’s locker?

by drezdn on Jun 10, 2010 5:44 PM CDT reply actions

I think it just means that Dave Duncan is a mad scientist.

Yes.

I'm going to pick MM's locker.

It also means he ate some Wheaties ~~Steroids~~ Fuel.

I don't usually go over to VEB

But it’s kind of nice to see another team’s fans upset over Suppan

I'm so glad you posted this

It made me smile. If the Reds manage to trip up like their history dictates they will, the Brewers might now have a chance if they can get to 80 wins!

I wish they all could be Gallardo days

The Beach Boys will always earn a rec.

My prediction

Soup has 2 weeks to a month of good games and then proceeds to suck like a Dyson.

by drezdn on Jun 10, 2010 6:58 PM CDT reply actions

I thought

the Cards were looking to add pitching not fuel to the fire.

Kudos to nullacct for this one...

Yes

no I can root against Gazpacho and not feel bad about it.

Get well soon Ueck

When I saw the deadline

I just assumed it was the ceremonial one-day contract to retire with the team. Wowzers.

deadline?

by PagsBrewCrew on Jun 11, 2010 7:07 AM CDT up reply actions

You know, the dead line: 3.1 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 4 ER. Or thereabout.

So his first starting opportunity would be Tuesday

Facing the offensive juggernaut that is Seattle. Chances look slightly better for a shutout.

Failure is just success rounded down.

by TheJay on Jun 11, 2010 7:20 AM CDT reply actions

Let me remind you of a little number

Jeff Suppan had 11 swings and misses on fastballs last year.

And Seattle is fast.

by BrewCrewBrian on Jun 11, 2010 7:56 AM CDT up reply actions

Ichiro is insulted.

Does this mean the Brewers are off the hook for his option next year?
