2009-05-16 Brewers (Suppan) at Cardinals (Wainwright): 12:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 1-0]

It was a boring game, but a win is a win. And I will take them anyway we can get them. I wanna win the division this year so bad. After that taste of October as the Wild Card I want a division title so all the Cubs and Cardinals fans can eat it.

I saw a picture of Wainwright pumping his fist and screaming after striking out Weeks in the 8th, I wonder if Pujols got into it with his teammate for such a classless act.

 

Suppan pitched great today. That is the guy we always used to face who frustrated us so much. For the most part he kept the ball down and on the corners.

I really want to know how much Jason Kendall had to do with that great performance. I hear the "calls a great game" cliche all the time from the TV folks. I want to rip him so bad for his failed bunt and overall lack of offense but does this happen without him?

 

I doubt it would make a difference. Bush had his near no hitter with Rivera catching as an example, the whole C calls a good game thing is overblown.

 

May 28th, 2008 we won 1-0 against the Braves in a game where Suppan went 8 IP with 0 R.

Aug 1st, 2008 we won 9-0 against the Braves in a game where Suppan went 7 IP with 0 R.

Sept 25th, 2007 he went 8 IP, 1 R

April 30th, 2007 he went 9 IP, 1 R

April 24th, 2007 he went 8 IP, 0 R.

 

So while yeah Suppan doesn't have many chances at a 1-0 game he is in the running for it a couple times a year.

Great win here for the Soup! I know he has his ups and downs but he's really been pitching well as of late. First place is nice!

I agree, though I wouldn't frown at another wild card berth. I just think it would be nice to just completely beat out all five other teams in the division.
