[pebadger]

If they can't beat Liriano, given the way he's pitched recently, I fear for the rest of the series.

[Glennron]

Actually, Liriano hasn't been too bad his last three starts.

[stoutdude04]

Here comes both pitchers pitching more towards the "norm".

[Brewtacular]

Well the Crew is actually on TV tonight since I live in MN. Unfortunately, this almost certainly means they will lose. They prefer to torture me by losing whenever I actually get to watch them.

[owbc]

Suppan's pitch count already at 25.

[wibadgers23]

Awesome start.

[pebadger]

I never expected this.

[theavrock]

Jesus. What is it about the Twins? We cannot beat them

[lukevan]

Welp, glad I have to work tonight so I don't have to suffer through another Twins beatdown. Much like brewtacular, I only get to see them so often living in MN.

[dlk9s]

We'll get one run back in the bottom of the first.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Kendall is flat out garbage. Cant wait till he is off this team.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Kendall is garbage? Oddly, I was thinking the same thing about Suppan.

 

Unfortunately, we're going to have to put up with Suppan a lot longer than Kendall.

[owbc]

If Suppan is garbage, what does that make Bush, Looper, and Parra?

[UeckerAddict]

Starting to feel like:

 

Brewers are to Twins as

Pirates are to Brewers

[Yeti73]

I feel like all the Twins crushing hits have been with 2 outs this year. Maybe that is just the way it feels, but I feel like with 2 outs, I'm sure they're going to score.

 

We on the other hand...

[lukevan]

you were wrong dlk9, we got 2!

[dlk9s]

you were wrong dlk9, we got 2!

Yeah, my prognosticating sense is a bit conservative tonight.

[pebadger]

How can McGehee not be paying attention with a guy like Gomez at teh plate?

[bklynbrewcrew]

Why is Cameron playing Gomez so deep.

[pebadger]

No doubles defense with two out. Oh, wait . . .

 

Just be happy it wasn't in the dome. It would have bounced so high when it came down it would have been a triple.

[jeffy]

It wasn't just McGehee, Cameron seemed pretty nonchalant about that whole play.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Another night, another non-quality start. Soup has been our second best pitcher too...that really speaks well of the staff. Ugh.

[pebadger]

I think it's just NL pitching vs. AL hitting these past few weeks. The only saving grace has been the Cleveland bullpen. Even teh red-hot Rockies didn't hit the Brewers hard.
