*RED ALERT THREAD* 8/28/07 Brewers (Suppan. 8-11, 4.85) at Cubs (Hill. 7-7, 3.67) 7:05 CT

[whynotthebrewers]

I can't believe other teams have guys who don't run out a dp ball. How dare Ramirez for not running.

[brewcrewnation]

JJ is 3-3. nice game

[bobskube]

Probably one of those stupid Yost moves to leave Suppan bat only to put Linebrink in so we avoid a big inning.

[dlk9s]

I don't envy Yost right now. I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions.

[pretendastronaut]

Man, I don't want to harp on Rickie, but both of those strike out pitches made him look foolish.

[rotoherb]

well, the general script for sixth/seventh innings in the second half of the season has been as follows: Allow the pitcher to hit and then end up pulling him after he gives up a run or two the very next inning. Let's hope nobody gave that script to the Cubs.

Anyone catch Ueck singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame? He said "root root root for the Brewers, you do the same for the Cubs..."

[DHonks]

Normally I'd be all about letting Suppan keep going, but man it must be tempting to try to go Linebrink-Tbow-Cordero.

 

I'd have Shouse up to start this inning, in case someone reaches

What was with the microphone thing at the end?

 

[RightFieldCoder]

He was blessing the crowd ala a Catholic Mass.

[endaround]

If you allow Suppan only one base runner the fact you don't pinch hit for him means you have no clue what you're doing.

[rotoherb]

considering how many ground balls Suppan has gotten tonight, I think I would have left him in for one more batter, but I can't argue too much with the decision.

[fondybrewfan]

And so it begins....

[hurricanecrush]

Gulp... I feel like I've seen this before.

That's what he says everytime he does the Stretch at Wrigley

[BrewCrewForever]

I tip my hat to Suppan tonight. He pitched well when we needed a good start. Okay now Linebrink show us why we traded for you.

[bobskube]

A great effort by Suppan.

 

However, this is usual idiotic Yost. We needed more than a bunt from a pitcher that was not going to be out there much more than a batter if he reached. It makes me sick.

 

Also, you put Linebrink in the stretch and out of his comfort zone for the first batter. Absolute stupidity!

[bucks2281]

You have to be kidding me. Not again. Please, Linebrink.

[hurricanecrush]

I... can't... watch. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tired.gif

[bucks2281]

Another blown save. Ugh, this Linebrink trade is starting to look bad.

[Rorschach88]

ok, three more runs and then i think yost will get someone else up in the pen.

[sheetsace]

wow this went bad in a hurry

[TeeJayh1980]

and history repeats itself. Deja Vu 2007

[RightFieldCoder]

I think I'm about to kill someone.

[BrewCrewForever]

Im so glad we traded Inman for Linebrink. No, not really.
