Brewers MUST win this game, IMO!!!!!!

[hawing]

Fun fact: In our 20 game pack, we somehow managed to see every starter except Jeff Suppan, until June 27.

Since June 27, Soup has been the starter at six of the eight games on the hawing ticket. Tonight will be the seventh of nine, and the fifth in a row.

 

Soup enters tonight's game with a 9-11 record and 4.74 ERA. Kirk Saarloos sports a record of 1-4 and an ERA of 7.39. The Brewers are 5-0 in franchise history when the bf.net Fan Fest is in the house.

 

What magic will the Fan Fest bring to tonight's game? Follow it and see.

Doesn't something always damatic happen on bfn.game?

[jlau20]

I'm going tonight, I think I'm in the bleachers somewhere, I'm planning on catching Ryan Braun's 1st, 2nd and 3rd home run balls on the night.

[Mike Felder]

I'll be there with my wife, brother-in-law, and his girlfriend. We're sitting up on top of the world in 439, hoping for the BF FanFest magic to strike again!

[brewcrewnation]

just looked on brewers.com only tickets for tonite are sro.

[Mass Haas]

Earlier this season, Saarloos allowed 11 consecutive batters to reach base, linked below.

This just has to be a "W" tonight, first time I've echoed those exact sentiments all season, although I've seen that thought in these IGT's as early as May. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tongue.gif

I'm heading out in a few, and by the time I get to the game I better see a Cubs loss on the scoreboard.

Brewers, just don't be 3 games out at the end of the day. That's all.

[pebadger]

Potential bandwagon-thinner tonight. WIthout question the closest thing to a must-win yet this season. The worst-case scenario could be a real killer.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Here's hoping that my dream last night of fielder and braun both hitting four Hr's tonite comes true! Go Brewers!

[ttsather]

(Mostly) clean-shaven Braun = somehow furthering ROY candidacy tonight.

 

 

(As I write, he makes a great diving play . . . )

[brewcrewnation]

Saaloos made his mlb debet for the Houston in Milwaukee. he just got married and that was there honeymoon was. His first time around the order he did good and then we crushed him.

[brewcrewnation]

Nice quick inning there 3 up 3 down pitch count is at 9

[jjfanec]

I cant think of a better possible half inning for suppan. 3 ground ball outs on 9 pitches

[brewcrewnation]

brewers have the lead 1-0

[brewcrewnation]

bases are loaded we need to score more runs

[brewcrewnation]

Geoff rbi single 2-0 good start

[phatmatt1215]

This is a MUCH BETTER START than last night. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!

[IslandsAC]

UECK! give me a break. My reception is coming in and out and I was under the impression that JJ hit a grand slam for about two full minutes.

[brewcrewnation]

boy JJ misses a grand slam by less than a foot, almost hit the foul poll

[phatmatt1215]

A tad bit disappointing, considering all the runners we had, but i'll take it.

[phatmatt1215]

Come on, Suppan... You were given a 2 run lead, don't give them 6 back.

[trwi7]

He almost gave 4 back with Ross at the plate.
