Philadelphia Phillies at Milwaukee Brewers, Sep 24, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
The Phillies conclude the away portion of their 2009 regular season schedule with a four game series in Milwaukee, the site of their first postseason triumph last season.
J.A. Happ goes for the Phillies, against Jeff Suppan for the Brewers. The goal is to keep Prince Fielder from untucking his shirt.
Discuss the game below. Pray for lots of early runs and tremendous starting pitching.

It would be fantastic if we could get the Milwaukee Massacre going here, where the margin for runs over the four game set would like +40.

Um, single. Surprised that he didn’t get two, but I guess that was how the Brewers defended it.

Another 2 out RBI for the Big Man…is that 131?

131 and ties him with the fatso with an anger management problem in the opposing dugout for the lead

Don’t understand giving him the 3-0 green light. Because a) you know he is going to swing no matter what and b) you know he is going to be swinging for the fences as opposed to trying to make solid contact.

if you don’t give him the 3-0, he’s going to swing anyway most likely.

RISP fails and late blown leads are two of the three most frustrating things a team can present its fans with. (I’d say that #3 is pitchers who just can’t throw strikes.) This team has given us a ton of both this year, along with the 88 wins.

Clay isn’t exactly helping his postseason roster candidacy right now.

His career statistics are kind of remarkable. Almost by definition, he is just slightly above what the “replacement player” is in the VORP statistic. But the steadiness of his performance is amazing.

We even sweat out a 7 run lead
Not cool bullpen. Totally not cool.

I still remember some sports site running a story...
“What if Brett Favre were a woman? Would you dump her by now?”
I think Green Bay’s defense would hit it.
Sorry, shamelessly stolen from a Fark headline. =p

Time to cast my vote for closer candidacy: Eric Bruntlett.
He’s mediocre at every position on the field, he’d be mediocre at closing, which is better than what we currently have…

He also already hits like a pitcher, which would help your cause.

At the very least, we should at least put his picture up on the jumbotron, just to make all bats within a quarter-mile radius whimper.

Guess I missed all the excitement again. Oh, well, a lot better than last night. Congrats to all the winners.
