Miller hits well against Wandy, he may get the start.

Suppan's been screwed over in his last two starts. The 13 inning game against the Mets, the 11 inning game against Philly, both very good starts for him. The Brewers got the extra inning game out of their system in this series, let's hope Suppan keeps it up.

Oh, I know how good Suppan has been his past few starts. I am just not setting my expectations that high.

its good to see them pulling out a game like last night's, i'd like to say that could transfer over, but that'd be a laugh with this squad. however it is very positive to see rickie walking 4 times, corey comin through in the clutch, as well as jj going deep. so i am willing to say that their turning a corner offensively, if only for a few of em. go get em.

Cy Wandy is on the mound. Should be a win.

He is a pretty decent pitcher...I'd take him over capuano or vargas any day.
Should be a good game tonight. Hopefully the brew can put some runs up early.

Let's keep this thread on the Brewer game. There is a game thread for the Packer game on the Packer board and the Bears game on the Bears board.

I just noticed the Game is televised on WMLW.
That means no HD :nonono:

Edit: And it is on 1250 WSSP and not 620. I guess that is due to the packer game. Anyone know if Uecker is still calling the game for 1250?
