The Soup's On

I must admit that I was skeptical of the Crew's chances this evening after Rich Hill started perfect the first three frames. I mean he's got a 0.47 ERA and the Cubs spent about 900 million this year on bats right? Screw that. The wind only seems to be blowing in for those lovable losers right now. I guess they're just hitting the ball too high.

Speaking of the wind blowing in, how great is it to see the Brewers flag atop that lame ass schooner mast out on the bleachers in Wrigley?

The real reason for this post is to comment on a few sights from this evening's game that I found thoroughly amusing. First was the shot of Carlos Villanueva holding a freshly cracked hand warmer up to his ear like it was supposed to sound warm or something. The Brewers pen looked like they were about to begin the Iditarod all bundled up in Parkas. I don't think Carlos has ever seen snow. He looks like a tool but he gets a pass because he saved our ass last night and is my hero.

Miller just scored. 4-0 Brewers. We are awesome.

Second is how Kevin Mench looks like a cartoon character when he runs. I mean he's pretty short and his legs move real fast. It's like the roadrunner. And how about the old "Oh shit I can't see the ball in the lights" trick that didn't fool Derek Lee for a second, at second. That's still pretty funny. Suddenly we have lots of good outfielders. El Caballo who?

Felix Pie just caught the ball. That's not a french last name, its a dessert.

Third is how Lou Piniella looks like he wants put away about a fifth of burbon and forget he took this job. I mean he could have managed a shitty team in Tampa right? At least it would be warmer. This guy has already gone off on one reporter for asking why the Cubs sucked that night and refused to address the press after the 12 inning masterpiece the brewers snapped off last night. This is going to be fun to watch.

Suppan just got pinch hit for. 8 innings of shutout ball. The Soup's On.


Go Crew,
