Suppan & Braun Deliver

The Crew inched a little closer to .500 with a 5-3 win over the NL's Central Division leading Cardinals. Suppan pitched lights out today over his old teammates. Giving up only 6 hits and 1 run, the veteran righty brought his ERA down to where it he usually is...in the 4's (4.63). That being said, he really delivered for the Crew by working the pitch counts and even pitching through the 7th inning. The latter of course being a little hard to believe considering he's a 5-6 inning type of starter. He did surpass his season high in walks however giving out 5 free passes.
Braun put the hurt on Looper by going yard twice and raising his average to .281 on the season. It appears he and Fielder have begun their resurgence as they have had a decent series against the Cards.
-Season series is at 4-4 w/ the Cards.

The closing role was given up by Gagne forcing Yost to call on others to fill in. This being the frosting on the cake for Yost to be fired. Had Gagne not voluntarily hand in his closing keys, he would've been right back out there today. Thankfully, he made the decision for Yost by allowing others to close. This brought up the plan of having a "committee" approach by having match-up closers. Yost called on Torres to have first crack at it. This resulting in a homerun that was first caught by Cory Hart over the fence, and then flopping out of his glove due to the backlash in his wrist. Valid try.
So, Yost went with Brian Shouse who then put the nails in the coffin. This only after giving up another run. So there you have it folks, in the words of Brian Anderson. The Brewers came up big in offense and defense giving up no errors and solid pitching.

-Billy Hall broke his Mothers Day homerun streak of 2. Not a shocker there. He did run the bases pretty nice scoring on a speedy run to home and being tripped up by the catcher.
-All that pink made me think I was at the roller rink back in grade school. Hell, the players had pink rope necklaces, pick undershirts (some did) and even pink gum to bring awareness to Breast Cancer. Fathers Day will of course yield sky blue to do the same for Prostate Cancer.
-Yost should be canned.
