Soup-Sandwich / Miller Park Experience

Jeff Suppan (Soup) had one of his worst outings since becoming a Brewer last night. At the very least, it could have been the worse of his career had Ned Yost not pulled him in the second inning. Soup quickly coughed up 6 runs, 7 hits and 2 walks. This brings him to 3-4 on the season. As a friendly reminder to Milwaukee fans....that personal record of his should read 5-4 had the team not given away his lead. He had a coupe of no decisions in Aril and May. Point is this, starting pitchers will have their days when pitches aren't hitting their marks and they lose their control. Soup will most likely bounce back next week with an 'A' game.

I was in attendance at the game and had a great time with my wife. I easily spent over $80.00 in beer, food, and other misc. stuff.
One thing I love about Miller Park is that the view beyond the center field of the stadium is the pristine skyline of Milwaukee's blue-collar roots. The 'skyline' consists of a working-class neighborhood that lies on a hill overlooking Menominee Valley (35th & National), Milwaukee's old industrial park in past decades. To the right, or southeast of that neighborhood, are towering silo's and factories that have provided the sound foundation for the citizens of this great city. A couple of times last night I caught myself dazing while the game was being played, partly to be blamed on a couple of Lite's and the Baltimore pounding on The Crew.
Additionally, Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin should be thankful that the second best park in all of the Majors is situated off of Miller Park Way. Ample amount of parking along with easy entrance/exit lots to the interstate provide a great visit to the park. Absolutely love this park! One thing they should change is the frequent use of their roof. Don't close it just because there's a drizzle.

-JJ Hardy (5) and Prince Fielder (14) both homered for the Brewers.

-Ned Yost made a controversial move in the bottom of the ninth when he had Bill Hall bat for Russell Branyan with two outs and bases loaded. On Milwaukee's Fox Radio post-game show (usually blanketed with hack calls), fans voiced outrage over this and called for Ned's head. Although I feel Ned should be canned, and should've been canned a month ago...he made the right call. Branyan is was 0-10 against lefties while Hall was hitting .360's against them. Let us not forget the heroics that Bill has provided us in the past.
