Suppan has started 11 games against the Reds, allowing  seven home runs with a 6.05 ERA.  We split with the Brewers in four Suppan starts last season.

I'm looking forward to the second installment of the Johnny Quest adventures. 

NEW TUESDAY NIGHT GAME THREAD FEATURE: Tuesday Night Music Club
We're going to try something new in tonight's thread.  We're always looking for new ways to help the group show off their total nerd arsenal, and tonight we'll try to feature some music nerds.  Sort of.

The plan right now is that every Tuesday night game thread will have a featured "Tuesday Night Music Club" theme.  It will then be your goal, if you choose, to find the best use of that theme for our entertainment.  It could be by posting the perfect lyric at the perfect point in support of the conversation or action going on in the game.  It could be that you find a crazy gif that goes with the theme and is a perfect response to a Geki rant.  Or maybe you link us to a mind-blowing YouTube that causes us to rethink everything we've ever thought about anything.  How you use the theme is totally up to you.

And I know, like Ray Kinsella you've played all of our games and never asked what's in it for you, but now you want to know what's in it for you?  Well, in an attempt to encourage the usage of comment recommending, we'd like you the reader to vote for those comments that really knock your socks off.  At the end of the month, the commenter with the most rec'd comment from a Music Themed game thread gets to pick our BBRef ad tagline for the following month.  It's a prize that keeps on giving the whole month long.

So we'll give it a try tonight and see how it goes.  It could be fun or it could be a flop.  And if it fails, we'll likely go to Plan B: Topless Webcam Night.  Just have fun with it and remember to rec your neighbor before he wrecks himself.

Tonight's Theme:

The Beatles
Beatles-rr_medium

We're starting easy to get your feet wet.  Tonight's theme also includes all solo projects by the members of The Beatles and their offspring.  So, feel free to break out the Wings comments, or John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band, or Julian Lennon, or The Travelling Wilburys.  You get the idea.  Now let's head down that long and winding road to victory!

Should be a fun night.

Don't know what it is with Cueto and bad weather. Here comes the rain again tonight. But I've Got a Feeling he can Carry That Weight, unlike Bronson Yesterday, where seemingly every pitch it was Hello, Goodbye.

Geki, I'd rec you but I'm afraid of what you'd come up with BR.com if you won the contest.

"Red Reporter: Don't post anything stupid. In fact, don't post anything at all because it'll probably be stupid. Because you are stupid."

by Fat Vegas Alan on Apr 8, 2008 8:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I can't really refute that

But it needs to be said that Geki has gone from being an almost exclusively nay-saying misanthrope to being... less so. He's downright positive under certain circumstances. I no longer cringe at the acidity of his posts.

I don't know if my point is really coming across, but I just wanted to publicly commend Geki.

Seriously.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 8, 2008 8:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm excited about watching Cueto pitch tonight in fabulous high definition

And in the end, the runs they make will be greater than the runs the Brewers take.

Unnamed journalist

Hal McCoy on some unknown beatwriter:

That means some extra packing for writers, although I have known a couple of writers in the past who took two week trips carrying a duffel bag - and half the space was occupied by a laptop. The rest of the duffel: One pair of jeans with regulation holes in the knees, one extra shirt (in case he got spaghetti sauce on the other one), one extra pair of socks and one extra pair of underwear (seriously). No extra shoes, though, because his dirty sneakers with holes in the toes were just fine, thank you. The guy sat by himself a lot.

Excellent lead-in on the Brewers' broadcast

Jimmy Buffett - "Fins"

This being music night, bonus points are available for the first person to correctly answer why this song makes sense for tonight's game.

She came down from Cincinnati

it took her Three days on a train
lookin' for some peace and quiet
hoped to see the sun again
but now she lives down by the ocean
she's takin' care to look for sharks
they hang out in the local bars
and they feed right after dark

true story, fins is my second least favorite buffett song

Braves top prospect suspended 50 games.

DENVER -- Jordan Schafer spent the month of March showing why many consider him to be one of the game's top young stars. Now, the 21-year-old Braves Minor Leaguer finds himself staring at the embarrassment of a substance-abuse suspension.

Major League Baseball announced late Tuesday afternoon that Schafer has been suspended 50 games for using human growth hormone, a performance-enhancing substance that is in direct violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

We Are ... Marshall!

by Thundering Turtle on Apr 8, 2008 7:58 PM EDT   0 recs

That's pretty big.

Shafer's a damn good prospect, and there was a good shot he was gonna see time with the Braves this year. I'd be surprised if that happens now.
