Brewers 8, Scrubs 2

By: Big Rygg

Ladies and gentlemen...Jeff Suppan!

What a performance by Soup. April was a good month to Soup in 2007 and he's starting off 2008 great as well. A quality start (only giving up two solo home runs) and handing the ball off to the bullpen (after our offense knocked in a few of our own runs) for a solid performance of their own...

Does it get much better than this?

We edged the Scrubs on Opening Day and we knocked them around a little bit in Game 2. We're 2-0 and on top of the division all by our lonesomes.

I'll take it.

Tomorrow, I honestly expected Dave Bush to be squaring off against Rich Hill. Apparently Lou Piniella thought it would be a good idea to separate the lefties in his rotation, so he decided to make Ryan "The Dumpster" Dempster his #3. Personally? I love this idea. I'd much rather be facing the Dumpster with a sweep on the line in Game 3 of the season and series.

Also, don't forget that we've got a game that counts at Miller Park on Friday against the woeful San Francisco Giants. Let's all hope that the Brewers don't take a cue from their NBA counterparts and play down to the level of their competition. The Giants are going to be terrible this year and they need to be swept out of Milwaukee like the whipping boys they are.

But for another night, our Milwaukee Brewers sit atop the NL Central.

Feels good, don't it?
