Clone Suppan/jeering/Enc

I went to Game 4, I'll be at Game 5 tomorrow night, I hope....

I looked thru the game threads and didn't see this mentioned (I would be shocked if it actually made it on TV):

Before the game there was a giant banner hung from the 2nd deck about even with 1st base that said CLONE SUPPAN. Next to it was another one with a bunch of small Cardinal logos....one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life, then I got nervous, thinking man I wish they'd shown that on a night when Soup wasn't actually pitching....after the top of the 3rd I was thinking they had jinxed him, but he was just good enough....

Also, in I think the 4th inning, with Wilson up, Bonderman met the trainer about halfway to the dugout. The mist had just started and Bonderman wanted something to scrape his cleats with....of course the fans didn't know what was happening so we started a chant of piiiiiiine tarrrrrrrrr.....piiiiiiine tarrrrrrrrrr....

Encarnacion sucked ass in that one AB. Any chance he can be traded in the offseason? It's not just that he strikes out, he does it so badly....Zumaya threw 4 straight balls to Molina, started off Miles 2-0, and went I think 2-0 on Gooch after Enc....Enc I think swung at three pitches and looked utterly helpless.
