5/2/08 Brewers (Villanueva) at Astros (Oswalt): 7:05 PM CDT

[SeriesFinale]

Well, this is the icing on my Brewers' Day

 

I really hate that joke of a stadium (unless, of course, it's our guys hitting goofballs out of that bandbox)

[HurricaneBraun]

unbelievable

[giffted1]

At this rate that damn train is going to derail eventually.

The good news is that Oswalt is probably done and the Brewers have 9 outs to do something with.

[Blancofan1]

Hey, SeriesFinale about that going back to work, um isn't there something that you could go back and catch up on or something?

[TooLiveBrew]

Alright, this park is a disgrace to the HR. Pop one 325 feet to LF? Oh yea, that's a HR.

 

Blast one 400+ to LC-RC? Nope, sorry, gotta hit it 425+.

 

I hate this park.

[MillerParkSouth]

seriously?????? our bullpen is going to be toast by june if they have to cover 4-5 innings every game.

[SeriesFinale]

Series-

 

Go back to work

I just put my tie back on and am headed back to the station...for a couple bourbons

 

[Bruce Ciskie]

On the bright side, we learned that Ned wouldn't tolerate a pitcher giving up four straight home runs. That's refreshing information.

[iluvlamp]

This is going to be a tough year. We're used to it though. Yay!

[pebadger]

Gee, it's not like we haven't seen the same general pattern in way too many CV starts. I don't know why someone wasn't ready to come in immediately.

 

Just furious right now.

[wisconsinfan47]

I hate Yost. I don't care what he had to do with this. I don't care. Get him out of Milwaukee. I'm sick of seeing his face in the dugout.

 

Sorry for the rant...just had to get that off my chest.

[Raw Biz]

This may just be venting but it's starting to look more and more like Villy is not suited to being a starter. He is probably best suited to the bullpen where he can dominate for a couple of innings. Hitters seem to hit him harder (compared to other pitchers) the 2nd and 3rd (if he ever gets that far) through the order. Although with the Yo injury, I guess we don't really have a choice.

[packfan79]

You would think that after dealing with basically the same pitching staff for the last two years Ned would no by now when it was time to pull the plug... Apparently not.

[bbaehman]

weren't we up 4-0

[ByTor74]

How long before Jeff Weaver makes his Milwaukee Brewers debut?

[Bruce Ciskie]

Gee, it's not like we haven't seen the same general pattern in way too many CV starts. I don't know why someone wasn't ready to come in immediately.

 

Just furious right now.

 

This would require Ned Yost to note such a pattern.

 

You have a better chance of getting Simon Cowell to button his shirt.

[Ennder]

Typical growing pains of a young pitcher, especially one who is probably a #4/#5 type because of the BBs and FB%.

[moofnelson]

Speaking of home runs, last week was Prince's turn to hit home runs. This week it's Braun's. I wonder whose turn it will be next week?

[iluvlamp]

Yost just wants them to finish the inning (even though he was being brutalized). Then send him out for more. Ned likes that.

[cruiserx43]

I am starting to think that Villy is just Vargas but works faster.

[Raw Biz]

Maybe we should just fill our bullpen with long relievers and guys like Villy (that can go once or twice through the order without getting murdered) and only use a 3 man rotation. Then the other two times just send out 3 of these long relievers in a row to get to 6/7 innings and then use normal bullpen guys.

[bbaehman]

this is great

[bucksbeat]

Anyone notice that when the Brewers Live banner comes across it has the sound of opening doors from the old game, Doom?
