5/18/08 Brewers (Villanueva) at Red Sox (Beckett): 12:35 PM CDT

[TheBucketheadBrigader]

Ortiz is single handedly winning my fantasy matchup this weekend at the expense of the Brewers pitching.

[jhart05]

I'd sit his a$$ on the bench right now.

There's no need to try to circumvent the cuss filter for a word we allow. If you had done this for a word we don't allow, you would have been notified via PM by a moderator.

 

 

Oh. Just a habit I guess. Didn't even think about it.

 

[truecrew]

Come Wed. we should have a new manager after we lose Tues 8-3 and Parra goes 5 IP 6 R 9 H 6 BB 2 K.

[jhart05]

A new manager is not going to turn this thing around.

 

On the FOX pregame show yesterday they were talking about the Mets. If they should change Managers and/or GM's.

 

The answer was basically "no". There is enough talent on the team, the players have to look in the mirror and turn it around themselves.

 

I agree with that for the Brewers situation as well. That's all I'll say about it, don't want to turn this into a debate. Plenty of other threads already.

 

 

By the way...GOAL! for Pittsburgh, Pens 1 Flyers 0.

So does this team have another comeback in them? The kind where they keep me interested enough to keep track of the game through all nine innings.

[brewmann04]

Sorry to complain but Prince dropping that easy throw just shows a complete lack of Focus.

I don't know what his problem is whether it his new life style or the way the his contract was handled.

[dlk9s]

I think there's a second plate past the outside corner when righties are up.

[dlk9s]

It's really amazing how Braun played hard to get his big payday and then just stopped performing.

[Paulus88]

8 homers in seven days... single handedly keeping me interested right now

[jhart05]

Braunie!!

 

Hey, at least they have one player who isn't quitting.

 

I think MA spent his money wisely on that guy. What'da'ya think?

 

 

Update: Prince, that kind of makes up for your error.

[dlk9s]

Well, you can't say they're not trying.

[jjfanec]

This team has shown a lot of heart in this series. The bats I mean. I am glad to see Prince get a homer, he has crushed some balls this series

[brewmann04]

6 runs off Josh Beckett and they are still down unreal,we get the hitting and no pitching .

[hawing]

In some cases, adequate hitting and pitching, but then no defense.

 

I wonder if there have ever been three contestants in the home run inning before? There are already two winners today.

[rluzinski]

Prince has always been a bad defender, so let's not pretend it has anything to do with anything else.

 

Wow, the Brewers bats are good again. Too bad the defense is as bad as ever. At least, with all these errors this weekend, I'll never have to hear the laughable claim that the Brewers have the best defense in the league because they had the least amount of errors. Yehhhhhhh.

I disagree. Yost cannot fire this team up. His quotes after yesterday's game about our team errors summed it up enough for me. We have a young team who needs a good leader. (sorry I know there is a thread for this).

I also see why Defelice is a career Minor Leaguer

[And That]

You just posted that.

 

You just posted that.

[dlk9s]

Well, DiFelice wasn't good, but at least he made them hit the ball, rather than walking guys. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

(sorry I know there is a thread for this)

 

Yeah, just to preserve our remaining shred of forum sanity, let's all please take Ned comments to the Ned Thread or the Vent Thread. Thanks.

[rluzinski]

Ahh yes. It's YOST's fault that Melvin has put little emphasis on defense, resulting in an infield that can't field a lick.

 

This isn't little league baseball, where the manager needs to give little Joey a pep talk because he's afraid of the ball and started crying om the field. Yost is there to manage the team, not give the players endless pep talks.

[TeeJayh1980]

come on Shouse, suck it up cupcake

[dlk9s]

So...Fielder is going to be involved in getting two pitchers hurt?

[trwi7]

Fielder is the worst defender I have ever seen.

[dlk9s]

Fielder is the worst defender I have ever seen.

...and Hall is regressing before our eyes.
