Is the letter G bad luck for the brewers?

[truecrew]

Today being another off day for the team I was sitting around thinking and a thought came to my mind is the letter G unlucky? Looking at our team with Gagne, Guillermo Mota, having such bad seasons and then a possible season ending injuy to Gallardo and last season with Graffy... do we just have bad luck with players who's first or last name start with G? Geoff Jenkins was not all that great for us and Greg Vaughn was awful so it got me wondering.

Well, I'd have to say that guys like Gantner and Gormon Thomas were pretty solid. Gary Sheffield, though, not so good for the team!

 

Is it possible that Rickie Weeks is spelled with a silent "G"?

Geoff Jenkins was not all that great for us . . .

How quickly they forget:

 

2nd all-time in franchise HR; 4th in RBI; 2nd in SLG; 4th in total bases; 4th in doubles; and a very good defender.

Geremi Gonzalez didn't work out for the club, and the G it didn't work out for him either.

Too Soon?

[IIAY]

Not as unlucky as the letter "B" has been for the Cubs:

 

Bartman

Billy goat

Baker (and his excellent handling of Wood and Prior)

Ah yes, it is now that you mention it Grickie Gweeks.

[olliegjw]

Gabe Kapler has done better than expected.

OH! NO!

HAH! Even I can laugh at that one

 

Now that you mention it, Brock for Broglio didn't work out so great either.

 

But I like Bob Brenly.

Greg Vaughn was a solid enough power hitter for a short time, too. He wasn't a great player, by any means, but I wouldn't call his Brewers career "awful."

Very well played sir.

Gulio Machado...er...Julio...

[mothershipconnection]

Graeme Llloyd and Geoff Kellogg. Booyah.

Don't forget the sensational Gary Glover. Double G's means double the agony

[Postseason2006]

Greg Brock. Glen Braggs.
