08/06/2006 Brewers (Capuano) @ Cardinals (Suppan) 1:15 CT

[sweepscc]

Boring team to watch. Kevin Mench blows.

[crewcrazy]

What a waste. What channel is the car race on?

 

For once I would agree watching cars drive in circles is more exciting than baseball. This game stinks.

[wizzler2]

no it doesn't pay to talk about his 5.07 era. if he had 19.43 era in 24 starts this year, it still wouldn't matter. its going to be a complete game shut out. pitcher with sinker stuff vs brewers = brewers lose. it is a fact of life. jeff cirillo should be starting this game and batting 3rd. fielder 4th and mench in AAA.

They did mention and show Suppan's ERA when he took the mound in the first inning.

That's great.

 

All I've heard for the four innings I've been watching is about how great his control is and how dominant he's been against the Brewers.

 

It's awesome, really. They just touched up Cappy while we can't even get anyone on base against one of the worst regular starting pitchers in all of Major League Baseball.

 

Pretty sad. Even sadder when people paid to broadcast a baseball game fail to see a problem, and continue to act like Suppan is about to cement his candidacy for the Hall of Fame.

Why, so Fielder's worm-burners can make two outs instead of one?

[wizzler2]

MENCH GOT A BASE HIT! his approach and swing still looked like crap.

[wizzler2]

it would have worked the same with our current clean up hitter Kevin Bench...i mean mench.

[brewmann04]

Question what do you want to see happen when your on a long Losing streak.

 

The BREWERS Comming To Town.

 

Another series loss

[adambr2]

Another series loss.

 

We haven't won a series against a team other than the Reds since June.

 

Can we please cut the playoff talk?

 

Fire Wynegar. Start Hart, start Gwynn. I don't care. Do SOMETHING. It's not like we're going to get any worse.

Ned will go before this happens.

[1992casey]

I think Wynegar was initially a Melvin choice.

Ned will show his loyalty by falling on the sword before anything bad can happen to Butch*.

 

(* - I hope.)

[adambr2]

Well, if Turnbow is going to get shelled, at least he's doing it when it doesn't matter anymore.

[sweepscc]

Turnbow the Rock Star. He gets rocked we see stars.

[adambr2]

Speaking of which, as someone brought up awhile back, we have to be the most predictable team in baseball in every series. We win a close one, lose a close one, and get blown out in one. I may as well just stop checking out the games and just try to guess which one of the 3 we are going to win.

[valpocrewsader]

Pathetic.

Or just stop watching the games and read about the result in the paper.

 

(I just wish I could do this.)

[brewmann04]

who do you think melvin put on waiver and will he make a deal

[craigharmann]

Another game the team could have won, but threw down the toilet. Quite disappointing. I am completely at a loss for words.

[augie46]

Take note Mark Attanasio, the natives are restless.

[craigharmann]

I don't know if I'd say that I'm restless, but more of frustrated with lack of execution. Last night, the pen came in and really shut down the Cards...plenty of chances to execute and score a run or two to take the lead...today, early in the game, Cappy was pitching a great game, and there were a few opportunities, but again, a lack of execution came through once again. This has happened over and over, not just this year, but as long as I started regularly going to Brewer games as a kid (about 1985 or so). We've been through new managers, new hitting coaches, new pitching coaches, so on, and so forth, and nothing has changed. Sure, you can use the injury excuse, but you have to be able to play baseball pretty well to make it to the major leagues. Earn your money, and do what you're supposed to do. WIN GAMES!

[brewmann04]

Changes need to be made and our Owner will realize this

[TeeJayh1980]

nice to see Corey Hart sit the bench again...nice.

[wizzler2]

Basically i am happy to see other people as feed up with yost as i am. i would not mind seeing yount the manager in a couple weeks or days.

[pitchleague]

I'm glad they're off tomorrow. That will be two consecutive nights of good sleep that I'll get, since I'm over this afternoon's debacle and won't have to worry about another one tomorrow.
