9/9/08 Reds (Ramirez) at Brewers (Suppan): 7:05 PM CDT

[crewcrazy]

Blech. At least they've been consistently bad at home against the Reds all year.

 

No ground lost, though. Hopefully CC can salvage a win tomorrow.

Did I miss the 25th anniversary celebration of the 1983 collapse?

How do the Brewers still have a 3 game lead in the wildcard? I'll take it!

You're right, I suppose during these harrowing times we should take solace in the fact that just about everyone else but the Astros are sucking roughly as hard as we are right now.

[brwrsfan]

Yet another tough loss, and the season continues to slip away. The home plate umpire certainly didn't help the cause but we had several chances to win the game anyway, and of course failed.

 

Of course, it doesn't help to get Yosted, again. I just can't believe he put Counsell and Kendall up there in the last inning, AGAIN!!!

[datrain711]

does anyone ask Ned about his pinch hitting choices in the post game?

 

I'm starting to think this team might not make it

silver lining!!!!

I'll take it, too.

 

I don;t know how long they're gonna keep getting it, though.

 

This was a huge opportunity missed, in a homestand that was one gigantic opportunity missed.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I blame Ray Durham for wearing out our bullpen.

[bucksman4]

It's a 3 game lead by default. Talk to me after the Phillies series and we'll see if that's still the case. If we can't win series vs. the Padres and Reds how will we fare against playoff contenders??

[datrain711]

some real choke artistry going on right now. can't anybody get a hit?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

FSN can't even get the ticker right on the bottom of the screen

I have made it 19 years without drinking. Well, I think the Brewers have pushed me over the edge.

I hope for your sake, EL C., that your post was meant to be in blue. Don't waste your sobriety on this pile of crap.

It was but im just trying to Vent... LETS VENT!! (ok sorry about that)

[Fear The Chorizo]

And the meltdown continues.

 

Their playoff magic number managed to decrease with the Phils' loss, but a Cards and Astros win pushes them a bit closer. With 10 games remaining against the Phils and Cubs to finish out the month and games against poor teams dwindling, I really am starting to question their ability to do anything in the playoffs, if they even get in at this point.

 

With how mightily the Cubs have struggled, it's incredibly disappointing to see the Brewers waste a golden opportunity to catch them during this recent stretch of playing supposedly poor teams. With what happened during the last Cub series, I was hoping the final 6 games played between the two teams would have little bearing on the wild card race - with how things are shaping up, that's not going to be the case.

 

Regardless of how this season concludes, I think Ned Yost absolutely has to be let go this offseason - have the Brewers ever finished one season strong with his bumbling arse at the helm?

[thablingster]

This entire homestand seems like the karmic balance for all those one run games earlier this season that we had no business winning but that we did.

[Brian the Automator]

To add insult to injury, I had a dream that the Brewers lost a game. They just got swept in a conscious/subconscious doubleheader.

[BrewerTerp]

That's weird Brian. I had a dream they won last night's game. So convincing that I woke up and checked the standings, and finally came to my senses.

[brewmann04]

Time to stop blaming the Umps and to a certain extent YOST.

The Players on the field are the ones to blame well everyone but CC and Sheets as of late. They have blew leads failed to excute

failed to field and poor base running are the culprits why this team is fading. No excuses that the team first time in a playoff race or they are to young. They Just are a poor playing team right now.

Haha, this was good.

 

I always thought the guy in the commercial reminded me of Billy Hall. The source of much vent-ing.
