Regardless of this current downer of a game, Sat. is going to be fun. I wish I could be there.

 

If someone offered me free tickets and paid for my transportation and a hotel room, I still wouldn't go. No way.

As makeup calls go, that was kind of sad

[bbaehman]

We have to find a way to get it to 5-3

How about 12-5 instead?

Touche. That would be much better

If CC had been getting that call we'd still be winning.

I keep looking back to that Hart GIDP in the first which totally let Meyers off the hook. We do more damage in that inning, and I highly doubt that Philly has more than even two runs.

Why not?

sad....sad....sad

 

As exciting as last week was, and how cool Sunday was, I think this team is in a little over their heads. The offense is just sooooooo bad. I watch them, and I wonder how they ever won 90 games. Instead of getting fired, Yost should have been named manager of the year.

[Schlitz001]

Tony Gwynn just struck out against Myers, so I guess that would have been a more productive at bat than Hart's in the 1st had he started in place of Hart.

I am extraordinarily impressed that you are able to post with no head.

Brewerfan is getting snarky!

26 years....for this?

 

I'd just love to see some sort of offensive life from this team, but they appear to be the proverbial "playoff fodder" right now.

[owbc]

If I hear ANY boos for Hart, Weeks, or Hall on Saturday, I will be extremely disappointed in Brewers fans.

On the bright side, they do have a history of getting a pick-me-up by simply coming home.

 

Plus, we have Dave Bush pitching Saturday. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, considering the DP ended the inning, and a K would have at least given COunsell an AB with the bases loaded - yes. Now, its doubtful they woul dbe in teh same spots in the line up, its a moot point, and the argument is silly to begin with.

[Brewcrewin07]

The Cubs losing again would go a long way to taking away the sting from tonight.

May I ask why?

 

(Too bad if I can't, because I just did, I guess. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

 

I'm not sure I could muster up the energy to cheer any of the three right about now. Maybe that doesn't automatically translate to booing, but I sure wouldn't be cheering.

[naivin]

I think the Brewers performance agains the other teams in the playoffs this season tell the entire story. Clearly not in the same league with the Cubs or the Phillies in particular. Simply not ready for prime time.

[brewerjamie15]

Nice stab by Fielder.

 

LLLLets get some runs!

[moofnelson]

Myers better enjoy the cheers now, because his next bad start (probably next game) they'll be booing him out of town.

[giffted1]

Brewers, remember that plate discipline you had in the first inning (minus Corey)? Lets see that again.

[rm121978]

Just awful performances by nearly everyone but the bullpen this series. Batting just over .100 is completely unacceptable. If these first 2 games doesn't convince those who think Sveum should be kept that he should be fired, nothing will. Just keep trotting out the same guys who've done nothing the last month and hope things are going to change. And I won't even start on overworking Sabathia. They can say it was his idea, he was OK with it, etc... but you have to MANAGE your players. Ugh. What a disappointing season.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Jamie---

 

Your ability to continue posting after doing such damage to yourself is incredible.

 

You're tougher than a hockey player!

[naivin]

Brian Roberts is a FA right? Shouldn't we sign him to play 2B next year? Wouldn't that be a HUGE addition to the lineup next year?
