2009-07-20 Brewers (Burns) at Pittsburgh (Ohlendorf) : 6:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 8-5]

[brewmann04]

If melvin can move Hardy for a quality starter he should do it.

[thablingster]

I still think of Ned Yost every time I see someone wearing #3. I don't think Lopez will change that.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I really wish Bush didn't have a setback.

[Mr QL]

Yea... This Mike Burns thing isn't working out. Ultimate scrub.

[GB12]

I didn't know Ned Yost could play second base.

[brewers19]

Shrewd move. Walking the batter to set up the triple play.

[wibadgers23]

Well Mike. We had some good times. We had some bad times. But now it's time to move on.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Well I guess we know we've hit rock bottom when we get blown out by the Pirates.

[Mr QL]

Maybe Dillard should get a shot.

 

This one is going to really sting with the streak ending.

[pebadger]

At what point is acceptable to just let him burn some innings and save teh pen for two winnable games yet in the series?

[razzzorsharp]

Actually, you would think rock bottom could come next week vs. the Nats.

[bobskube]

These balls aren't seeing eye dogs. They are rockets. Burns is throwing meatballs like I have not seen in a long time.

[bobskube]

I still think the Brewers will score 7 runs. However, I also think they will allow 11.

[SeriesFinale]

This one is going to really sting with the streak ending.

Eh, the streak ending doesn't bother me, it was going to end sooner or later. I'm just upset by not having a fighting chance.

 

I'm not one of those people to do a huffy "I never want to see so-and-so play for the Brewers again," after a bad performance, but Mike Burns is sorely testing that. This guy would've been a frustrating addition to the 2003 Brewers, much less a Brewers team that's supposedly a playoff contender.

[sheethead]

I won't say it, but I know i'm not the only one thinking it. Mike Burns, it's been fun. Thank you for the game against the Dodgers, but I'd rather your Brewer days be over now.

[bretsky07]

I think it's time to start the Chris Cody era.

[SeriesFinale]

Well, Lopez has done his part with the bat so far...let's chip away a bit here

[brewers19]

Baseball Tonight just showed the clip of Burns getting nicked by the line drive and said, "Good news is that the pitcher stayed in the game." Indeed.

[wibadgers23]

Well on the bright side, Lopez has two hits already. And I agree bretsky, it's time to see what Cody can do.

[razzzorsharp]

Games not over yet, get a couple runs here or there and get some good pitching and who knows what might happen.

[brewmann04]

burns is a career Journeyman so i guess we should have expected this, What dejecting is we have no legit Prospect to take Bush Spot.

[jeffy]

Yeah, it's only the third inning...it could turn into something like the 14-12 game in Cleveland.

[brewmann04]

Watching Braun the last few weeks have been very Frustrating and you can see Prince trying to do it all by himself.

[Invader3K]

Well, he did have a base hit in the first inning so hopefully he's starting to turn it around. I think he's just pressing a bit right now. One big hit might calm him down.

[Hate those Rodents]

Probably should have given CV a bit more of a chance at being a starter. I thought he was our best option ever since the start of last season, even amidst his struggles last year and this year. I know nobody will agree with me here though, and that's okay too.
