2009-08-11 Padres (Richard) at Milwaukee (Looper) : 7:05 PM CT [Brewers lose, 13-6]

[pebadger]

Mr. Anderson, that is the sound of inevitability.

[phxMILWfan]

Hey alright! That home run will justify starting a .200 hitter out of position for another month atleast!

[pebadger]

You know the fan base is at an emotional ebb when the Doorman barely bats an eye at a homer like that.

I went back and forth with whether or not to post that. Lima time...

[trwi7]

Where was Braun going on that Gwynn popup? Covering a mythical base by shortstop?

[brucrustu]

I'm just sayin Jose has gave up more than any brewers pitcher this year.

I hope.

[The Ignitor]

I know I'm in the minority, but I wish TGJ was still on our team. A left handed bat who can play CF... We've got enough power on this team to get away with a few slap hitters.

[Mr QL]

I've been in DC for about the last week, I see not much has change since I've been gone.

 

Getting beat down by the Padres, geez...

[pebadger]

Maybe the Brewers should petition the league to institute the 10-run rule in their games not pitched by Gallardo.

[trwi7]

The Padres have set a season high with 18 hits. Their previous high was 17, also against the Brewers.

[brewmann04]

i agree wish the Crew would have held onto TGJ a bit longer but you know he didn't do well in his call ups and is not paid like the Great Billy Hall.

[Teatoe993]

Concession sales must be up. This has gotta be the longest "Last Call" ever.

[trwi7]

Maybe the Brewers should petition the league to institute the 10-run rule in their games not pitched by Gallardo.

We'd still only be .500.

if tou're into small samples.

Bill Hall has a home run tonight

[brewmann04]

11 runs to one of the worst hitting teams in the League twice that is a disgrace, but at least stl is losing tonight

You know, to be positive, we are very good lately at helping teams set marks for themselves. Nationals, Dodgers, Padres.

Seriously, like professionals.

[pebadger]

I have the feeling that STL could play .400 ball the rest of the year and it still wouldn't make any real difference to the position of the Brewers in the standings.

[dlk9s]

Just need a bloop, bloop, bloop, blast, bloop, bloop, bloop, blast, and a blast.

[pebadger]

That's still more likely than holding the Pads to 13.

[brucrustu]

7th inning:

 

The embarrassment continues for the Brewers. Pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn bloops a double down the left-field line, eluding Hard

 

Oh, the humanity

That about sums it up

 

I still love casey mcgehee, and will be there for casey at the bat night. best $298 Me and gf could spend

[Mase]

Pathetic. Just pathetic. I understand why we are not unloading players to give the perception we are still in the race and sell tickets. But who are they fooling?

[ClubLevel]

On the bright side, tickets are going to be cheap and plentiful the rest of the year for those of us who *gasp* actually go to games when the team isn't playing well, unlike the new "fans" the team has gotten since '07.

[pretendastronaut]

I like that you continue to post that as a positive. Who needs the money those ""fans"" bring into the organization and the city? Pfffttt.

The nerve that there are people out there with chief interests in other areas of life, but that still enjoy good baseball enough to attend games and spend money on it, yet dislike rotten baseball enough to spend their time and money elsewhere. The nerve of those people.....

I really can't fault anyone for losing interest in this team, frankly I'm astonished that the stadium is still filling up as much as it is with how pathetic we've been in July/August.

 

Tons of public money for a stadium, promises that we'd be competitive, years and years of terrible finishes that yielded top draft picks, a higher payroll with lots of cheap talent for DM to work with ..... and it looks like we've peaked with an 83-79 season followed by a 90-win season that was entirely due to riding a rented mule that pitched out of his mind for two months. Ouch.
