Nice to see Macha finally got a clue and gave Braun a day off.

[razzzorsharp]

Go local sports team!

[hawing]

For once, I'm not sure I'm disappointed that meetings and training will prevent me from monitoring this game live.

Stop the madness! For all that is good and holy!

I wonder what the headline in the JS will be if Parra gives up 4 runs over 6 IP...

DFA Parra. Narveson takes over ace role.

Parra stops the bleeding. Brewers win 5-4.

 

Please?

Part of me almost wants another loss to ensure the front office gets the message that this team just isn't very good right now.

That's exactly what I want. I want this team buried in the standings so Mark and Doug can't rationalize some sort of win now move as making sense.

 

Of course that doesn't mean I don't want certain players to play well, just at the end of the day I want the Brewers to lose until some selling happens.

I kind of feel the same way. I never want the Brewers to lose, but the front office needs some kind of sign that this team is out of it and they need to re-tool and get ready for 2011.

 

 

[trwi7]

Ha. Second batter of the game sacrifice bunts. Nice one, Bochy.

[trwi7]

What the hell ump?

I think far to many people around here lately are putting to much stock into Melvin saying weeks ago, that he wasn't ready to say the Brewers were sellers. They had a nice push afterwards, but are now 11 games under .500, worse than they were at the time. I'd be shocked if internally they don't know the landscape of things, but everyone keeps acting like Melvin is out there everyday saying we're not going to be sellers.

[crewcrazy]

If you told me in April that Corey Hart would be batting cleanup by July 8th, I would've told you the Brewers were at least 11.5 games out of first place and 11 games under.

[adambr2]

I'll take anything from Hart right now that continues to add to or maintain his trade value.

[pete]

I'll bet that scout meeting in St. Louis was to plan evaluations with probable or possible trade partners. What they really need is a public relations message to sell "the young team of the future" or something like that.

[adambr2]

Melvin, Ash, and Macha had a meeting and Macha came out of it refreshed. Sounds like it was a totally non-productive one to me.

[adambr2]

That 3rd ball to Inglett was a foot outside and in the dirt. Yes, it did miss by much, Rock.

[pete]

1/29 RISP

[trwi7]

Yep, this team sucks.

[adambr2]

Watching us strand bases loaded with nobody out used to frustrate me. Now, it just reinforces to me what the real state of this team is.

[pebadger]

Now I know what it would have felt like if I was at home watching the game on Monday.

[adambr2]

Yep, this team sucks.

 

I'm not even really mad about it now. I think the worst thing that could happen to this team right now is a 4 game winning streak heading into the AS break. The best thing that could happen today is Parra loses a 1-0 pitchers duel and Hart gets on base every AB.

Watching this team is seriously like watching the first part of "Major League".
