2011-05-06 Brewers (Wolf) at Cardinals (Garcia) - [Brewers lose, 6-0]

[RockCoCougars]

My prediction.... Yuni breaks up the game with two outs in the 8th. He will be scorned here for doing so. Poor guy can't do anything right.

[dlk9s]

I either want a no hitter or perfect game or I want one of the Brewers to bunt for a hit. That would be hilarious.

Just imagine the perfecto/no-no being broken up with a bunt. That would be unbelievably amazing. Classy Nation would sue.

[Gobias Industries]

Svuem should tell Weeks to get ready in the box faster. He's still off balance by the time the pitcher comes home.

[jjgott]

Well McClendon is pitching really well. Small victories?

[Beast Light]

Why would Melvin go? How is any if this his fault? (And yuni as our SS us not a valid reason)

Because at some point, the buck has to stop at the GM and you have to stop firing managers.

 

Melvin was given a top of the line farm system when he came to Milwaukee and Attanasio has steadily increased his payroll. The results, however, just haven't been there. Now, after two years of failing to realize we didn't have any pitching, he went all in and so far, it isn't going very well.

We aren't a good hitting team. We have 2 good hitters.

 

When everyone shuts you down its time to start looking at your own team.

[Rhett16]

I have to imagine Attanasio has been watching games this week and wondering to himself how he can buy the Dodgers.

 

Also, Braun looked as if he had committed himself to swinging at the first 3 pitches he saw, no matter where they were, just to get this over with.

[Gobias Industries]

McClendon is a boss. I'm glad we had him stashed in AAA instead of Sean Green. It's not like we're a win now team or anything.

[Gobias Industries]

It's GOOD MOOD FOOD. Damn do I hate that ad campaign.

[pitchleague]

nice inning, McClendon.

 

Good lord, hitters. Come on.

 

Okay, here we go, let's get something. Anything.

[derflotr]

A team of streaky hitters will look something like this sometimes. But I can't remember a time when an entire team seemed so disinterested.

[Gobias Industries]

What's gonna be more annoying....the rousing ovation they give Garcia when he gets his perfect game broken up, or if he actually pitches a perfect game? I'd go with when it gets broken up.

 

SO CLASSY.

[monkeyman343434]

Why would Melvin go? How is any if this his fault? (And yuni as our SS us not a valid reason)

because he dealt away the entire farm to go for it this year/next year, but in doing so put together a mediocre team.

terrible D at 3B, terrible D at SS, terrible D at 1B, so-so D in RF (hart), below average D in LF, so-so D at 2B. that negates this good starting rotation he put together

a huge black hole on offense at CF,and SS. below average offense at C. only average O at 3B and RF (sorry, but neither Hart nor McGehee should be two of your 2/5/6 order hitters on a contending team, maybe one of those spots + 7th).

That is not the team you put together when you deal away the farm to put a team in "win now" mode. He also has no prospects to deal at the deadline to make a splash if the team needs something for a push, to go along with the terrible depth on the team.

 

 

Also, with the winning under 85 is a major disapointment, I disagree with this, there was a 50/50 chance this team would finish with 85 wins or less, so I don't see how under 85 would be a major disapointment if it was a coin flip finishing above or below this line. (I say this because Vegas had the over/under for Brewer wins this year at 85.5)

[JET15]

No-no no more

[jjkoestler]

YUNI! Thank you.

[pebadger]

Is it OK to love Yuni now?

[trwi7]

Close.

 

Side note: Yuni blows. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

[rluzinski]

No perfect game, no no hitter... unfortunately, what really matters has changed little. The Brewers are still most likely going to lose. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

IT WAS ONLY A SINGLE, THAT GOOD-FOR-NOTHING GUY!

[Mr QL]

After tonight we could be tied for worst team in the national league. What a disgrace.

[mastershake76]

I think the packers are going to have a hell of a team this year. HELL of a team.

[crewcrazy]

After tonight we could be tied for worst team in the national league. What a disgrace.

 

And only 5.5 GB with a chance to make it 3.5 by Monday.

[Beast Light]

I think the packers are going to have a hell of a team this year. HELL of a team.

Me too. I've got my fingers crossed in hopes that we actually get to see them play though.

 

[Blancofan1]

Can we just score 6 to tie it and go into extra innings just to see how many in a row McClendon can get through tonight?

He certainly has to be the bright spot tonight. Hopefully this solidifies his spot in the pen for the remainder of the year.

[Oldcity]

This might be the earliest in the year a Brewers' season has become hilarious. At this point, I was legitimately hoping he'd throw a perfect game.
