[TURBO]

Ishi, Ishi, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

If they can get blanked by a guy they usually own, why not own a guy who usually blanks them?

[jjgott]

Just noticed Ishikawa had a batting glove in his back pocket while wearing two batting gloves. Fashion statement?

[rluzinski]

Ishi, Ishi, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!

Would you rather have Gomez in there?

[pebadger]

Finish up a deal tonight, Doug.

[rluzinski]

The result of the game is meaningless in terms of whether the Brewers make the playoffs but man. The game is pretty close to over and it's the first inning.

[pacopete4]

Good season Crew.

[adambr2]

This team is really good at believing they can get back in the race and wanting so bad to get back in the race.

 

Not so much at actually doing it.

[brewmann04]

well thankfully i can enjoy a beautiful night out now. Hopefully we see some moves now by Melvin very soon.

[pebadger]

I should post the graph again when I hear the notion about the Brewers needing consistent play. They've probably been more consistent than any team in the division this season. They're just simply not especially good.

Sell sell sell!

[RWeeksFan23]

Arroyo sure looks like Greg Maddux in his prime every time out against us.

[sauveb]

I wish Rock would shut up about Bruce being the greatest player in the world. I get sick of the same comments over and over and over.

[RWeeksFan23]

Jay Bruce has gotta be the biggest 'Brewer killer' in MLB right now.. he's a good hitter, but is just an extra base-hit machine against us, doesn't matter how hot or cold he is coming into the series..

[brewmann04]

love the pic

[TURBO]

Ishi, Ishi, he's our man!

[sauveb]

This team's situational hitting is worse than pathetic. Leadoff doubles that never get moved up a base. Trying to yank outside pitches when going to right is what is called for. Say goodbye Mr. Narron, you are toast.

[TURBO]

This is why having Hart playing anything other than 1B at this time is asinine.

 

He is a crappy right fielder to begin with, much less throwing him out there for one game every week or so...

[jjgott]

Feel bad for Bianchi. He's made some good contact for not having a hit yet.

[Thhhza]

sell baby sell!

[jjgott]

Required Reading for Melvin & Co.

This club used to be a lot more fun to watch, even when they were losing. The roadmap to a win for this team has very few forks in the road that can be successfully followed.
