2008 Vent Thread (part 3)

To borrow a line from Weekend Update

 

"Really?!? 23 left on base Brewers?!? Really?!?"

[moofnelson]

Just another year when Brewers fans are overheard muttering, "When does Packer season start?"

[DougJones43]

Last Place!!!

"Celebrate good times, come on..."

Thanks DJ43 for making me laugh. Feel like I could live in the vent thread.

Go Brewers.

 

P.S. Where's Pedro? I need someone to help me make sense of the madness!

[MickeyDavis]

Quit overreacting. TIED for last place. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Team is in last place. Time for a change. Firing Ned is the first place they go.

 

I think the whole makeup of the team should be in question.

[Fatter than Joey]

We should do what the Indians did that year they were in last place, and then eventually beat the Yankees to get to the World Series. I think the key is to get a naked cardboard cutout of the team's owner, and cover the cutout with other smaller pieces of cardboard numbering precisely the amount of wins necessary to get to the playoffs.

[BrewCrewForever]

Fire Ned. We just need to change something and it seems the most logical. Come on down Frank Kremblas.

[iluvlamp]

Pathetic.

That sure seems like a lot of work to put together the cardboard cutout. I don't think these guys are up to the task.

I'm sure these guys can battle one together in no time.

This team has a terrible lack of Focus throughtout this team

[nate82]

Not calling up Branyan and allowing Dillon to play 1B in the first game was a mistake. I don't see why Dillon and Gwynn are on the team. Both add nothing to the team. Counsell and Kapler both do the same things that Gwynn and Dillon do. I really don't see the need to have Gwynn and Dillon on the team.

[Mike2k33]

Well, once we go like 1-9 on this trip, Ned will be gone. That should excite the anti-Ned crowd, but then the Brewers will probably lose 14 of the next 17 like old times and we'll finish with 90+ losses. That should clear out the bandwagon pretty nicely.

[marquettefan13]

I'm sick of this pathetic defense. I wasn't buying it when it kept being said that the defense was so much improved this year. And after this awful defense displayed in Boston I hope I don't have to hear about the supposed improved defense anymore.

[brewmann04]

we have heard alot of how the brewers are new an inproved but this team has been no improvement so far thisseason and something will need to be done.

[JohnBriggs12]

This team needs new leadership. This series is one huge embarrassment. Fielder is supposed to be a leader, and he's smirking after dropping a perfect throw to first base.

[bklynbrewcrew]

I was really bothered when Fielder was smirking after his little league error. Time to make changes. Im not watching another game till Yost gets the ax.

[windiv07]

I'm not changing my avatar until then, either.

[Bring Back the Stein]

Among the most depressing of many depressing parts of this series was listening to the Boston feed, in which the announcers spoke about the Brewers as they would special needs children, a patronizing tone almost bordering on tenderness, but never anything veering on the way you'd speak about worthy peers. And neither should they. The Brewers are worthy of the contempt. The franchise. The management. The personnel.

 

It's an odd place to be, getting charity from the mouthpieces of a franchise that, other than the Chicago Cubs, had been synonymous with historical baseball futility.

Hopefully you enjoy watching golf or nascar. It'll be a long summer otherwise.

Maybe that is the problem. Ned and Doug have a naked cardboard cut out of Mark?

[bklynbrewcrew]

If Ned isnt fired tomorrow it sends the signal that Attanassio is satisfied with last place. They are completely giving up on the season if Yost isnt fired by tomorrow.

That technicality got resolved pretty quickly.

[COOOOP]

I had this irrational fear (so i thought) that TGJ would DH. I thought nobody in their right minds would ever do that. Boy was I right on both counts! We seem to be unprepared for what is coming up. I am thinking about sending daily planners to Doug and Ned to help them out. An excerpt would be:

 

May 17-19, at Boston

We play there, there is this DH thing they do.

As much as we love Tony Gwynn Jr., he is not a dh.

Before this series, let's adjust the roster so we can have a dh, we may just have one (or three) in the minors right now.

Wash car.
