Boo the Brewers!

[JJHardy7]

I was talking to a buddy of mine today and we started talking about Brewers (current at the time) and former Brewers that have been booed. Who do you remember being booed?

[adambr2]

Gary Sheffield for sure and deservedly so.

 

Wes Helms definitely did but I never really understood why. There have been a million others like him who didn't live up to the contract they signed.

[Patrick425]

I know you mean on a regular basis, but hard for me not to think about Rick Manning after his game winning hit with Molitor on deck still needing a hit to extend his hitting streak in 1987 (I was at that game).

[owbc]

From the title, I was afraid this was going to be a request to boo the current team...

 

Wes Helms on Opening Day was embarrassing.

Gagne was booed frequently in 2008...although it was sometimes hard to distinguish if the fans were booing him or Yost for bringing him in.

I know there have been others but it's probably for the best that they have been forgotten.

[trwi7]

Turnbow was booed. Axford was booed.

[JimH5]

Bud Selig was booed at the All Star Game when he called the game a tie.

 

I imagine there was some booing during the Mike DeJean/Jerry Royster mound confrontation.

 

I've softened with age and parenthood, so I think my booing days are over. But I could imagine myself booing Logan Schafer.

Rickie Weeks was typically booed last year before he even got to the plate. I understand some were upset his career went south with injuries, but dang he couldn't even bat without being harassed. One time he was booed vs. the Cardinals and proceeded to knock one way out...then fans cheered him. It was kind of a joke since he batted pretty decent last year.

I have booed Ron Roenicke's decision making several times in person at Miller Park.

I have booed Ron Roenicke's decision making several times in person at Miller Park.

 

I've booed Ron at games before but I remember being at a game towards to end of the Yost era when Ned was booed before the game when he was introduced and also as he stepped out of the dugout to make a pitching change.

[MrTPlush]

I booed Attanasio during that 10 game losing streak towards the end of the year as he bailed during the 6th inning.

[owbc]

Turnbow was booed. Axford was booed.

 

My favorite Turnbow moment was from the game against the Mets on his bobblehead night. I was sitting in the field bleachers. The Brewers managed to score 4 in the bottom 8th to tie the game. Turnbow promptly comes in and blows it (I think it was a home run...). Immediately after that happened, Turnbow's head came flying onto the field from above, nearly hitting the right fielder.

[AKCheesehead]

Tom Brunansky, Bill Hall and Franklin Stubbs are some I remember hearing booed loudly during the opening lineup at games I was at.

[RockCoCougars]

Rob Deer is the one that stands out the most to me. He kind of became the scapegoat for some underachieving teams his last few seasons here. I've heard that George Scott was basically booed out of town as well back in the day.

[DuWayne Steurer]

To make a comprehensive list would be difficult.

 

For me personally, I only ever boo'd a manager. Players, no matter how bad they are, are probably almost always giving their best athletic effort.

 

Managers are another story. Garner, Yost......we've had some doozies who couldn't manage a game of tic tac toe to a tie. And that deserves a hearty BOOOOOOOOO!

[3and2Fastball]

I boo Bud Selig's statue every time I pass it, on the way in & out of Miller Park. Call it a "character flaw" on my part if you want.

 

I don't boo Brewers players. I figure they have a tough enough time as it is without having their own fans boo them

 

I like booing the umps though. They deserve it sometimes.

[Invader3K]

Wasn't Sheets booed when leaving a game due to injury late in his tenure?

[pacopete4]

I don't think I've ever boo'd anyone at any event. Always seems silly to me. I'm pretty quite while watching sports. Don't cheer much either.

[Mr Southpaw]

I follow mama's rule...."If you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all". Like Brew4all said, booing seems a little pointless.

[BrewCrewForever]

I have a feeling that if Braun continues to struggle and it is not due to injury he will start hearing it. Especially with the amount of money and years left on his contract. It could get ugly.

 

Usually closers when they flame out always get booed DeJean, Turnbow, Gagne, Axford, etc. Position players I remember really hearing it are Sheffield, Stubbs, Hammonds, Helms, Jenkins (toward the end of his tenure), Hall, Weeks.

[tomwopat]

I would boo Wendy Selig-Prieb at every opportunity.

 

I booed Yost whenever he made a boneheaded move (i.e. a whole lot).

 

Never been one to kick a hometown player when they're down other when they're phoning it in and clearly don't want to be here.

[RockCoCougars]

I'm starting to get the feeling that Braun is going to be the 'most booed' Brewer of all time...

[MrTPlush]

I was just thinking tomorrow I will have to add him to my list if he plays tomorrow. Sitting in RF....

I love the Brewers, I can list stats upon stats, and scouting reports for most of their minor league systems however I don't take sports personally...they are a hobby I enjoy. I feel zero need for me to boo, insult, or rag on any players when I go to a game. There are players I strongly dislike on the team due to performance or playing style (such as a Marco Estrada) but I'd never stand up and boo them. That nor will I ever be an overreact and be a "FIRE RRR, FIRE MELVIN, ETC type fan constantly. I never put all my hopes and dreams on the Brewers winning World Series. If they make a run AWESOME! If not, I lose no sleep and I'll still go to games and watch them on TV. I personally like rebuilding and youth movements. I think its so fun to watch young guys come up and grow! Winning is just a fun product of doing it correct.

The only Brewer I ever booed was Fatty Helms. I don't think you should boo and my kids won't either.

Wes Helms has to be one of my least favorite Brewers of all time. I just hated watching him play.
