Matt Wise is a lost cause. Its sorry to say, because he was so good for so long. But right now, he's just a wasted roster spot on a tired pitching staff.

[Ennder]

can we stop with the how many wins did we expect at the begining of the season. Expectations were changed after the very hot start and when Braun and Yo came up. They should have won 90 games this year.

 

My expectations included Braun and Yo coming up, I didn't expect Weeks and Hall to be more or less useless all year or the rotation to all have terrible years either. The hot streak never really changed anything, 34 games doesn't really mean much.

Is Colorado just this good, or are we just this bad on the road?

[jlau20]

Bill Schroeder probably started throwing them back an inning or two ago.

[brewerjamie15]

It's official. The bullpen sucks.

 

Blow Pen

its sad watching Wise pitch. it really is. This goes beyond not pitching well and thats really sad. Hitting a guy in the face has totally turned Wises life around.

[phatmatt1215]

Could Nedgar get the boot, even in the middle of a playoff (did I just say the P word?) push?

[lumberrule]

Just 4 more days til #4 is back under center.

[jlau20]

If Johnny would hustle more often, I'd actually feel bad for him having to endure these last few innings behind the plate.

[crewcrazy]

I just feel really bad for Matty right now. When he hit Pedro Lopez in the face in Cincinnati, you could see that he was a little freaked out about what he did, and it doesn't look like he's been the same since. It's really a shame, since he's been so solid the past few years. I really hope he can figure it out soon, since I've always liked him, but he's been having some serious control issues lately.

We're just that bad on the road.....

Bonds just hit his 756th. I think it was against the Brewers bullpen.

[brewerjamie15]

I know it makes no sense for a 36 year old man to get upset about this junk, but the Brewers have me quite angry again and I'm going to take a break from them for a while. I'm done with the garbage. I think I need a break from it. I don't know for how long, but I'm not going to watch them for a while.

[brewmann04]

well at least the cubs lost blah blah blah

[Ennder]

The rockies have been the best team in the NL over the last month+ and they are much better at home just like the Brewers. This really doesn't come as a big shock to me given our recent struggles. As expected this division is going to come down to which of the Brewers/Cubs sucks less, not which one deserves to be in the playoffs.

[jason21nl]

and bonds just broke the record

[mls4]

I really want to keep following the team- I'm intrigued just to find out which member of the bullpen is going to blow up next.

[jlau20]

And we have a new home run king.

 

I guess.

 

Whoohoo. Go Brewers.

[uecker9]

Well if we score, what play do we use for the 2-point conversion? Is Chester Marcol available tonight?

[lumberrule]

If the Brewers are serious about making a playoff run, Matt Wise needs to be DFA'd. Tomorrow.

 

You just cant have dead space on a roster in the middle of a pennant race. Every player needs to have a role. Right now, Wise doesn't have one.

[crewcrazy]

Is Colorado just this good, or are we just this bad on the road?

 

Colorado has the third best home record in the National League, and have been one of the hottest teams in Major League Baseball since the All-Star Break.

[phatmatt1215]

Barry Bonds passed Hank Aaron

[adambr2]

Okay, I changed my mind, let Dillon pitch because he'll probably be more effective than most of our relievers.

[brewerjamie15]

Your 2007 Brewers.

This is why people become alcoholics.

[Ennder]

I dunno, he threw strikes to the last two guys. Maybe this outing is just what he needed. Yost/Maddux are going to have to talk to him and judge what to do from his mental state.
