Come on, only three more runs until the Pays Big 21! ... Except then it would have to stay that way for another 4+ frames.

 

Yes, hoping that someone wins the Pays Big 21 is my only joy today.

[TheBrewer]

now I just wish the Brewers could do this to a team once in a while.. like a 20-2 win. wouldnt that be sweet

 

and Powell is reporting that Hirsh beat the Brewers yesterday with a broken leg yesterday.

 

and Hawpe just walked too

[phatmatt1215]

At this rate, we are going to give up 30 runs today. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

[bbaehman]

Seriously, I was not on the 'Fire Ned" bandwagon, but this might be it. How about showing some emotion when your team is getting kicked around? Three game sweep in Colorado....the last road series win? At Detroit June 12-14. Ned, please have a team meeting and right this ship. Otherwise I have two words from the whole state of Wisconsin: FOOTBALL SEASON!

[dpapo]

Okay, what's the modern day baseball record for most runs given up in a game and what is the Brewer record.

[sheetswannabe]

ok guys 3 grandslams and a 3 run shot wins it!!

[davego]

30 would be a lot.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Brewers trying to get back into the negative run differential - winning record category...

 

If their play continues like this, it'll be about two weeks before they aren't an above-.500 team

[BrewCrewForever]

This is just getting disgusting. I have a bad feeling here comes that 8 or 10 game slide. This will be #4.

[SeriesFinale]

Holy ravioli, I'd turned it off for a while and come back to find the hole has gotten bigger and the mess has gotten hotter

 

Every team always has one or two instances of being on the bad end of an absoloute laugher each year but the timing and cast of characters for this one is pretty disheartening

[JohnBriggs12]

That's now 27 runs allowed in the last 7 innings over two games. Brewers have scored 3 in that time.

It's now like watching a car wreck. You just wonder how many bodies will be strewn around.

[dlk9s]

Can Maddux and Castro go out there and pitch? Seriously. I'm not kidding.

[drezdn]

Didn't the Brewers win the second series against the Twins? Is Yost doing that thing where he hides his hands under his arm pits yet?

[phatmatt1215]

I am sure it has been said before, but I would love to see DM, or MA, lay into Yost(verbally). I don't care about what, just anything to fire him up, or just fire him, period.

[TGJforPrez]

Garrett Atkins is 4 for 4 and its only the 4th inning. I wonder what the record is for hits in a game w/o making an out?

 

Maybe we will sign David Wells!

[uecker9]

Too bad Colt 45 wasn't a sponsor, we might get that one today. The pays big 45!

[BrewCrewForever]

On a good note, Joe Dillon is on fire.

[bbaehman]

Just when you think the string of seasons not finishing above .500 might come to an end....this is the same team as last year (9 under .500) except for the hot 24-10 start

[BrewCrewForever]

I wish this was on TV, id like to see the Brewers faces. I hope they feel embarased.

[brewers255]

Why take out Wise? wow.

[dlk9s]

Holy crap. We're going to make up the deficit this inning.

[bucksman4]

Embarrassing. Today I'm embarrassed to be a Brewers fan. I never thought that rooting for a first place Brewers team would be so frustrating-agonizing-displeasing to me. They sure don't play like a first place team and soon WILL NOT be a first place team. Thank you Alfonso Soriano for....prolonging the inevitable that awaits in second place.

[bacon06]

I'm not really sure the players or coaches need to be fired up. They can just look at the scoreboard and feel embarrassed, which I'm sure they all do. I'm no professional athlete, but I'd assume that the team is upset with itself enough as it is for getting blown out like this.

[madjeff66]

Ok, here's what I don't get, it's 8-0 after two and one would think they'ed like to keep Yo off of double digits, so one would have figured he's done. At this point you aren't figuring on a ninth so 6 innings need to be filled. T-Bow 7th, CoCo 8th actually makes sense since they haven't pitched since Sunday and won't pitch tomorrow or Monday. That leaves Wise, Linebrink, Parra, Shouse, Spurling and Villanueva to cover 4 innings, likely one inning at a time. Villy is the last guy one would throw out there because he's thrown a ton in relief this year and he's really fallen off.

 

So what happens, Yost lets Colorado complete the defenstration of Yo (big confidence test in his next start), then brings in Villy who needs days off FAR more than he needs work at this point of the year. http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif

[phatmatt1215]

And, as usual, Jenkins strikes out against a lefty. Why Yost uses him against lefties is beyond my comprehension.
