Griffey hits taylor made DP ball to Braun, Braun throws it away, Gross throws it away trying to get Griffey at second, griffey scores.

 

I'm going to go watch the little leagers now, they play better defense than we do.

[JET15]

OMG, this is so disgusting... I can't believe what I'm seeing...

[And That]

Pa-freaking-thetic.

Dear Brewers Offense:

 

I'm sorry for what I said whatever I said. Please come back. I miss you! You were so fun to have around. Singles, Doubles, hit and run execution, opposite field hits. Not just the home-run but indeed plenty of homers too. I even remember this time where you got like consecutive hits. Maybe even 3 in a row. Wow! It was amazing. I'd love to see that aagain. I miss you dearly. We're even at Miller Park. You used to love to show up there. Now thats no longer true. I'm so depressed. I can't take much more.

 

Please Please Come Back. I'm begging.

I honestly don't think we'll end up with a winning record this year. Oh, well. There's always 2008.

[craigharmann]

The Brewers have now hit rock bottom. That was unbelievably horrible. I'm taking a break from watching, listening, EVERYTHING regarding this team for a while. I have no clue when I'm coming back to them, but wow. That was just horrible. They are now going to be in second place.

[rluzinski]

There's no explanation for this kind of stuff. None. The Brewers aren't this bad. No team is. The fact that they've been able to maintain this level of despicable play for at least 2 weeks is astounding. They aren't losing 4-2.

[pebadger]

And now for a musical interlude . . . .

 

 

. . . .

 

Say you'll be alright come tomorrow, but

tomorrow might not be here for you.

 

Ooh, ooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell?

Ooh, ooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you.

[crewcrazy]

If the Brewers had even an average defense, this pitching staff would be so much better. This 7th inning has just been brutal defensively...I can't think of another inning all year that was this bad. Jeez.

 

At least Cincy's bullpen is less than stable, but with the way Arroyo is throwing, the Brewers might not see the bullpen until the 9th.

[uecker9]

Paging Morris Buttermaker....

[rluzinski]

When the Brewers play this bad, I can't help but actually feel better. I mean, how can you not just chuckle at this insanity?

[craigharmann]

You can chuckle when it happens once in a while....when it becomes routine, you cry.

[BrewCityUnit]

Eric Gagne just blew another save....that made me chuckle

[bobskube]

Guys, how's life?

 

I'm not giving up till its over, but I have a hard time believing in these guys.

 

It starts with Yost being ousted at seasons end. But they cannot hire another rookie manager or even Joe Girardi. A team like this needs someone who has had success for a period of time. No one better than LaRussa for this team. All he cares about is winning and he won't baby anyone. (Ask ozzie Smith.) If we hire another manager who is inexperienced, you might has well as kept Yost.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Bronson is at 74 pitches with 2 out in the 7th. I say he gets the complete game without passing the century mark. Very doable against this team and its free swinging spirit.

[rluzinski]

Arroyo has only 76 pitches through 7 innings, despite giving up 6 hits. How do you do that?

[craigharmann]

When he's making about 3 pitches an inning, a complete game is easy to do!

[uecker9]

Davey Nelson will be visiting the vent thread soon...or the drunk thread.

[yogallardo43]

I am a Davey Nelson fan but his skills as an annoucer are just terrible. That was just pathetic.

[crewcrazy]

When the Brewers play this bad, I can't help but actually feel better. I mean, how can you not just chuckle at this insanity?

These past couple of weeks definitely have that "10-car pile up" appeal that you can't help but stare at in amazement at. I can't even get mad anymore...I'm just wondering how bad it'll get. I would think that letting Griffey circle the bases on a double play ball to Braun would be near the bottom, but I could be wrong.

 

[rluzinski]

Well, at least I get to see Vargas and the second place Brewers in person tomorrow. AHHHHHHHH!

[Diskono]

I don't care how many pitches he's thrown, he's still David Spade. I smell comeback.

[danzig6767]

Great angle to take on that fly Billy

[crewcrazy]

Well at least J.J. is heating up again. Too bad they've all been solo shots...I can't complain too much about actually scoring runs, though. It's a start.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

We are just kind of a dead team right now. We aren't hitting, pitching, or fielding well. I fear that we will only win about 77 games this year.
