*RED ALERT THREAD* 8/28/07 Brewers (Suppan. 8-11, 4.85) at Cubs (Hill. 7-7, 3.67) 7:05 CT

[AJAY]

What the hell was Yost saving Shouse for?

[bobskube]

Ned yost! Ned yost! Ned Yost! Ned Yost!

 

Yes, Linebrink is at fault too. I just hate how Yost positions these guys.

[phatmatt1215]

LINEBRINK SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bruce Ciskie]

So, Idiot lets Suppan hit in the 7th so he can be on a short leash?

 

Seriously, how is this (expletive) (expletive) a major league manager? This has to be some sort of cruel joke, right?

[Rob]

You would think the law of averages has to come in to play sometime during the Brewer's horrible run. How can every decision Yost makes blow up in his face? Eventually he has to get something right just by sheer dumb luck.

[bobskube]

everything Yost does with the pen is wrong!

[Nearsighted Views]

I shouldn't be surprised but I am.

[dlk9s]

At least Soriano, Lee, and Ramirez didn't do the damage?

[Trowekamp]

A great effort by Suppan.

 

However, this is usual idiotic Yost. We needed more than a bunt from a pitcher that was not going to be out there much more than a batter if he reached. It makes me sick.

 

Also, you put Linebrink in the stretch and out of his comfort zone for the first batter. Absolute stupidity!

Umm.. Linebrink is a reliever.. isn't the stretch where they are comfortable.. again I am continually amazed by the people ripping Yost for not bringing in Linebrink and then for bringing him in...

 

this is nothing more than bad pitching what we have seen all year...

 

[phatmatt1215]

After the sixth I was gonna say, "better take Suppan out", but I was afraid I would get beaten up like I did last game.

[LUKE232323]

4 days til football season. I can't wait.

[sheethead]

Its such a helpless feeling. You know its going to happen, and you just sit there and watch it over and over. Its a complete lack of mojo. Someone stole their mooojooo baby, and they aren't giving it back. Give them back their mojo $%%**!!!!!

[Trowekamp]

Ned yost! Ned yost! Ned Yost! Ned Yost!

Yep.. high pressure situation.. 2 run lead with a guy of first...

 

wow.. I mean how can it get worse than that..

[bobskube]

You walk Ward to get to Soriano!

 

 

WHATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trowekamp]

I agree.. there is no correct answer in the 6th and 7th innings this month...

It's making up for all the bad decisions he made in April and May that worked themselves out, I guess.

[dlk9s]

At least when Linebrink is home in the off season taking care of his newborn, he'll already know what it's like to be neck-deep in poo, watching everything spin out of control around him.

Much needed shot of levity.. thank you..

Read my first guess that I mentioned before any of this happened. You pinch hit for Suppan to try to get a big inning.

The reason why to bring in a reliever like Linebrink or Turnbow is to have them start innings and avoid starting from the stretch. Big difference.

 

 

 

 

[BrewCrewForever]

Nice work Linebrink. We traded away one of our top pitching prospects for your sorry ass.

[rluzinski]

Why will nothing go right for the Brewers? I said that 3 balls might make the difference between making the playoffs and a losing season. That might have been one of them.

[Ennder]

HBP, 2 infield singles and one hard hit ball and we lose the game. Story of the season right there.

[sheetsace]

its like we keep finding new and inventive ways to lose

[AJAY]

NOTHING Ned Yost does ever seems to work

 

Absolutely nothing.

[hurricanecrush]

This is just sad. Do you think they are playing a little tight?
