We gotta stay positive we get to hit against the cubs bullpen and if we do lose at least when the brewers go down they go down in flames gotta respect thathttp://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eek.gif

Mcclung was certainly my choice with runners at 1st and 2B and Remirez up.

 

I guess when the logical moves blow up in your face you might as well try the illogical.

[pebadger]

Schroeder was right to an extent that every team will give up 3-run leads in this age of offense. But the fact that the Brewers have given them up the MOST this season sort of makes the fact that you can rationalize it irrelevant.

 

6 most important outs of the season coming up. Let's see if this team has any mental toughness left. With a few glorious exceptions, they've simply wilted when things have gone against them.

[Jim Goulart]

Owen Wilson must be a Brewer fan.

[bobskube]

I do not want to have any war of words during this time of utter frustration.

 

I just purely have to say based on record alone and everything that has transpired that Ned Yost needs to be fired at seasons end unless a miracle happens.

 

Heck, we still might win this game, but Yost is to blame when everything goes wrong. Heck, you can try to justify everything, but the sum of this catastrophe rides with Yost.

 

Yes, our favorite godsend Melvin deserves a bit of the blame too because he hired Yost. However, since Melvin came, he has put some pretty talented players out there and won 2 out of every three trades.

[rluzinski]

All Linebrink had to do was not jump and take one step back, and this would be a tie game. It's just crazy how these games are working out. All that good, early season karma has come back to smack the Brewers x 10.

[JohnBriggs12]

Season in a nutshell right there. Yost lets Suppan bat in top of inning, Suppan wastes a two strike pitch by plunking an elbow, the guy we spent two top pitching prospects to get brings in the gasoline can out of the pen.

[RU Rah Rah]

I've sort of picked up the progress of the last few games late, and I keep finding myself trying to piece together the latest debacle. I just sort of expect having to figure out what went wrong, and how.

[AJAY]

How many terrible pitches are we going to swing at tonight?

[moofnelson]

I have seen some of the worst swings of the season tonight.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Mcclung was certainly my choice with runners at 1st and 2B and Remirez up.

 

You forgot the blue.

[BrewCrewForever]

I love this team but its been really hard to keep watching everyone of these flat out bad losses. I mean Im starting to question why I keep spending my nights watching this crap and not spending time with my fiancee, working out, playing xbox, going for a bike ride and numerous other things I want to do but thik to myself naw, I love the Brewers and they might actually win tonight. It has happend on rare occasions in the second half as you all know.

[Jim Goulart]

I swear all Cub spitchers have to do tonight is throw pitches at eyebrow level and watch the Brewers flail themselves into the ground.

 

And now we have to hear more about Suppan's winless start streak.

[rluzinski]

6 most important outs of the season coming up. Let's see if this team has any mental toughness left.

 

It takes a lot more than mental toughness to score 2 runs in 6 outs. It takes skill and luck. Let's hope the Brewer have a bunch of both.

[BrewCrewForever]

I just dont know what to say anymore.

[AJAY]

Why isn't Gross or Jenkins hitting for Kevin Stench?

[bobskube]

why is mench batting against a righty? bueller?

[aracko]

Come on Mench - I might be the only guy who has stuck up for you all year. Show me why

[JET15]

No confidence call for Bill Hall

[JET15]

No confidence call for Bill Hall

[AJAY]

Gross hitting for Hall?

 

I like this.

[Ennder]

Good move by Yost here, bet it doesn't work out.

[rluzinski]

Gross for Hall.... anyone would have guessed that move happening this season?

 

Good move by Yost here, bet it doesn't work out.

Heh, agreed and agreed.

[BrewCrewForever]

Season in a nutshell right there. Yost lets Suppan bat in top of inning, Suppan wastes a two strike pitch by plunking an elbow, the guy we spent two top pitching prospects to get brings in the gasoline can out of the pen.

Yeah, this really is what this whole season has become. And now Hall gets pulled for Gross, he has officially hit rock bottom.

[aracko]

Well I have no problem seeing Gross come up with a shot to give the Crew the lead..
