I have to leave for a half hour and come back to see we gagged away yet another lead and our big trade reliever has another stellar outing,how shocking to hear the news.

[moofnelson]

Bill Hall sucks, why wouldn't you pinch hit for him?

[Rorschach88]

bill schroeder: "this is the first time this has happened all year... Ned yost managing to win."

Why is everybody swinging for the fences?

[aracko]

Biggest pitch of the season.....

[Bruce Ciskie]

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.

 

Why are we waiting? We're no longer even a .500 team, and we're not in first place. Not even in second place.

 

What's the reason, besides being afraid of taking some criticism from dump ESPN types who have no idea why Ned is incompetent?

[AJAY]

How about our version of an Aramis Ramirez blast right here?

[aracko]

Come on Gabe - even a base hit is huge right now

[Samurai Bucky]

Time for a bender in the dirt for him to swing at...

[moofnelson]

Bill Hall would have struck out about 6 pitches ago. Nice professional at-bat by Gross.

[rluzinski]

Fastball has lost 2 MPH during this long AB...

[adambr2]

Well, we probably won't make the playoffs, but at least we may set the MLB record for 3 run leads blown.

[SoCalBrewfan]

A season's worth of pitches for Estrada in one Gross AB.

[rluzinski]

Darn, Gross was even waiting for the off speed pitch.

[Samurai Bucky]

Hey -- there is Hurling on Setana Sports (Dish 406)... LOL!

[JET15]

Wow, what an AB by Gross. Bad ending, but good fight. Howry had Johnny next-to-worthless Estada next. Why didn't he just walk Gabe after the 12th pitch and have Johnny pop out on the first pitch?

[bobskube]

Wow...Yost used common baseball sense to get a good matchup here.

[adambr2]

I am guessing Yost is averaging about 3 hours of sleep every night for the last month.

[ecjimg]

I wish I didnt have tickets to the next 2 games. What a waste of time and money. How humiliating.

[Nearsighted Views]

You know what really sucks? I have to go watch this crap in person 5 more times this season.

[moofnelson]

The Brewers don't get big hits unless it's a Saturday night.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Hey, look. Brian Shouse is on to protect the two-run lead against a bunch of lefties.

[Nearsighted Views]

I hate Ned Yost. When the season started, I was one of his supporters.

[bucks2281]

Firing Yost tomorrow wouldn't necessarily be a terrible idea. It can't get any worse, can it? Third place, sub-.500 record, and something has to be said for constantly blowing sizeable leads.

[GormanHarvey]

I wish I didnt have tickets to the next 2 games. What a waste of time and money. How humiliating.

 

I'd take them
