Haha, it's always nice to come into this thread to see that every Brewers fan is having the exact same thought as my brother and I. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed to get 4 runs in an inning.

[craigharmann]

Bushie is pitching well. Check.

Team scoring runs. Check.

Prince is the MVP and crushing homers. Check.

This is fun! No doubt about it!

[trwi7]

I like the Weeks that has his power stroke back.

*BREAKING NEWS* Northsidebaseball.com is reporting LaRussa is losing this game on purpose. Who knew?? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

SouthSideRyan's got it right over there. I think it's just one or two guys--like we don't have Grassy Knoll Gunmen here.

 

I'd like to know how 98navigator got the idea that the majority here thought the Pirates laid down for the Cubs this weekend--I think most people here knew that rooting for the Pittsburgh Pirates to do our dirty work is a futile pursuit going into it.

I think they probably posted that about 3pm this afternoon. Or yesterday. What a bunch of morons.

[trwi7]

Jenkins is brutal.

[SeriesFinale]

Wainwright sure is dealing for someone bending over for the Crew

[adambr2]

I don't know whether to be disappointed FOR Jenks, or be disappointed IN Jenks.

 

I feel bad for the guy, he's been around for this for so long, but I really thought he was going to be the guy to lift this team on his shoulders in a September playoff chase, and he's been just brutally disappointing.

[MoneyballMan]

Exactly. And that's what those moron conspiracy guys never think about. Even if LaRussa wanted to throw the game, do they really think a guy like Adam Wainwright would just go out and throw batting practice?

You said exactly what I was thinking. It's nice that he's playing so the crowd can acknowledge him, but he is just not looking good these days.

Its funny that the Cub fans still cry when there up 3.5 games.

[trwi7]

Wow a Brewers catcher threw a runner out. Have my eyes decieved me? Is that really possible?

[SeriesFinale]

Miller has thrown more runners out than Estrada this year, right? Or does it just seem that way.

[trwi7]

What is it with Dave Bush and giving up homers to crappy hitting Cardinals catchers?

[MoneyballMan]

I had to look at the replay of that throw out at 2B myself! I'm sure the Cubs fans will just point to them running in that situation as more proof of the Cards throwing the game.

 

Until Gary Bennett hit one into the Menomonee Valley.

[SeriesFinale]

Oh, Brauny

[JrDave2304]

While Braun's error did extend the inning....Bush cannot give Bennett that meaty of a pitch to hit

[rluzinski]

I am so sick of watching bad defense.

[Ennder]

Whats with all the HR's by poor hitting C's against us this year, seems like every series we get hit hard by them.

[MoneyballMan]

I am so sick of watching bad defense.

Unfortunately, you probably won't have to watch too many more games.

[Brewtacular]

i am afraid i have seen this before. Big first inning followed with 0`s and a loss.

[trwi7]

I am so sick of watching bad defense.

 

Well then I have some advice.

 

1. Don't watch the Bucks this year.

2. Watch the Packers.

[SeriesFinale]

While Braun's error did extend the inning....Bush cannot give Bennett that meaty of a pitch to hit

Sure, but the egg came before the chicken in this case.

[moofnelson]

Let me guess, Bennett's other HR this year was also against Bush.

[adambr2]

I am so sick of watching bad defense.

 

Since that bad defender is probably a .320 40 HR 110 RBI guy, I don't know what we can do other than either hope he improves. Or we can move him to LF, but then where does that leave LaPorta?
