Whoever made the quote, "September, it's the new August," please e-mail me the next winning lottery numbers. That quote is prophetic genius. If this team does not make the playoffs and Ned is still the manager next season, I will burn my Brewers shirts and post it on Youtube. This is pathetic. a bullpen full of call-ups and you leave a struggling closer in. Use one reliever per batter if you have to. After the absolute crap that has gone on the past week, this game needed to be won. We are getting pwned by sub-500 teams. This team no longer goes into games expecting to win. They now just hope that things go right - flailing at pitches, watching pitches right down the pipe go by, etc. Hey Prince, swinging as hard as you can at every pitch doesn't mean squat if you don't hit the bloody thing. Ned, you are here to win - NOW - tomorrow be damned. In fact, we traded part of the future for this year (can you imagine where we'd be without CC? shudder). There are all the stats saying the Crew should make the playoffs if they just play over 500 ball. Right now, I don't see that happening, and even if it did, do you think a team that backs in by some miracle would be worth hoping and cheering for? Didn't think so.
