Ralph Wiggum

He's the best former pitching phenom turned outfielder in the Cardinals system...kind of a bizarro-Keischnick.

I doubt if any of those players (besides maybe Loaiza as a 5th starter) would start for Milwaukee. The 2005 Washington Nationals are the 2004 Milwaukee Brewers.

Of course, it also appears he ate his "Ankielies" today, too.

Wow, Doug ate his Wheaties today!

See, our 35-year old catcher can do it, why can't the two highest-paid players in our line-up, and our supposedly "star" 1B, do it?

gotta love Bill Hall. He's really swen up that hole in his swing this year.

wow, Davis with a Ben Sheets-esque line through two...4 Ks but a HR given up, and losing.

If we trade Wes Helms to the Nats, I guarantee he'll hit 30 second half homers and have 80 RBIs. That's how their luck is going this year (well, besides Spivey)

Dumb Preston. Booo! Sad http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Look at the second page of the bjames thread. The posts have vanished.

Haikus were for snobs Then this awesome thread began By default I'm one

B.J. just got told What is up by the site boss He should read fine print

Hope it's not just me I think Cap destroys that line Predict ten K gem

Both in the seven spot Lowell and Branyan swing hard But come up empty

Bill Hall grabs some pine Looks like Feliz gets a start On my fantasy team

Division race lost Wild card race is fading fast Time for the youngsters?

Please, please banish the polls. I almost can't stand going to the major league forum, and seeing those three worthless polls at the top of the page. Begone polls, BEGONE! If I have to see another "Fire Yost" poll, I think I may whimper quietly in the corner.

The biggest thing wrong with this team is that they don't seem to realize that players like Magruder and Durrington are not major league ballplayers. We don't have the talent in the starting line-up to be able to get away with having crap like Mags and Trent on the bench. On a crappy team, there really shouldn't be much of a drop-off from your starters to your bench. On this team, it's definitive (sans Jenkins, who is having a career-worst year, but has proven throughout his career to be a fine major league corner outfielder.) Wes Helms' high average is about is about as paper-thin as you can get. He's been put in situations to succeed, and has done a commendable job. However, those are the situations for a young guy or a bench guy, not one of the highest-paid players on the team. Lee and Clark have been great. Cirillo was great before he got hurt. Hall has been super. Weeks has been adequate so far. Overbay has been Overbay. He's basically Mark Grace...a great complimentary player, but not someone you want carrying the team for any length of time. Miller has been exactly what he was advertised to be--solid with the glove and the bat. He's not a .300 hitter, and won't hit 30 HRs. However, he isn't the problem. Jenks' poor year and not having a solid, everyday SS or 3B have been the main problems. Sending J.J. down may help. Hall would take over at SS, but who becomes the everyday 3B? Not Helms. If it's Branyan, that's fine....but stick with the guy. Enough of this musical infield chairs. If Hart comes up, he plays the majority of the time in RF. I don't want a Jenks/Hart platoon. Platoons rarely work, especially with a veteran and a rookie.

Just don't walk under any tall buildings or bridges this afternoon.

eh, you win some, you lose some. They'll get 'em tomorrow.

Yup, all on Santana today. Should Turnbow have been in? Who knows. This sucks.

Well, I think we can end the "Julio Santana is awesome" talk for awhile. God I hate the Cubs.

Hey, if you are going to come out and cheer for the Cubs, just do it. Stop skirting around the issue. The name of this site is Brewerfan.net, not www.occasionalBrewerFanWhileAlsoBeingACubFan.net. Your act is getting stale.

Boooooo. I thought you went over to that Cubs board?

What? A bunt? I don't care if it worked...bunting is the devil. Fire Ned. Fire him now. It's Ned's fault that everyone in the line-up doesn't hit a homer every time up.
