The often injured pitcher from your streets, is soaking all his blisters on your Sheets. Bill Hall too is falling in the dew...and it's all over now, Baby Brew. The pennant race is for gamblers, better use your sense; it doesn't help your chances when your Mgr. is dense. The lazy, sloppy catcher who's on deck, is making all your starters look like dreck. Blow another lead and and say "What's new?", 'cause it's all over now Baby Brew. Feel free to add verses. Prediction: The Crew will finish at 75-87 winning 10 more games this season. Pocket Rocket

Once again, I see the Brewers winning only 10 more games this year to finish at 75-87 in 5th place behind Cincy and Pittsburgh. How can anyone put a rosy picture on what has happened to this team?

My " theory" is based on their current state of affairs ( pathetic play) and Yost's unfortunate history of second half collapses. Remember the record of second half collapses belongs to the '04 Crew. On the other hand, I hope I am wrong because I want to see them succeed.

My feeling is that the Brewers are headed for 12 games below .500 ( a 75-87 record) and a possible fifth place finish. I see them winning ten more games at the most. Anyone out there who still thinks the Crew has a bright future? Right now I'd trade our entire pitching staff for the Pirates' hurlers. (edited all-caps thread title --1992)

I agree that dealing Crapuano can only happen during the off season. I like Parra as an insert to the rotation next year. I'd also like to see Estrada packaged to an AL team ( his DH skills recognized). We need a real catcher.
