Win it for me. I have been going to games since 1982 when I was four. I have followed them since then. I grew to believe that playoff baseball was not possible in Milwaukee. Win so that I can erase all those bad memories from the 90's and early 2000's out of my mind.

I am not much for charging the mount but I think that it needs to happen. Macha tried to take the high road and let the MLB take care of the problem with his players getting plucked, but in the end MLB doesn't want to protect its players by not suspending that pitcher from Atlanta. Plucking players usually just leads to plucking players again. I want to see Fielder or Weeks go after the pitcher. I think that would probably stop the problem first.

It won't be the same without Uke. Get well soon. Davey Nelson seems kind of scary. Hopefully those who said he wasn't too bad in Chicago are right.

I kind of feel bad for Soup the person. He was booed pretty harshly last night. Of course I don't feel too bad that he can go home and cuddle with his $12 million to make himself feel better. Now Soup the pitcher I have no use for. When he is on the mound I have no confidence that we will win unless it is a homerun contest type of game. We can win those but I would prefer not to. I as a fan have no confidence, so I would have to believe the team doesn't have any either. That makes for a difficult day at the ball yard. I wouldn't let Soup pitch on my beer league softball team, so I would have to say that I don't want to give him anymore starts.

Every time I go to a game in April I am thankful of the roof on MP. I also remeber the April games in April at County stadium. I also remember flurries on opening day freezing. I also sat through a game that was delayed because of fog. No fun. I went to a couple games in Cincinnati last year and sat through a 3 hour rain delay just because we drove that whole way. If that was in Milwaukee I leave as soon as the rain started. I'll take MP anyday.

Uecker's Play by Play has never been the best. He has slipped. Sometimes you don't know what is going on while he is telling his stories. At the same time I really enjoy listening to him. As someone said earlier, he is a connection to my youth. I have listened to him since I was 9 years old. As long as he can tell me the score, I am satisfied.

I was actually thinking this the other day. I still don't mind the trade. I was a Brewers fan that was too young to enjoy 1982 but old enough to suffer through 21 years of never making the playoffs. I enjoyed the last week of that season so much that it was well worth it. People were worried that LaPorta would go onto a great career. He doesn't seem to be a blue chip player like Braun and Fielder.

I consider myself a bitter Brewers fan. They haven't been to the playoffs since I was 4 years old. I've seen so many disappointments over the years. I remember the 87 team that blew a 13-0 start, the 92 team that didn't quite catch Toronto. Paul Molitor being "just a D.H.", The entire rest of the 90's, Big Blue, and so on and so on. I expect them to lose out on the playoffs. I am pessimistic that they will make it, but at the same time I will be watching them tomorrow. I have begun to watch the Brewers like I watch the Packers. Yelling and screaming at the T.V. If they make the playoffs I will be extremely excited.

I have booed at Brewers games. I only have booed bad baseball. I hate when the Brewers don't play fundamental baseball. I haven't booed a player before he played, but I wouldn't stop someone from doing it. I believe the next homestand will be depressing. I went to the second to last game last year. when I bought the ticket, I hoped the Brewers would still be in it. They weren't. I ended up seeing about 3 pitches the whole game because I couldn't stand not playing for anything. I left after 4 innings. I would expect that this year. Of course the Cubs seris will just plain be embarrassing. Can you imagine Lambeau Field being filled with 90% Bears fans?

I will probably watch some games. Mostly because my wife makes me watch. That 4 game sweep by Philly broke my back. Watching the Brewers righy now is painful. Watching the Brewers now is kind of like that scene in Animal House where people are joining the evil frat house, sorry kind think of the name, and after they get hit with the paddle they say, "Thank You Sir, May I have another". So will I watch yes, a little. Will I enjoy it? All I can say is "Thank You Sir, Can I Have Another"

They seemed to play pretty loose in Philly. I mean the first two games of the seris they hit .100 with RISP. That is pretty impressive. I mean my softbal team has done that except that was with us spending 2 hours at the bar before the game.

The Brewers need to balance their offense next year. They have too many free swinging guys on their team. If they could add someone who could hit consistent and have a decent OPS, that is wha they should look for at 2nd base. As someone said above, a M. Loretta type would be awesome. Who that person is, I don't really know. Rickies D really isn't all that good either, so it would be nice to replace him there as well.

YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!

At least the Dodgers can be as dumb as well

Up in the zone doesn't mean at the knees
