  1. Did I just read something POSITIVE from David?!?!?!? I'd have a lot more positive to say if the bozos in the front office could manage to put some talent on the Brewers major league team. And once they put the talent there, if they could find a manager with a clue how to play the talent instead of 36yo has beens.
  2. Stars win despite getting only four hits; Ben Hendrickson sets aside any health fears with six shutout innings Ben hasn't been getting the lovin' this year that Manny and Luis have gotten, but I think it's pretty clear from the way he has pitched when healthy that he's a darn fine prospect and I can't wait till he's completely over these injuries and smokin' again.
  3. If your choice is sending VanderWal for one of those two, who would you choose? Depends on whose wife I was screwing.
  4. I've read this sentence about nineteen times now and I have no idea what it means. That's Igor-speak. You just have to learn to throw in a few commas, an extra period or 4, a preposition here and there and you'll be fine.
  5. I'd send Hardy, Clark, Krynzel, Nelson, Johnson, and Weeks to the AFL. Reason #......I believe I've lost track, so.....another reason that I'm glad you aren't the GM of the Brewers.
  6. What does Al say about this? Managing with your heart, not with your head? Yeah. Bill I think you give Yost too much credit. I think he is managing with his head. Unfortunately Nedly is a v4 in a profession that needs at least a v6 or better to survive.
  7. Maybe we should have a Brewerfan nation poll to see how many members now want Weeks to sit again tonight. We would probably have a mass conversion to the Democratic party just to get in on the ballot stuffing. Heck I might even vote against myself. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  8. It's possible to do an outstanding job with what you were given, yet fall short. Would that make the roster "less devoid of talent" than when Melvin took over?
  9. Weeks didn't play, fear not. What's wrong!!!!! If he doesn't play soon, he may never make it to the majors. My god, he's been signed for 3 days and he isn't in a game, he was sent to arizona instead of cooperstown, now we have to agonize when he'll ever get on the field if not ever. Someone please tell us he'll be in the lineup for sure tonight or I may just die.
  10. Perhaps if the roster wasn't almost completely devoid of talent, he could us a more positive metaphor. How can the roster be devoid of talent if Melvin has done an outstanding job since he was hired?
  11. David, you're the only guy I know who will complain about a quality start. Most of your complaints are warrented, but not this one. 6IP, 3 runs is a quality start. It also is a pitcher with a 4.50ERA and not every start will be a quality start. My comments were that Kinney has the stuff to be a very good starter, but it seems in every game he falls asleep or loses concentration and he gives up a bunch of runs. Compared to Sheets and several other pitchers with similar numbers, Matt gives up many more multiple run innings than other pitchers. He can go most of the game without making mistakes, then when 1 happens, he gets unnerved, then another happens, and before you know it he's given up 3 runs. That's not a physical problem, it's a mental problem. If he didn't have the ability to be a better pitcher I wouldn't mind so much, but we've all seen that he has some good stuff. Maybe a light will go on, maybe not, but as he is he's a #5 starter.
  12. Didn't last long until it became a typical Kinney game. Coast along for 5-6 innings, then bam multiple mistakes and before you know it 3 runs on the board. All the scoring was with 2 outs. Kinney doesn't lack the physical abilities, he just lacks the mental toughness to succeed at the Major league level.
  13. I really think the Brewers would do no harm in bringing up Martinez to face Florida Friday. There is absolutely no reason to start his arby clock for a 90+ loss team. Think beyond today.
  14. Jim made a good point that this team is worn out and needs a day off. Hopefully they can suck it up and get a win. They just had a 3-day vacation over the All-Star break (everyone except Richie and Jeff). They are probably just sick of losing.....now maybe they know how their fans feel.
  15. It just kills me to see that teams like Florida and Montreal somehow manage to be competitive despite drawing 3,000 fans a game, but our own Brewers continue to stink despite drawing much bigger crowds and playing in a palace of a stadium. That's an excellent observation AJAY. Maybe you should email Ulice Payne and ask him why that's the case. Better yet, maybe the next time a Brewerfan.net group runs into Ulice they can ask him why. I'm not expecting an honest answer, but it seems like we've never seen that question asked and the PR answer in the MJS. Maybe we could get a Brewerfan.net exclusive: Ulice Explains why the Brewers Suck! Actually, I wold love to see Ulice explain why Baseball economics hurt the Brewers more than other small market teams.
  16. Splat. Thump. Wham. Not sure which is the best way to describe that game.
  17. Just wanted to share in case others were unaware... That he's the worst pitcher to throw a no hitter or he's a pitching coach for the Barons? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  18. "They call me Seabiscuit now," Perez said. What was wrong with Lard Ass?
  19. Crazy, huh? Apparently the pitch bounced off Phillips' mask and he couldn't find it. Eddie had his PF Flyers on and scored standing up. Eddie was immediately put on oxygen....he may be out a few days from exhaustion.
  20. Geno, I'm glad I erased the 2 pages I wrote while you were writing your post since I wasn't comfortable with what I was saying. You, however, said it perfectly.
  21. Yeah, either that or he's just having a good time and letting his audience (brewer's fans) have fun at another team's expense. Yeah it's true the only way Brewer fans can have a good time is by making fun of other teams. We can't make fun of other teams by comparing records, or playing games, or comparing team historys, or comparing team starts, or anything. I think it's pretty clear that the Brewers are a truely pathetic organization.
  22. I can't really add much to this except to ask, since the Mets have 2 World Series titles, 4 pennants and a better record than we have, what does that make the Brewers then? Amen Geno. If you ask JP he'd go on one of his baseball economics ******** tangents and imply the only reason the Mets are better than the Brewers is because of a bigger bankroll. JP is too busy being a company tool and attacking other teams so that Brewer fans don't pick up on FACTS like the ones you just quoted Geno.
  23. Well this game is taking on a bad smell as Vizcaino has, once again, turned a close game into a near blowout.
  24. He doesn't do any research, he makes unwarranted assertions more often than talk radio hosts, he is utterly inconsistent in his beliefs, and he has no grasp of baseball strategy. Hmmmm.....I could have a career as a baseball broadcaster! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  25. OberBrewer did a very nice job. I was definitely impressed by the placement of his pitches. [bOR] Podzilla: I'm not sure if he's fatigued, unless it's so fatigued he can't get the bat off his shoulder on 2 strikes when the pitcher throws one down the middle. I missed the location of that last Strike Out Looking, but the first one looked pretty close to down the middle. He needs to learn to protect the plate with 2 strikes. Rookie mistakes. [EOR]
