    It's always Ned's fault. The other day we should have brought Coco in. This time he was in and its still his fault. It's still July and I am not going to get worked up yet. I hate losing any game but it's so early and everyone is living off the cubs high and the brewers low right now. Things will settle down soon, I promise.

    Letting Counsell swing away at the first pitch with none out and a runner on first in a tie game. Blech My comment was mad after Braun grounded into the DP. But I know there was someone out there to use is as a way to get something in. We got the lead and still something is wrong.
  3. whynotthebrewers
    What can you do? That's who you want up in that situation. Get em next inning. Interested to hear what Ned did wrong in that inning. There is always something.

    There's still life. Doubters beware. Here we come.
  5. whynotthebrewers
    Well now I suppose the "down to one game" and "game over" people are now gone. Hopefully they moved on with their day and we can win this one by sticking in there. We are never out with that Braun guy on our team.
  6. whynotthebrewers
    Look at it this way. Maybe it will be advantage brewers on a couple upcoming games. But we need to beat the reds with a player out or not.

    Brewers will be fighting for the wild card spot come MON Morning These are the people that need a new hobby. If you hate the team this much do something else. What is the logic in saying these things? You want them to lose? I don't get all the negativity with this team at all. I will edit this with saying that I know people get frustrated but this is getting towards hate.

    have you ever played softball at all? have you ever played the infield during softball at all. When a guy that is pitching groove ball to a guy that can hit a ball 400ft. The fields are all torn up, you get bad hops all the time.. i haven't agreed with one thing you have ever said, please don't talk to me anymore. or respond to anything i write. Yes I play SS and I am good. I get hit from time to time but comparing that to a major league game and the rockets they get is pretty funny. I won't talk to you because you are write and need a new sport to play so you dont get hurt.

    but just because people aren't good enough to play pro, doesn't mean they don't play as much as they do. There are guys that I play with that play every day of the week including weekends. and just because its softball doesn't mean that you dont run as much, or throw as much or take balls of your shoulders or somewhere on their body. if anything softball players take more balls of their bodies in a hr then a baseball player takes in a week. This is what I am talking about. You do NOT play as much as they do. They hit, field, and play for about 5 hours a day or more depending on the guy. This goes on for 10 months or so. You play softball for 50 minutes and make some throws. Hardball a couple times a week is also not going to add up. And if you are taking more balls off the body than them, you should find a new position.

    in the summer I play softball sun, 2x on tues, wed, and thurs, on the days that I don't play softball I play baseball 2 or 3 times a week. After sundays softball or baseball game I play tennis for 2-3 hrs a night. This starts in april and goes til the end of fall. I would easily be happy to be able to play sports for a living. now softball isn't the same as a baseball game, but I would be willing to bet I run just as much if not more than anyone on the infield does in a baseball game. I hope you are kidding here. You don't travel, take BP everyday for a hour or two, take infield daily with hundreds of throws, play baseball over a 10 month period, etc.. This is why I really dislike it when people argue about managing or playing the game. Trying to compare these things is not even close but they are still made. We can't play or manage. If anyone could, why are you working your job and not making millions hanging out in a dugout?
  11. whynotthebrewers
    So we do something to get help the pen and people are pissed? Now that really gets me. And now we are complaining that we are getting rid of minor leaguers? We gave up a guy struggling in AA and a couple others for a proven bullpen arm. So Balfour will probably be sent down so I really don't get why anyone would be upset. We are trying to win now and not really giving up anything that will hurt us short term. But I guess anything that happens will create some complaining either way. I think this is a sign that we are at least trying to improve and win now. We can worry about signing him a bit later on.
  12. whynotthebrewers
    Rluz I chalk that up to being a common fan and only talking about the negative stuff and not seeing the big picture.
  13. whynotthebrewers
    When would we get started? I think this would need to begin pretty soon. Just over a month to go.
  14. whynotthebrewers
    I agree with all of this You really need to look at a bigger picture. Our team has great vets and great role players. How come these teams with huge payrolls and supposed great players, are not winning more? We are lucky to have the roster we have and can sit guys without losing a ton. And all guys have gone in a slump at some point and give something different to this team. It is just silly to get on guys over and over and over. Same thing everyday and once a guy is disliked, it last forever. Move on alread. In the end, its just a game. But I want to win just like anyone else who has been waiting their entire life.
  15. whynotthebrewers
    A little losing and it really gets sour in here. The negativity of our players is stunning. Jenks sucks, now I guess Gwynn has gone from loved to hated, Graffy is back and forth everyday, CC is bad always I think, and Yost always sucks.
  16. whynotthebrewers
    We are complaining about our catcher. there are about 15 other things we could talk about. Instead we are discussing one play from a catcher that can actually hit. But he doesn't run out one play that was a gimme double play and now, all of a sudden, the catcher whom was hated by most, is wanted back in the lineup. I will take Estrada anytime, if he is not injured. But he is one of the better hitting catchers out there and that is a short list. And Piazza is not what we need. Awful defensively as well, doesn't hit that well anymore, and makes a bunch of money. Not a good option.
  17. whynotthebrewers
    jhart, I am with you. Who cares if he is out by a step or 4? The catcher did wait and could have had him at anytime. This is an example of complaining just to get the last game off your chest. We lost in extra innings and there is anger whenever we lose. And someone has to be blamed. But it is always in the wrong direction. There are so many other things that could be blamed but it usually is the last couple people who did something wrong. Here is was Estrada and Balfour.
  18. whynotthebrewers
    We dump Estrada and there will then be threads on how our catching spot is a black hole and Can we have Moeller back? If we get rid of him we have to go with Rivera and he cant even hit down in the minors. There are not that many catchers that can hit and Estrada hits pretty damn good. You can be mad we lost but it doesn't matter how fast he ran there. The catcher pumped 4 times because he had so much time. Everyone is mad we lost but Yost and Estrada are not the reasons. One run over 12 innings is.

    Blaming Ned for this is very funny to me. I watched the same game as everyone else and I guess no one else saw them leave the bases loaded with nobody out. The game was well pitched on both sides and now Ned is getting heat because Balfour blew the game. We were down to our last couple guys in the bullpen so I am not sure what other options we had. But not scoring any runs really screwed this game and I am laughing out loud now that I read all this Ned stuff. Was there another game that I missed? It was all setup and we didn't get it done. But ned always seems to get the blame no matter what happens. I call those people the "blame Ned for any loss" people, because there is always an answer for what could have been done in order to win. So easy to say after the fact. But always fun to listen to seeing it always seems so easy, after the game is over. More runs were needed and some situational hitting would have been good. Hurts to lose but there doesn't always need to be someone to blame. Sometimes you just didn't get it done and you lose. Move on people.
  20. whynotthebrewers
    I would love to do that. I have been trying to get in a league like that for some time now. I always hear friends do it and I think I would like it.
  21. whynotthebrewers
    For all love the west gets, it really is not that impressive. Arizona and San Fran are not good at all, LA and San Diego have pretty bad offenses and great pitching. But they run into problems when they dont score runs and that has been happening lately. There will be alot of divisional play coming up here and things may change a bit. Before I get all up in arms I am going to wait a couple weeks and see the crew and the cubs do over that time. Cubs have to slow down right? It the first time most of us have dealt with this and while I am getting a bit nervous, we have played pretty well and the cubs are simply playing unreal baseball right now. But things will slow down and it should get really good in august here.

    I didn't even have to read much more than the first paragraph before I had a question. I posted something similar to this in the in game this morning but here goes. We lost a game and we know the second guessing will start because that is what everyone like to do I guess. A couple days ago people were outraged that Balfour was in the game and we lost. So there were all these other ways that we should have won the game even though we only had two runs on the board. I guess pitching would have helped that as well. But we lost and all the questions about having Balfour in the game, blah blah, were out. Now last night we get two quick outs and Villy loses it within a few hitters. He is one of the better arms we got out there and this is his time in the game to pitch. But Yost is supposed to know that he will fall apart in minutes and have someone ready? Even better, now we wanted to take Villy out in a tough sport, for Balfour? This is just getting crazy. Which way is it? I want Villy in there seeing he has gotten out of most of his problems and seeing he was facing a manageable hitter. I think this is another sign that people are freaking out with this race getting tight and the excuses are just falling out of the mouth very easily now. Cubs will slow down and we just need to win each series and play the same ball. But this Yost talk gets better everyday. I have no idea how you could put this on him but we now have the answer. Balfour should have been in. Got it.
  23. whynotthebrewers
    I don't get how Yost is getting heat on this one. This is definately one of those that is simply yost bashing. If Villy gets out of it, like most of the time, he is still a fan favorite and everyone loves him. But since he fails and people like him, yost gets the heat? Two quick outs and then things fall apart quickly. Even after a couple batters you are not going to take him out. It's not normal of him to have such a bad outing so I think its easy to assume that he would recover like he usually does. So it's not like we should have had someone up after 3 hitters or so and been ready to make a change. No idea that idea is going. Just excuses because the blame can't go on a favorite young kid who hasn't messed up much. Funny how that works. Bow has a few bad games this year, and with last year in mind, he needs to be traded or demoted. Villy has a couple, and we got yosted. Great stuff.

    Brewmann you need to find something else to do. Even in the vent thread you are the people I hate to talk to. How do you know the brewer players are nervous? That is the craziest comment you can say. You have no idea what the players feel like and they are still in great position. Easiest schedule in the NL the second half with the cubs and while the cubs are hot, so were we at one time. And you were probably saying just the opposite back then. Some fans just live week to week and don't take the ups and downs very well.
  25. whynotthebrewers
    Why are people talking about "if we get no hit" and every other negative scenario? It was only thru 5 innings plus and we are already ready to jump off the bridge. The panic of most fans is just crazy. Most of us have not been in this spot and we are now just going nuts. We lost one game after the break and that says a collapse is coming? I don't get it. Just take a few breathes and then look back at the tube to see a tie game and things are still ok. Take one game at a time and hope for the best. But this negative stuff and talking about the worst possible stuff is just awful. It's almost like wishful thinking.
