  1. One hot streak shouldn't overshadow how mediocre the Cubs have been all year. Just as an unlucky losing streak shouldn't overshadow how good the Brewers have been. Cubs haven't been hitting all year and Quintana won't fix that. Sure they will be tougher to hit against because of him, but that still wont make up for their other issues. I'm all for the Gray trade. It's not like he would be a rental. There is both short-term and long-term value to him.
  2. Wow did that ump screw Keuchel over. He had Morales struck out on the pitch before the HR. Keuchel's already gassed and the ump does him no favors screwing him out of strikes. Just horrid officiating. Of course it's Houston's fault for putting themselves in that position. If their idiot manager had brought in Sipp back in game 4 maybe there wouldn't have been a game 5. Bad coaching kills teams. Hinch needs to go if they want to maximize this young ballclub's potential. I'm so tired of the extreme bias shown in favor of the queens. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. MLB badly wants the Royals to win. I hope the Blue Jays sweep them.
  3. Much better deal than the Mets one. Now hopefully Parra is next.
  4. Wow can't recall the last time I saw a team really go ''all-in'' the way the Blue Jays have. There ain't jack [expletive deleted by moderator] left in their farm system. This is either a brilliant all out high risk attempt at a title or the dumbest thing ever done. Either way this is fun. The Blue Jays usually don't contend and it's nice seeing a different team make a run. No one wanted to see the Yankees win the division anyways.
  5. looks like the rangers are back. next year's team will be very nice. the offense will be nasty as usual plus now a rotation trio of darvish, hamels, and gallardo (if he returns). rangers vs astros for the division will be fun to watch. heck we might not even have to wait. rangers could easily make a monster push for the playoffs this year.
  6. dumb trade by the nats. should have just gone after clippard. imo he's better plus he already has history with the team. don't understand the papelbon obsession teams still have.
  7. thank goodness the mets got cold feet. this was a bad trade. 1 injured high potential prospect is not nearly a good enough return for gomez. gomez and lucroy are the 2 biggest chips that this team has. the return the brewers get for those 2 guys has a major impact on the future of this franchise. if they screw up the trade, this team is in deep [expletive deleted by moderator]. i really hope melvin isn't focused on acquiring mediocre talent that can ''help'' now like wilmer flores. melvin needs to shoot for the stars on this. there's no need to trade gomez now anyways. if there's nothing good available wait until the offseason. i hope they are focusing more on trading parra. that's the deal that needs to happen and i'm a little concerned that the rumors regarding parra have been quiet. same thing with fiers. the a's have done a great job trading away their vets. brewers need to pick up the pace.
  8. This team keeps winning and it's awesome. I think a run at a winning record is definitely attainable. Brewers would be in wild card contention if the first months hadn't been so awful.
  9. Wow it's been a while. I was at game 1 of that Angels series. Tribe won the game. Haha I remember the crowd chanting steroids at Gary Matthews Jr.
  10. can't remember the last time they came to milwaukee. i like these rare interleague series.
  11. Agreed. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Sort of. Maybe the Cub fans are our... Frenemies? The "diehard" Cub fans that have stuck with their team during the last ten years of crappy play seem to be generally OK. They have some notable celebrity fans that are hard to dislike (Murray, Vince Vaugh & Nick Offerman). But when their team turns the corner in the next few years, there will be lot of bandwagon Cub fans that come back out of the woodwork that are some of the most insufferable fans you will encounter. Oh shoot it's going to be so annoying seeing those idiots travel in packs to Miller Park and starting fights.
  12. Nice to see the Brewers showing signs of life. Maybe Counsell is a good manager. Maybe the stench of RRR is finally wearing off. Who knows. All I know is that it's fun watching them again. Hopefully they can finish above .500.
  13. And that's why I don't think they'll do a total rebuild. Attanasio doesn't seem like the type of owner that is willing to sit through several mediocre seasons while waiting for prospects to develop. He has that Steinbrenner syndrome. Wants to compete no matter what. I think they might trade away 1 or 2 guys, but I doubt they'll trade away anyone important. He seems perfectly content to ride this wave until the very end.....and then sign another veteran ex-Cardinal pitcher and give away a draft pick
  14. Ugh that's an ugly list. Can't win in baseball without pitching. This team had a very talented offense that was always having to overcome the lack of pitching. IMO Brewers win the World Series in 2011 if the pitching staff hadn't fallen apart. Since then the team has sucked because the rotation wasn't good enough and now the once fearsome offense stinks. I hope the next version of the Brewers is centered around great pitching. The Giants have shown you can succeed with an average offense as long as your pitching kicks ass.
