this would be a lot more fun if the Brewers had a 1st rounder. If the Brewers still had that 1st round pick, who do you think they would have taken?

Don't get me wrong, as long as he is a Brewer I'll defend him until the end of time. My attitude with athletes has changed. I use to look up to them. As I have gotten older I have changed. I just treat them as other human beings. I'm a Braun fan no doubt. It did bug me that his name was in a drug scandal. I agree that he doesn't need the juice to be a great ballplayer. In my opinion he's a hall of famer. Steroids make you strong but they don't improve your technique, bat speed, and vision. You still need to know how to hit. Barry Bonds could have hit 500 legit HR's without juice. Bonds was a hall of famer before the juice. Braun has great technique and vision. He doesn't need that junk. You shouldn't feel like crap over what an athlete is doing to his body. If anyone should feel like crap it is Braun, if guilty. Braun if guilty has let down many fans and kids that look up to him. This crap just needs to be over so that everyone can move on. My opinion of him won't change guilty or not. Steroids make you strong but don't make you talented. How many bums have taken steroids and never amounted to anything?

Peralta pitched very well against Philly last time. Hopefully he keeps improving. It will be fun to watch him pitch if he can control his break-a-ball pitches tonight.

If Braun gets suspended then so be it. This season is lost anyways. I would rather he be suspended in a lost season like this one. Personally, I don't care if Braun is taking steroids. He's a grown man that makes his own decisions. If he is content with having shriveled testicles, saggy boobs, and heart problems then that's his decision. I don't know him personally. He doesn't mean anything to me. It's the same thing with the rest of these ball players. I don't give a crap what happens to them. They don't pay my bills. In fact we the fans pay their bills. I'm sure that their are many other players doing the same junk. Braun if guilty is just another player on the long list of cheaters. In a perfect world baseball would still be a clean game. In a perfect world you could make it to the big leagues just on talent and hardwork. In this day and age baseball is a dirty game just like every other sport. A lot of players are on something, that is just the sad truth. If Braun gets suspended then that's what he deserves for being an idiot. I root for the Milwaukee Brewers, not the Milwaukee Brauns. My world will not come crashing down just because one of the Brewers got in trouble.

They won 96 games in '11, and easily had the talent to win the World Series. I'm genuinely sorry that you couldn't enjoy that. Anticipation is great and all, but the real thing is better. It sounds like you had more satisfaction following the team from '99 to '04 than you did enjoying the realization of the anticipation of those years. Which is a little bizarre, I have to say. That 2011 season was magic for me. That team felt like a team of destiny. Everything about that year was great. The massive turnaround in July and August was fun to watch. My heart stopped beating when Arizona tied it in game 5. I went nuts when Nyjer Morgan hit the walkoff. I was crushed when we lost the NLCS to St. Louis. I was sad watching that final Prince Fielder at bat. I will never forget that season. Great year for the Brew Crew! No kidding It's one thing to disagree with how a front office builds a roster, but to care so much about that to where a person was unable to enjoy at all watching a team win 96 games, win a thrilling 5 game series vs Arizona, and then be two games from a World Series berth is also bizarre to me. I know someone like that in regards to the Packers. He hated Ted Thompson before the year Green Bay won it all. He'd complain that Ted was cheap and wouldn't go after more free agents like Ron Wolf did. He regularly whined that McCarthy was clueless and TT was an idiot for hiring a head coach with weak credentials. Well, he'd spend so much time complaining about how he thought the team was wrongly run that until the actual Super Bowl, he didn't enjoy the ride much at all and IMO at least, that ride getting there was as much or more fun than winning the Super Bowl was. Maybe some people simply take sports way more seriously than i do and thus they just can't enjoy even success unless that success is done in a fashion like how they wanted it to be done. FWIW, i've also had some issues with how both Melvin and Attanasio have gone about doing things from year to year, but no way in hell was that going to prevent me from greatly enjoying the two playoffs runs, especially the 96 win season and NLCS ride. That was by far the most fun i had watching a Brewers team since i was a kid in 1982. In fact, i'm a huge Packers fan, more than a Brewers fan, yet i was more nervous and then thrilled during that Game 5 vs Arizona than i was the Packers Super Bowl victory.

its nice a city. there's always something to do here. its very quiet where i live. yeah i probably shouldn't be expecting anything with the brewers. they might sweep the phils or get swept by them. at least we have already beaten them in philly.

another series loss for the brewers. at least the phillies are coming to town. brewers can at least beat up philly. they suck worse than the crew. jeez man i can't believe how bad its gotten since 2011. such a bad aura surrounding the team.

yes i do. moved from milwaukee last august

so far so good for thornburg

great throw gomez

thornburg in the game

attendence is getting smaller. i heard a let's go oakland chant. how low the brewers have fallen. a's fans can be heard cheering just as loudly as brewer fans at the park. a's dont have fans lol

it went from tie game to still in it game to getting blown out game in a span of 5 minutes

well that turned to crap pretty quick

at least he made it to the 7th inning

dumbest team in baseball by a landslide. why would you send the pitcher on a play like that? i'll be glad when that moron RRR gets canned. im tired of watching this team give away outs on the basepaths

moronic isn't it? RRR plays Weeks when Weeks clearly needs to be benched. now that the guy is doing something he gets benched. RRR doesn't make a lot of sense. Made a change for you...lol lol that's better.

a look at the future. they should keep thornburg on the major league roster. he can't possibly do worse than the idiots in the rotation at the moment.

ironic isn't it? RRR plays Weeks when Weeks clearly needs to be benched. now that the guy is doing something he gets benched. RRR doesn't make a lot of sense.

hopefully the top 4 have a good day. the rest of that lineup is weak. is this game blacked out? i dont see it listed on the guide

The thread started as a hypothetical, so I'm not speculating on any trade at all. I'm saying he's the most valuable trading chip, and if we are in a rebuild, then it's okay to rebuild. He seems happy and content now. It's a team friendly-ish contract (we haven't seen his decline phase, so we don't know how he will age). That he's the face of the franchise has some value, though there was a day when he wasn't, and there will be a day when he isn't, so it's okay to imagine a time when he's not the face, and to be proactive about it. I think being the face of the franchise only has real value when they're winning. Who goes to Mets games just to watch David Wright? I don't want to dump Braun for a quantity of dreck, but if the Cards offered Shelby Miller, Oscar Tavares and Allen Craig, then what? If the Rangers offered Jurickson Profar, Derek Holland and Mike Olt, then what? I think it's necessary to include him in trade talks if they're going to break it down and rebuild. I don't think they have enough quality in other areas (Hart, Lohse, Ramirez, Weeks, Aoki) to get quality and quantity in return. Fun hypothetical but highly unlikely. A haul of Miller, Tavares, and Craig would be incredible. No one on the team should be untouchable. Braun is no longer a young player. If the Brewers can get an epic return, it should be considered. I think if someone had offered the Cardinals a great deal they would have traded Pujols.

come on brewers!!!! let's go brewers...clap...clap..clap

wow this is nice. thank you segura. they're showing signs of life.

I'm sorry but do your really believe this? Playing bad baseball does not mean that they aren't trying to win games. I don't want to, but I'm starting to. Maybe it's just the overall negative feeling about the team, but I just look at the body language of the players and they don't look interested. The pitchers are just there serving up meatballs. The hitters are swinging at a lot of junk. I don't know man, maybe I just forget what bad baseball looks like. We have had good teams for a few years now. I might have forgotten what it was like during the Ben Sheets days. I love watching Braun, Segura, Aoki, and Gomez play. Those four are the only ones that look like they are trying hard.

well this is fun. you find a way to get excited for the game and they get scored on in the 1st inning. sometimes i wonder why i bother watching this team. they don't give a crap about playing well for the fans. every night they just go out and give minimal effort. i love my brewers but they are difficult to watch. it's like a disease that i can't get rid of.
