The Umpire Strikes Back? Playa Haters? The End of An Error?
-
Every year I bemoan the stupidity that is the All Star Game. The undeserving former stars in big markets getting voted in, the risk of injury to valuable players, Chris freakin' Berman, etc. This year takes the cake, however. Omar Infante. Nuff said...
-
WOOOOOF WOOOOOF!
-
One other point of note regarding substitutions - a player substituted for cannot return to the game, even if the team hasn't used all 3 subs.
-
They aren't volunteers, they are members of the US squad and backroom staff. The bibs have FIFA on them because that's who organized the tournament.
-
Heck, I'd fire Macha and hire Speedy Gonzales!

Can we finally knock on the head the notion that soccer is all about goals, to be exciting? End to end stuff, disallowed goals, shots hitting the woodwork, great saves and the knowledge that ONE goal for either team would be enough to end someone's tournament? Hey, I enjoyed the 20 spot we put on the Pirates as much as anyone, but high scoring games are rarely great sports spectacles. I'm not putting up the "sport A is better than sport B" argument, just saying that the reasons to love real football are many, and not focused purely on the final score. What a fantastic result for the US team, and I'm hoping for a result that pits the Germans against Bob's boys. The Krauts are beatable, and it would be great revenge for what happened in 2006.

It would stop him being a butcher in left field, I know that much!
-
I saw the Toolshed - Brooks Kieschnick's - first Brewers game as an outfielder. I saw the cycle by Chad Moeller. I saw Yo's first homer. I saw Ken Macha smile (although it may have been a grimace!).

Diego almost exploded beating out that single. Way to hustle, Jimmy Ballgame. Still don't like you, though...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Theriot. Every. Freaking. Game.

God, I wish they'd do all these fluff interviews in between innings rather when there are actually things to see going on...

Here comes Braun's Garbage Time homer...
-
....or maybe not. Did last night happen - it seems so long ago?
-
Please, Casey, in the name of all that is holy, hit a single here!
-
Without any sort of statistical checking, it seems that Braun has sucked with games on the line this year so far...

Who's the drunk, homeless-looking guy managing the Cubs?
-
Not everyone pre-season was down on Hart. Myself and a few other hardy souls believed he was better than he showed since he started swinging at the low and away stuff every time. On Brewerfan, I find the loudest voices are usually the most negative voices...

I wouldn't have called for his head for attempting to manage. I'm calling for his head for being dead on arrival when it comes to making decisions, any decisions, that will impact the ball game. My point is simple. At home, tied, where's the harm in trying something that, even if it doesn't work, keeps you tied and with the potential final at-bat?
-
I meant the inning after - Carlos tied it up, and later we had first and 3rd with one out. Especially (a) the way we've been lately in the clutch (b) you have a relatively inexperienced catcher throwing © the runner into 2nd can disrupt the return throw. I mean, it needs two throws pretty much right on the money to get the runner at home. If it doesn't work, we are still tied. I guess I just don't see why we wouldn't even attempt it.
-
Was anyone else screaming at the TV when we had the score tied, runners on 1st and 3rd, with one out, for a double steal attempt? Surely you take your chances that the man on 3rd can get home before the throw to 2nd, then home, comes in. Why does Macha never attempt squeezes, double steals or other so-called "trick plays"? What did we have to lose at that point, since the score was tied? I'm fairly sure that if Rickie swings at ball 4 and we go to Soup time, we were losing today, and I'll wager that I'm not alone with that thought. Surely something non-textbook should have been tried, or is Macha that brain-dead?

Texas Rangers vs. Brewers pitching comparison
bigredrobbo replied to NYChez's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The three colors in the Texan flag are red, white and blue. You know how Texans get around flags! -
To need a closer, we have to either not have a 20 run lead, or to not be behind coming into the 9th!

Ned Yost new manager of Kansas City Royals
bigredrobbo replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd take Yost over Macha any day of the week and twice on Sundays. At least the man has passion - I'm not even convinced Macha has a pulse. Give him a fiddle, because I sure as shinola don't see him doing much else during this current swoon...
