Wait, WSSP was talking about how the Brewers should trade Braun? That is the funniest thing I have heard all day. Stuff like that is why I refuse to listen to WSSP anymore. Well, that, and Sparky was talking about how Braun would "hold out" of Spring Training if Prince got a contract extension. That's pretty much why I've given up on WSSP. -
It's not just that he PH'd for Gamel. Hasn't Gamel stated that he sees the ball better against lefties? That was just ridiculous. As far as I'm concerned, the rest of 09 isn't about winning, it's about player development.

I think you're right SF, but that Cubs series was much more extreme. I'll bet the final game of that series was filled with 95% Chicago fans. As far as this series goes, at least I can look back at last year and smile at how we absolutely destroyed the Cardinals playoff chances.

Vargas. I attended one of the recent games against the Pirates, and I used the stopwatch on my phone to record the time he took between pitches. You'd be astounded at how long this guy takes. He routinely took 45 seconds between tosses -- even once it took him 1:13. I'm surprised he hasn't been fined at some point. And yeah, who really didn't see that coming? It baffles me why Corey Patterson was hitting leadoff -- seriously, he's possibly one of the worst players in MLB right now. We didn't deserve to win a game that he led off. Or even started. It's just a sign of things to come between now and October 4. Macha is going to baffle, annoy, and anger us with his personnel decisions during this final month, and tonight is a sign of the ugliness yet to come.

Obligatory Corey Patterson sucks post. I have no problem with Counsell playing, but how can you activate Corey Hart and then elect to play Patterson over him? Btw, I can't wait to see Mat Gamel back in the bigs.
-
Glad to help out. Thanks for everything you do.
-
Remember one year ago tonight when we beat the Cardinals 12-0 at Busch Stadium? I miss those days. That was way more fun.
-
Just terrible, Braun.
-
-Jim Nantz and Billy Packer were pretty bad. -The Monday Night Football team sucks. No Kornheiser this season, but Jon Gruden just seems awkward in the booth. -Kasper and Brenly -The ESPN Sunday Night Football team was pretty godawful, too. Mike Patrick, Joe Theismann, and Paul McGuire was just downright unwatchable.

Hello, rock bottom. Fire Macha.
-
This really makes me appreciate last season much more. I think 75-87 sounds about right.
-
Oasis, too. You can hear hints of it in some of their songs, but for the most part they've lost it too.

Does the new replay rule hurt baseball?

Ed Rapuano is pathetic. That's just as bad as it gets. -
We were outscored by 9 runs, but we won the series. Feels good to win a series in LA. And, of course, winning is the best revenge.
-
Yep. I don't take my hat off for God Bless America because it isn't the national anthem, and it's important to recognize the symbolic difference between the two songs. That's just me, I guess. Good work from Coffey.
-
Look at all those Dodger fans with their hats on during the National Anthem....how classy. If only we were playing in St. Louis... You don't really have to take your hat off for God Bless America. I know I never do. And that performance was really...awkward.
-
Wow, Looper.

Milwaukee Bucks Thread 2008–2009 (part 2)

Schedule was released today. Interesting tidbit: if Bowen signs with the Spurs, there's a good chance he will have to spend part of Christmas in Milwaukee. The Spurs play in Milwaukee on December 26. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif -
Those free burgers were so close you could almost taste them...
-
I think the concept of filler music between pitches, especially while the Brewers bat, is awful, but I'll expand on your list. These are mostly drum beats/instrumentals: "Pork and Beans" by Weezer "Feel like Rain" by Motion City Soundtrack "Ten Minutes" by The Get Up Kids
-
I think everybody can see that Peavy, Halladay, and Sabathia were/are awesome pitchers. And, I agree with trwi7...beating teams to acquire top-tier SP at the deadline just doesn't seem like a healthy plan for 2009 or into the future.

Looks like the Nuggets took Malik Allen off of our hands, too. -
Why is Ken Macha getting a free pass?
bucks2281 replied to Eileen Wright's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was pleased with his bullpen management early in the season, but some of his recent decisions have been head-scratchers. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, for the mean-time, even though his affinity for veterans over young players has been annoying. I couldn't really care less if Ken returns next year. I think somebody else alluded to this, but as long as our GM continues to hire "baseball men" for the managerial job, not much is going to change. The same archaic philosophies and questionable decision-making continues, no matter who has the job. It's a little too early to compare Macha to Ned, IMO. Ken's been on the job since November. Yost presided over three mega, post-ASB meltdowns. I can cut Macha some slack for now, but color me unimpressed. -
I've made my last visit to the ticket window in 2009. Seriously, the pitching on this team is so incredibly awful right now, I just can't bear to watch.

Yovani Gallardo is an asset, and he is critical to the future of the organization. Maybe he can handle the workload he's been given, maybe he can't. The fact of the matter is that he pitched 24 innings, appearing in only 6 games last year, so I think the concern is certainly valid. There are way fewer little league games in a year than games in a MLB season. Not only that, but little leaguers are not valuable, multi-million dollar assets.
