    I'm not even going to come close to saying this. They are terrible, yes but in 2013 they were 52-69. Don't recall exactly what the record was but they for sure had a top 5 worst record in MLB either at that point or a couple weeks earlier. They managed to finish the season 22-19 and knock themselves down to the 12th pick and give management hope that they could turn it around. Well it worked in April, fell apart the rest of the season and apparently trading Gallardo and trading for Lind were the only changes they felt they needed to make. It's so frustrating being a fan of this team. They're terrified to rebuild. Mark A. seems to prefer vets over younger players but can't afford to get the vets that will actually be worth the money for a little while so basically the best we can hope for is an older team with decent younger guys but no potential stars and hope everything goes right for us and a lot goes wrong for opponents and maybe we can sneak into the playoffs.

    Was thinking the same thing. We never got the good explanation from either Mark or Doug. Maybe they just think we're all sheep and will support the team no matter what.

    Kyle Lohse gave up 6 earned runs tonight and lowered his ERA.

    Just don't tell her that. You might have to get her something else too.

    Literally busted out laughing the second that was hit.

    Turnbow was booed. Axford was booed.

    HAHA! Good job looking in hindsight. Are you saying everything in Brewers history was a a mistake since they have never won a world series? It will suck if he doesn't turn it around, but I still think it was the right move at the time. It would be hindsight if I wasn't against the signing from the beginning.

    I like how Bill and Matt keep bringing up the Giants and their losing streak. Like that's supposed to make the fans be okay with how crappy the Brewers are.

    A .750 OPS player making $8-12 million for the next three years with a ton of off the field baggage doesn't scream bargain to me.

    So glad we gave up a 1st round pick for Lohse. Two years of no playoff appearances and the third year it looks like he's done. Money and assets well spent!

    I feel the same way about Seinfeld. Never watched the show, I would tell people that and they would tell me that I had to watch it because it was so funny. So I went online and looked for what were rated as some of the best episodes and then a few random ones and it wasn't funny at all to me. Now I'm not a professional comedian or anything. The thought of having to write jokes bores me and the thought of having to perform them in front of people terrifies me, plus I'm much funnier when I don't have time to think and I just say what I'm thinking. But yeah, count me in the crowd that doesn't find Seinfeld entertaining, funny or any other positive adjective that could be used to describe that show.

    Did they make it where the club outfield has wait service too? Because the last time I sat there (admittedly it was almost 9 years ago) only the infield had wait service.

    10% of our payroll is spent on a gas can.

    Says a lot about our offense that we're playing the infield in in a 1-1 game in the 4th.

    Who's this idiot yelling? Somebody should punch him in the face.

    Nelson's curveball is ridiculously good. Especially when you consider he just started throwing it.

    Get over it Ron.

    Lohse isn't worth much at all. Short-term rental, expensive, he's 36, and teams may be scared away by his start this year especially because of his age. I'd be thrilled to get a top 100 prospect for him, which I doubt they could get and they would certainly have to eat some salary either way. Gomez, Lucroy, and Peralta are the only guys on our roster with a lot of straight up trade value. Think he meant Lucroy.

    Sorry, I'm not buying this he needs to make money argument. The game is swimming with money. During a rebuild the payroll would be presumably lowered to let's say $70 million. Let's also assume worst case scenario attendance wise of 1.5 million fans per season at an average of $15 per ticket. That's still over $22 million in ticket sales. Add in the $20 million in local TV, the national TV deal, revenue sharing, concessions, merchandise, parking and he would make so much more money during a rebuild than he is now even with the loss of the casual fan. At this point Mark A. is Herb Kohl to me. Doesn't want to rebuild but doesn't spend the money to be a consistent contender. That's fine, he would lose money if he spent $150 million on the payroll but don't expect the fans to continue to be on your side if you keep a respectable team that can maybe sneak into the playoffs if everything goes right while never being bad enough to be in a position to acquire top prospects. They got tired of Kohl always doing that and they'll eventually get tired of Attanasio if he continues to do it.

    Meant to post this earlier but why did MLB Network think it was a good idea to put Chris Russo on their network? That guy just constantly screams about who knows what because you can't understand him because he's screaming. He's like the Abe Simpson "Old Man Yells at Cloud."

    If the season ended today we would have the #1 pick in the 2016 draft!

    It got to a level I couldn't stand last year. It's like people have never seen a dog before when it comes to him. Plus, he's not even a cool breed of dog.
