You probably couldn't have picked a better photo for Reyes, Jumpin.

Tip of the keyboard to you.

[JumpinMacFlash]

Thanks hawing, I do what I can to create some good mojo.

[B2k1121]

Well you can chalk this one up as a loss right now after that. I would be surprised if they score a run.

[FielderWeeksHardyBraunHart]

their spirits are probably in shambles, as are mine. u know why we lost? that brian anderson with his "____ retired 6 consecutive" and "the cardinals have scored 3,4,5 unanswered" ...that guy needs to learn how to shut up from time to time.

[Tailgat0r76]

I agree; I get so sick of "he's retired 4 straight now" like it's some sort of big accomplishment

[uwbufu24]

Hopefully they'll come back pissed off and never look back. Hopefully being pissed will lead to some plate discipline. Facing an 0-10 pitcher should help.

He will be 1-10 after tonight

[Lil Dummy]

"Hopefully they'll come back pissed off and never look back."

 

Amen. Let's see them show some stones tonight and gut one out.

[brettac1]

Alright, I'm over the last one.

 

Cappy needs some breaks. They've lost what, the last 11 he's started? The Cardinals have won one game that Reyes has started this season.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i hope ned doesnt throw the forfeit lineup out there for game two...i have a feeling reyes will get his first win of the season.

[bacon06]

At least the Crew doesn't have to sit around for a day before they can get back at it to shake that bad loss. Gotta believe the pitching match up strongly favors Milwaukee and hopefully parlays into a win.

[JumpinMacFlash]

Come on guys, let's bounce back and get this one!

(I added a line in case Cubs fans try and steal it)

[FielderWeeksHardyBraunHart]

with the cubs facing harang and us facing 2 really,really,really,really,etc bad pitchers, we coulda been 4.5 up after today. now we'll be lucky if its 3.5. o well. has anyone started a thread on anderson being a pessimist. seriously, he says the same thing over and over and he basically says non positive things. he also says the most obvious things like, "the brewers havent scored since the 3rd"...well duh, i can see that from the box score. jeez he annoys me.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

so if cappy last only 5 innings tonight we are down to spurling,shouse,wise and linebrink in the pen. cant see ned trotting CV, Turnbow and please ned...no more cordero today.

[futurefan]

I would not mind not seeing Coco until we are back at Miller

[bbaehman]

Right. No Coco until Milwaukee. Throw Turnbow out there tomorrow and Linebrink tonight.

 

This could be the make or break point for the Brewers.

 

1) They show some stones and go on a big run to show who will win the division.

2) They wilt up and fold like an old tent and it's football season.

 

Let's get back on track and get 27 outs tonight!

[TauPentaRei]

Burgleflicker,

 

being in that clubhouse has to royally suck right now. i may choose to truly believe all of this 'even keel yost/cox don't rock the boat stay calm philosophy' bologna sausage if the eye of the tiger comes out tonite and here is why:

 

after the matinee loss, and I'm yost... I am locked in my office smashing drywall and screaming.

 

but no, this club is built around "it's another loss, stay cool, keep your head, go get em the next day." But if you are taught to suppress your emotion after a loss... what happens to your emotion after a win? The emotion roller coaster is too violent and not sustainable over 162 games... but it's time to throw a chair.

 

I am real curious as to who in the clubhouse right now is steaming mad and getting in Cordero's face... anyone? Is that part of the problem?

[wisconsinfan47]

I think we'll hit Reyes pretty well, but I can't help feeling we're going to lose the game.

 

If we do, it will be the worst day of my life.

Agreed, it's not like unanswered runs are exactly the same thing as in basketball or football.

 

And this is a really picky thing that I'm embarrassed to mention, but how about when there's one out or none, nobody on base, say Pujols is on deck, and "Pujols would be up next." No, I'm pretty certain he will be up next unless the world ends while So Taguchi is at the plate.

I sincerely hope no one's getting in the team MVP's face unless he set a personal Jager bomb record last night or this morning. Heat seems to mess with his slider and if they're not chasing it out of the zone on a day like today, it makes his job 3 times as hard. There's still no one else I'd rather have out there.

 

Do you want something doughf? With style? I'm sure he's sorry he's only converted 32 of 36 saves and is only on pace for 50 instead of teasing the all-time record. It sucks that with this team's road problems, he fits right into that. Maybe someone else has another possible contributing factor beside hot humidity. But I guess it happens until we build robot Brewers.

Every announcer says that. You probably just notice it more because it is the announcer you listen to. I bet you'd hear it from all the others as well.

[MoneyballMan]

Great, Cubs up 2-0 already.

[laserbomb]

I'll take your word for that and maybe start to pay closer attention. It's definitely not the biggest deal whether he saves "would" for 2 outs or an out and a man on.

 

I feel bad for Bill sitting up there with Brian's would poking out all the time, but he's a professional and I'm sure he's seen worse and can handle it.
