4/15/08 Brewers (Bush) at Cardinals (Looper): 7:15 PM CDT

[TooLiveBrew]

So, hopefully Shouse is being removed?

[crewcrazy]

J.J. Hardy -- turning outs into inning-prolonging errors.

[chadomac]

Shouse! Shouse! Without a doubt! Three pitches later he's struck you out! Come on... I'm pitching to you. Come on.

[Trowekamp]

Shouse once again showing his value. We don't mention it but another good trade by Melvin.

[Trowekamp]

Hopefully they bring in a Lefty so Braun can PH for Gross

[Blancofan1]

brians house makes me so happy sometimes

[tristarscoop]

I sometimes feel like I'd be ok with us being a crappy team because then there would be no expectations. It's this tearing down of the hope that is so heart-wrenching.

So you prefer watching Bucks games instead of Brewers games this year? that is just silly .

Valid point. I hate the NBA, but I get what you're saying. But man, having so much faith makes each of these games so heart-breaking. It's hard to remember it's a long season when you're in the middle of these games.

I hear you.. it is harder now that I have MLB Season ticket and actually get to watch the games.. especially tough after football season when you are used to pulling out all stops to win that one game where here you have to remember they have to worry about August / September when it comes to using a bullpen and bench.

 

What works for me is to close my eyes and remember when Wayne Franklin and Matt Kinney were our number 3 and 4 starters and all of a sudden Dave Bush looks like Greg Maddux out there.

where the OFFENSE Tonight

 

There is no way they should only score one run against this team.

[tigerbrew]

Ugh, Gross should've taken one for the team instead of moving his feet out of the way of that poor pitch.

[Blancofan1]

come on billy, please show something productive here, please

[davemakovec]

Six walks and only one has come around to score...

 

Think Billy hits into another double play?

 

Edit: backwards K. Awesome.

[Paulus88]

The cards are absolutely completely not afraid of Bill Hall... I hope he makes them pay

[Fear The Chorizo]

Fielder getting four walks = nobody hitting in front of him or behind him...that homerless streak is gonna keep on growing

 

Time for Bill Hall to stop batting 5th, and gross to stop batting 2nd

[twobrewers]

At this point, Gross should jump in front of the plate.

[chadomac]

you're the worst, bill.

Plus, we've all been just waiting for this season to start. That's a lot of buildup.

 

[Trowekamp]

Hall time to check out the 6th spot for awhile.

[trwi7]

Hall is showing kids how to recognize patterns. GIDP, K, GIDP, K.

[Fear The Chorizo]

take another strike billy

[Roscoe Chill]

People who wonder where the offense is, should wonder why on April 15th, Ryan Braun needed a mental break...after a day off mind you. Ned Yost is a reach.

[tristarscoop]

Even Ned can't ignore Bill going GIDP, K, GIDP, K while Corey's like 7-for-10, right?

[TooLiveBrew]

And that Hart is perfectly suited to bat 5th, where Hall fits best 6th regardless of early results.

[Trowekamp]

Ok.. that is really reaching to find something to rip Ned on.. the guy who replaced him is 1-3 with a walk and should be 2-3 if not for a great play last inning. If anything we should be praising Ned for putting Dillon in. Maybe suggesting he should be playing third tonight instead of left which is valid in hindsight.
