Hey Gag-me is back

[bucks2281]

There's the Eric Gagne I know!

[Mr QL]

Gagne sucks again

 

10 million well spent

[pebadger]

I'm tired of "the Reds are playing good baseball" schtik.

 

They just got thier behinds beat in Chicago. Man up and get it done, Crew. If you want to be in the playoffs, Crew, it doesn't matter if the other guys are good. You have to be better, and right now you aren't.

[Brewcrewin07]

Well, now down 6 games in the division=Over. 1 1/2 in the Wild card = playing catch up again.. Way to get it done at home Brewers. Let's just hope like you know what that they don't go in the tank coming out of the all star break.

[bbaehman]

3 early and 3 late and down goes Milwaukee

[dlk9s]

Well, this game got that much tougher to win. Good thing CC's going tomorrow.

So did the division as well.

This team clearly does not have what it takes to compete in the NL Central. Melvin better figure what changes need to be made, and act quickly or the Sabathia acquisition will merely go down as a footnote in Brewers' history.

[crewcrazy]

Nothing -- NOTHING! -- seems to go right in these series against the Reds. Whether it's Josh Fogg outdueling Manny Parra or Dunn launching homers into the Dew Deck or Javier Valentin hitting walkoff singles. I don't think there's a team I hate seeing the Brewers play more.

 

Hopefully CC shuts them down tomorrow.

[Brewcrewin07]

As Brewer fans we should've seen this coming. The easiest 10 game home stretch on paper all year and the best they can do is 6-4. How awesome, they are playing down to the competition again. See: Usbaldo Jimenez, Josh Fogg and Glendon Rusch. No excuse not to be 8-2 on this home stand. That's what good teams do. I think the CC trade has made them complacent. Ahhhh, we have CC now, just show up and we will win every night.

[bbaehman]

Don't look now, but here come the Mets as well

[TauPentaRei]

...and act quickly or the Sabathia acquisition will merely go down as a footnote in Brewers' history.

I wonder what we can get for CC at the trade deadline?

We will be fine.

[pebadger]

If he doesn't we get to stew on probably being a full 7 GB all the way until Friday. And then the Brewers get to hit the road with a nice trip and then close the month with some very high leverage series.

[bucks2281]

I'm really not concerned about how GB we are in the division. I'm focused on the Wild Card. I think trying to win the division is a pipe dream.

[Mr QL]

and now brewers comedy hour

 

Gagne was just the appetizer to main course of Mota.

[RU Rah Rah]

Goodness. What in the world happened to this team this week? (Besides Mota and Gagne, I mean.)

[crewcrazy]

Since HGH is technically undetectable by MLB right now, we could theoretically pitch in a few bucks each to send a shipment Gagne's way, right? One last cycle and maybe he'll go from "horrible" to "mediocre".

[Mr QL]

stick those hands in your armpits Yost, you dolt

[paulmolitor4]

Too bad we can't pull Mota now in favor of Turnbow.

[bbaehman]

When the GM says, "we're going for it", the Manager better know he can't use guys late in games who can't produce. Don't tell me they should keep Mota and Gagne...DFA just like Turnbow and get someone up here who can get outs....that's going for it.

[SeriesFinale]

I'd be more OK with them messing the sheets in this series if it wasn't the last series before the break and the last homestand for a while

 

Hope we can get it tomorrow; back at 'em

[Mr QL]

it's a joke that Mota is still even on this team

 

if he's here after the allstar break, melvin should be fired

[Gobias Industries]

Mota lowered his ERA!!!

[giffted1]

Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

[logan82]

Way to keep your head on a swivel.
