Its almost comical how bad we are.

 

Last night all I could really do is laugh at how pathetic they were playing. Tonight I'm just really frustrated and kind of don't want to watch anymore but can't quite bring myself to turn off the game.

FILTH

[B2k1121]

The Brewers should pay attention to how the Cubs score here, and then try to do that.

[Brewcrewin07]

He either gets out of it here and they stay alive, or the Cubs score and the Crew gets swept tomorrow. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

That could be it

[trwi7]

Game over.

[bbaehman]

Theriot is killing us...he needs to get one in the ribs

[crewcrazy]

Corey Hart has really, really sucked in right field this series. I'm getting really tired of seeing balls roll past the guy that's supposed to be the fastest player on the team.

[pebadger]

Hart has morphed into a truly poor outfielder. ANgles are awful.

[LUKE232323]

Sweet. Have to avoid a sweep against Harden. Ideal.

[Bruce Ciskie]

And, look, the Hall of Fame game is Sunday. So is Family Night at Lambeau.

 

Go Packers.

[B2k1121]

Wait, so you CAN actually have players cross the plate and score AFTER they get on base? WITHOUT hitting a ball over the wall?

[pebadger]

YOu left off avoiding sweep with Bush on teh mound.

[madjeff66]

Any time Hart wants to take the proper angle on a gapper, he's welcome to do it.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

Hart seems to be nearly as streaky as Geoff but his defense also seems to be streaky.

Or he needs to come back to Earth and be the .271 hitter like he was in teh Minors.

This is truly pathetic.

 

This reminds me of the Red Sox series, except worse. The gap between the Brewers and Cubs is tremendous. They are more talented, period.

My hatred for small, white shortstops continues to grow.

They are more talented, sure. Using this series as some proof that it's a tremendous gap is pretty silly when they are still a few innings away from possibly leading the season series.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I've got some sharp implements if any of you would like to stab Corey. Kapler might not have great July numbers, but it's hard to imagine anyone being worse than Corey Hart is right now. Well, outside of Bill Hall.

[Brewcrewin07]

Nothing, I mean absolutely NOTHING is going right for the Brewers this series. The Cubs are NOT this good. This is their World Series and they are playing like it. Well, it was a fun year for 4 months. As a Brewer fan, that is more then I can say in most season's. Good thing football season is here.

 

Please don't give me the "it's a long season line", you make it sound like this series means nothing, and truth be told, this WAS the Brewers season. They choked, and the downward spiral begins, and if no one else can see that or wants to accept it, then that's up to you, but reality is often a bitter pill.

 

You don't win 7 in a row on the road, then lose (soon to be 6-7 at home) and think it's just a "mirage". It isn't. They are done.

[bucksman4]

What is everyone so worked up about? The Brewers clearly are overmatched by this team. You know the difference between the Brewers and the Cubs??? They don't have 1 player in their lineup hitting under .230. We have 3 on most nights (save Rickie Weeks today). Their OBP kills us and their pitching (bullpen and starters) is far superior. How could someone say we have the better team?

[B2k1121]

I love how people laughed at the thought that the Brewers can't handle pressure, it happened last year, and it's happening this year, it's not laughable, it's the truth.

[sargennm]

This series pretty much sums up my existence as a Brewers fan: So disappointing.

[bbaehman]

This might be one of the toughest series for the fans in recent memory. All the expectations....and the Crew lays an egg
