9/8/08 Reds (Volquez) at Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

[BrewCrewForever]

We really need to go out and re-work this bullpen AGAIN next season.

[brewmann04]

the wheels are falling off the bullpen just plan stinks no excuse for being overworked.Melvin needed to make one final move once he seen this pen implode.

[Mike Felder]

I think I've officially stopped believing at this point. I still have hope, and still want the Brewers to make the postseason, but I've reached the point where it just seems preordained that we're not going to make it. I really hope I'm wrong.

[Bernman23]

This has been the September from hell so far. Not the way I pictured it.

Really? You must have went to your happy place when we've collapsed in seasons past and had 15 straight non-winning seasons.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

This team will be out of the WC lead by the end of the week.

[Ranier]

Ned's going to let Counsell and Kendall bat and we're going to choke away our wild card lead. No doubt in my mind.

 

I am feeling bad too, but who would you bat here instead? There isn't much to choose from on the bench.

[BrewCrewForever]

Ned's going to let Counsell and Kendall bat and we're going to choke away our wild card lead. No doubt in my mind.

Yup probably. Which is dumb, Gamel ripped a double Sunday of course they won't let him take a hack. Ned wouldnt want to hurt hi veterans feelings.

[trwi7]

Cordero has walked 5.2 per 9 innings this year. Chances we swing at the crap he throws in the dirt: 100%

[Fear The Chorizo]

if the Crew can't come back tonight, they are guaranteed a losing homestand that they had 7 games against the Reds and Padres....teams that do that in September don't deserve to make the playoffs, I don't care how much other contenders have been struggling recently.

There are Zero good options out of the bullpen at this point.

[wisconsinfan47]

Paging Mat Gamel...

[wibadgers23]

Cameron K's and Counsell and Kendall pop-up. Game over.

[Thwarted By the Thracians]

I am feeling bad too, but who would you bat here instead? There isn't much to choose from on the bench.

I'm guessing that was supposed to be blue?

 

I can't watch the game, but I hope Torres got booed mightily.

[trwi7]

I am feeling bad too, but who would you bat here instead? There isn't much to choose from on the bench.

Over Kendall and Counsell? Let's see Gamel, Nelson, Salome, Rivera and Kapler to name a few.

[BrewCrewForever]

And of course Counsell hits.

 

4 runs only 6 hits. Offense sucky once again.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

4 runs given up over the 8th and 9th.

 

Great job Torres.

[Sopranos62]

Go Packers...?

[BrewCrewForever]

Over Kendall and Counsell? Let's see Gamel, Nelson, Salome, Rivera and Kapler to name a few.

 

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I hate Jay Bruce

[trwi7]

Maybe Kendall can have his (first?) career multi-homer game.

[Ranier]

I am feeling bad too, but who would you bat here instead? There isn't much to choose from on the bench.

Over Kendall and Counsell? Let's see Gamel, Nelson, Salome, Rivera and Kapler to name a few.

 

I'd give you Kapler, but if you expect rookies to deliver, you're in for a rude awakening....then again what's the difference...I guess might at well go for it.

[Mr QL]

Counsell and Kendall in the 9th, nice Yost. Seriously nice.

 

I hate this team right now.

[senorjerm]

Well at least they ended it with a gritty veteran, Mike Lamb, on deck.

[biedergb]

Apparently nearly being no hit (a perfect game bid no less) didn't wake this team up. Blowing a 3 run lead late in the game, clearly hasn't done the trick...

 

Quick let's dress Carlos V. in a Reds uniform and ask him to yell in the vague direction of our dugout.

[wibadgers23]

Embarrassing.

[bucks2281]

Kendall? Really, Ned?

 

His HR was an aberration. That's what you need now!

 

I'm so done if they blow it this year.
