9/14/08 Game 2: Brewers (Suppan) at Phillies (Myers): 6:35 PM CDT

This is nothing short of an epic collapse. It's comparable to the Mets' September last year, or our August/September.

Think I saw something similar in 1929.

Well looks like I got 2 hours back to go do something else tonight. 4 runs ought to put this one out of reach. Fun stuff.

Haha you guys sound surprised they're about to lose AGAIN. This team is garbage. No heart whatsoever. Frankly, when I saw we had a 4 game lead on the Phills and were going to their park, I fully expected a sweep. The way we've been hitting, how could we not lose games? This upcoming Cubs series should be the dagger in the Brewers' hearts. Like I said, I would pay 1K to be able to sit and watch this game with Mark Attanasio. I want to see what his thoughts are on this "investment." Heads will be rollin' in the Brew City. Thank God for the Packers.

Even though we're going to be tied in the standings, it feels like we're eliminated after this game.

[bucksman4]

So much for the "controlling your own destiny" thing.

[JrDave2304]

It's at the point where I sit here and can't even think of a response to what I'm watching this team do.

Pretty much sums it up. Ned is insane. No other way to put it.

 

[pebadger]

Where does that leave us here at brewerfan.net?

[GoIrish]

What boggles my mind is the complete absence of leadership on this so-called veteran squad. At some point, you would have thought (hoped) that a few of the guys would have said we need to stop this, NOW. Why hasn't there been a closed-door meeting? Players only. Something, anything to light a fire under this squad?

 

Oh, right, that might undercut Nervous Nedley's "fear not, all is well" mantra. Cause that's working sooooo well.

[Gormans sideburns]

One word for this team the last couple of weeks.... C-H-O-K-E!!! They cannot hit with runners in scoring position. Although I guess you have to get someone on base for them to be in scoring position.

[Josh23fan]

Following this team isn't fun anymore.

[SeriesFinale]

Since I couldn't get a TV feed of tonight's game I tried to stay away and just watch football but I decided to check out the score and I see our Gutless Wonders are getting no-hit by Brett "Wife Beater" Myers and the Soup is lukewarm fishbone tonight.

 

Brewers: Boom....you're outta here.

[trwi7]

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET NO HIT!!!

[Yaz]

But we might get SHUTOUT. :-)

[BrewCrewForever]

This team just looks dead right now. Like they couldn't beat a college or high school team.

[bucks2281]

Ugh

 

I can't stop watching.

[BrewCrewForever]

This series has turned into a beat down.

[pebadger]

How can it be a playoff atmosphere if there is only one playoff worthy team in the park?

 

Honestly, if I was BA or Rock I'd be going nuts right now. I guess they have to hold their tongues or they don't get a ride back to Milwaukee.

[BrewCrewForever]

Suppan is a true waste.

 

Looks like all his September and October pitching is really paying off for us.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

It's the plane crash that you just can't turn away from.

 

No Sheets or CC next year...this is an absolute melt down...the past, present and future are utterly hopeless.

[DWadeMU3]

Who would have thought that 15 days ago we were one of the hottest teams in the majors...now look. YUCK.

 

I'm not even sure what to feel right now. Anger? Frustration? Empathy for the players? Happy because the Packers are playing well?

[trwi7]

$25 million over the next two years for this.

[pebadger]

I'm fully expecting an error fielding this bunt.

[bucks2281]

I keep seeing flashbacks to August/September 2004. At least back then it didn't matter whether we won or lost. This stretch run is going to cripple the franchise for years. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

I keep thinking ... what if they don't fire Yost?
