9/16/08 Brewers (Sabathia) at Cubs (Dempster): 7:05 PM CDT

I think we should stop with the negative waves, man.

 

Well, there are nine players in blue shirts and hats who have a chance to stop the waves. None of them have done much to help.

 

That's not our fault, though I do understand your sentiment. It's just not that easy at this point.

[ELCABALLO45]

Haha

 

Dead center wind blowing out that is a tough catch, he is one of the best defensive CF in the game.

You sure like Cameron, don't you elcaballo? Not saying there's anything wrong with that (I think he's one of the best defensive CF too), but you are usually the first person to come to his defense. And I agree, it was a tough catch.

I do like him, I just can't stand when people rip on him. He has been soooo good for the Brewers this year and when people nit pik him it gets frustarting.

I don't dislike Cameron, I just believe he's overrated. Yes, the flyball was tough to catch, but it hit off his glove and IMO he should've had it. As far as being "soooo good for the Brewers this year", I'm assuming your talking about his awesome .246 average and the fact that he is 11th in the league in strikeouts despite having nearly 100 less at bats than everyone else and missing the first 25 games. Just my opinion, not trying to start anything. LET'S GO BREWERS!!!

If you JUST look at average, then yes cameron really is not that good.

 

However, you cant look at just average when figure out how good a player is.

 

He has a OPS of .840. That has him ranked 4th in the NL of CFers. Only behind McClouth,Beltran and Ankiel. Then you add on his great defense and thats why he is so good.

 

But yeah, lets stop arguing.

 

PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS CC.!!

[JrDave2304]

We need more at-bat's like Theriot's right there.

[iluvlamp]

Cubbies are going to oppo field us to death.

 

Bruce...I hear ya. It's early and then a Lee gets a hit.

 

/still hoping!!!

[wibadgers23]

Theriot and Reed Johnson are easily the most annoying players on that team for me.

[ELCABALLO45]

This is getting beyond sad.

[iluvlamp]

Screwed.

[pebadger]

I was kinda surprised no Brewers were on that double play list, but then I realized that the Brewers don't consistently have enough runners on to make that list.

 

Gotta only give up 1 here. If the CUbs get to 3-0 I just don't see it happening for the Crew tonight.

 

And there it is.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I should have known better than to think anything would get better.

 

It's like watching a college team trying to take down the American League All-Stars.

[bucksman4]

Cubs are going to win the World Series. Put me on record now. They're too good not to.

[dlk9s]

Ok, time for dinner. Promise me two things:

 

a) No Brewer will swing at any more sliders.

b) We will have the lead when I come back to the computer.

BF.net has failed me.

[derflotr]

Man, and I thought they'd already hit rock bottom.

More than Zambrano? Cmon

[JrDave2304]

Why do they show the Astros score? I know they're still in it, but I'm more concerned with those 2 NL East teams right now.

[ELCABALLO45]

They have a good team. They can win it, but the AL will have something to say about it as well.

[B2k1121]

I'm beginning to think the Brewers won't win again this year.

[crewcrazy]

6 K's in 2 2/3 innings. Ha. Yost must be laughing from his couch. Lot has changed under the Sveum/Yount regime huh?

Was a lot supposed to change? These are the same players that Yost had, and virtually the same coaching staff. The firing was just an aesthetic change.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Two things-

 

1) Theriot is so the new Eckstein.

 

2) Wasn't this supposed to be the fun part of the season?

[trwi7]

BF.net has failed me.

The Brewers failed you. We just watched in horror.

[giffted1]

This is unbelievable. Maybe we need to consult a witch doctor to remove the hex on the crew. It's about the only option we have right now.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I know they're still in it, but I'm more concerned with those 2 NL East teams right now.

 

I'd be more concerned with the Brewers if I were you. After all, if they keep playing like this, it won't matter who wins the other games or what everyone else's records are.

[trwi7]

This is unbelievable. Maybe we need to consult a witch doctor to remove the hex on the crew. It's about the only option we have right now.

 

I wouldn't mind if they all played with tiny heads for a few games like that guy in the commercial. At the very least it would be entertaining to watch.

[dlk9s]

Granted, I'm not watching the game, but the scary thing is that it doesn't seem like CC has pitched badly.

[bucksman4]

crewcrazy...if it's just an aesthetic change, then why do it? It's like putting lipstick on a pig. Sveum, of course, is the lipstick.
