I thought you were done watching?

 

I thought you were done reading my posts?

 

I mean, I know we don't have an ignore button on Yuku, but it's really not that hard. If you see my name, skip to the next post.

 

Either that, or stop complaining. It's kind of like how you shouldn't complain about who the President is if you choose not to vote in the election.

 

I'm here on the Brewer board, but it feels as if I'm lurking on NSBB. Is it not enough to have to watch poor play by the Brewers, that people also have to come here and listen to your pointless babble? You complain over and over, swear off the Brewers, say you're done watching, but yet here you are still watching. Some people are here trying to enjoy the simple fact that the Brewers have returned to the playoffs after 26 years.

Ugh. What a disappointing season.

Funny thing, I was a little disappointed yesterday when I turned on the game and I heard Brian Anderson's voice. Now, I'm glad he's doing the games. For some strange reason, I feel better knowing there is someone in the booth that feels as bad as I do. Although he has to hide his disappointment. He's done a very good job these two games.

Gagne's looking filthy right now.

[Bruce Ciskie]

It just gets annoying when people declare they are done with the team but keep coming back to the game threads to vent.

 

I actually thought it was a good idea for me to flip to the football game for a little while. A cooldown period was warranted.

 

I've gone from "anger" to "acceptance". It's easier to just walk away sometimes. Keeps things from being flung at the TV I haven't paid off yet. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Hey...let's get some runs and steal this one late!

[Bruce Ciskie]

Gagne's looking filthy right now.

 

Um, yeah. That was very impressive. I wish it had come under more favorable circumstances.

[kiwi brewer]

Well done, Gagne.

 

Let's get some runs... without playing an Eddie Vedder song at this point in the game! That would be neat.

[cnycerveceros]

BrewBomber, did you just compare some of us to Cubs fans? That's pretty low. : ) But seriously, I'm torn on the booing/negativity issue. I'm a pretty negative person, but at the same time it is just a game. Still, being positive just to be positive, if you do that then why do you even watch the team. Just go be happy. So, if the team I'm investing my time in plays poorly, I can understand the desire to boo.

[BrewBomber]

Sure there is. Under the poster's name, there is an 'interact' dropdown menu, with an option to select 'ignore'

Thank you!!!! I did not see that. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I feel bad for BA having to do these games, no matter the circumstances. I'm sure its easy to hide his disappointment, but what if the Brewers were to come back and win this game (pause for laughter), he would have to hide his excitement. That I'm sure would not be as easy.

[1992casey]

Stop the bickering.

[dlk9s]

I believe that's simply hair on his face.

Some people are here trying to enjoy the simple fact that the Brewers have returned to the playoffs after 26 years.

 

Everybody is enjoying the fact that the Brewers have made the playoffs. But I don't think it's unreasonable for people to be kind of PO'ed when they have two hits in this game, and three runs in this entire series, considering the promise of the first inning.

As a fellow Brewers fan, I agree with BrewBomber. Posters who say "see you in March" may as well step away until March.

 

As a moderator, I ask that you both refrain from these comments.

[brewerjamie15]

If we wanna see a game 4 there's gonna have to be a massive change here come Saturday. Philly has pitched well I admit, but c'mon now! Stop beating yourselves Brewers!

As a broadcaster, I've kind of been in this type of spot before. I gotta think it's one of the tougher assignments anyone in this business can have.

 

I'm sure TBS wanted him to do these games because of his knowledge of the Brewers (it's a nice balance to the "none" that Simpson and Smoltz seem to have), but it requires him to forget about the last six months of his life. MUCH easier said than done, and I have a ton more respect for him than I had before yesterday's game started.

 

(And I've been pretty staunchly pro-Brian since he got the job.)

It's more about him swearing off the Brewers and saying he was done watching.

[moofnelson]

Man, Cameron has had a really bad series so far. Both offensively and defensively.

[brewerjamie15]

Thank God the wind brought that Cameron ball back into play. I'd hate to see our offense have another chance to get a hit.

There's another good sign. Unless Milwaukee gets a freak heat wave, this won't be a problem on Saturday. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

What's wrong with a little hyperbole now and then? We all use it to get our points across. I don't think Bruce is literally saying he's done watching the team. It's just a way of expressing his frustration.

[BrewBomber]

How awesome would a Braun Bomb be here?

[naivin]

C'mon Ryan, get on base.

[iluvlamp]

I thought today would be better. Hey Braun, a homer please?
