2010-05-18 Brewers (Parra) at Reds (Bailey), 11:35 AM CDT [Brewers, Hoffman lose 5-4]

[panthernick]

I am done with this team until Hoffman is done closing. This is utterly ridiculous. Every game is a waste of my time.

[brewmann04]

I wonder how close we can get to 90 losses this season man this streak is testing the fan base here.

[bucksman4]

How ironic that the pressure of pitching Hoffman to allow him to achieve the 600th save might end up ruining this team this season. Achieving a statistic is much more important than winning games I guess.

 

Hate to say it but this team deserves to lose 10 plus games in a row because of the stupidity of management. Good days work Trevor.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Hoffman needs to retire, and we need to blow up this staff.

[sheethead]

He didn't even get one out. He must have not been locating. I can't wait to watch the latest installment of, "Why am I still pitching?" on my DVR tonight. Pathetic.

[brewmann04]

Fed up with Trevor ship him back to SD for a bucket of Balls,Best Move Melvin made was giving him a one year Contract.

[brains and braun]

Well at least Manny and Estrada pitched well...

[YoGasKpose]

What a terrible, terrible game. Something needs to happen with this team. I am so tired of the relaxed Kenny Macha, "This stuff happens, just keep playing" stuff. Our players are not performing and no one seems to care.

 

It's clear that this team needs a new direction of some sort.

[sheethead]

Every game is a waste of my time.

 

Exactly. Why waste time watching a good game when there is a coin flips chance the "closer" is going to throw the game away at the end. Its a giant waste of time.

[brewmann04]

Yes another wasted effort by the back end of the Bullpen what a disaster maybe use the new brewer plane to ship some of the dead wood outa here.

[davemakovec]

f you're looking for a low-leverage save, this is it. You're facing 8-PH-1 in the bottom of the ninth with a cushion, and there aren't any real Brewer-killers on the bench, although Heisey seems to be getting there.

Sorry guys (and gals). It looks like I jinxed it.

[tigerbrew]

It's now 4am here, I wasted my sleeptime to watch Hoffman blow it again. Now I'm too pissed to sleep, damn you Hoffman.

[bucksman4]

Anyone heard an interview from Melvin lately? I wonder what he has to say about this miserable play.

 

Better yet, I'd like to see quotes from Attanasio. He's seeing 0 return on his investment and we know he wants to win as bad as we all do.

[RobDeer 45]

Ship out the old guys and let the young guys play!

[Gobias Industries]

I got busy at work so I paused the game during the top of ninth. Afterwards, I fast forwarded in the slowest setting and got to watch this unravel. At this point, I can't help but laugh.

[hawing]

In a vacuum, you were right about it being a lower-leverage save. In the context of the losing streak, maybe not so much. Anyway, it doesn't look like anyone here is hanging the loss on you, dave.

[Bikeage77]

This is to the point that it's comical. Does George Webbs still give out free burgers for 12 straight?

[cnycerveceros]

I can seriously not believe this. Just 10 minutes ago I heard they were up 4-2. It's some sort of cruel joke.

[afeter]

Tee-Off

[hawing]

This is to the point that it's comical. Does George Webbs still give out free burgers for 12 straight?

I fear that in a few days we'll all be required to buy extra food from George Webb.

[SeriesFinale]

What a waste these last two seasons have been.

[davemakovec]

I fear that in a few days we'll all be required to buy extra food from George Webb.

One burger for the price of six.

[And That]

Better yet, I'd like to see quotes from Attanasio. He's seeing 0 return on his investment

That's not true. He bought the team for about $223 mil and now according to Forbes it is worth $351 mil.

[NievesNoNO]

Ship out the old guys and let the young guys play!

 

Cheers to that. Really they couldn't be any worse.

[trwi7]

We are now tied with the Royals.
