A day off for Ryan seems appropriate today.

[adambr2]

Boy, we suck. There's just really no better way to say it. We suck.

[sdcheezhd]

We suck on the road. Playing fine at home.

[hawing]

Boy, we suck. There's just really no better way to say it. We suck.

Just saw that post, looked back at Gameday, saw the bases loaded and "in play, run(s)"...and was actually slightly relieved when it was "only" a two-RBI single.

[brwrsfan]

Not much more to say. Just surprised it took you thing long to get to that conclusion. We do suck.

 

It's not just one area any. These days most of the starters suck, the bullpen sucks, the hitting is either great or it sucks. Coming into today, they had already lost back to back series against the 2 worst teams in the NL, and are looking to be swept by one of them.

[fondybrewfan]

Well atleast we have a realistic shot of getting a top 10 pick; maybe as high as 6-8.

[markedman5]

Dog days of August are here again.

 

I think the thing that is so depressing about this year is how quickly we went from 96 wins and 2 wins from a world series to this.

 

A few big injuries, the loss of Fielder, terrible bullpen performance, inconistent offense and mediocre starting pitching takes you from the highest of the highs to one of the worst teams in baseball in the blink of an eye.

[adambr2]

Yeah, it's hard to believe that this was a team that almost went to the World Series last year. They've fallen hard and fast, and I don't even think that the loss of Fielder was the main cause. It's just been a disastrous season.

[Jitter Bug]

i'm assuming the brewers will have a good chance of having some top picks in next years draft. Is there any word on potential prospects?

 

8/15 vz rockies--> men on second and third, no outs. two runs scored. not bad not bad. keep it up. keep rogers in plz

[dlk9s]

Bench Ryan Braun = WOAHS solved?

[Jitter Bug]

did rogers just bunt in the fifth

[dlk9s]

did rogers just bunt in the fifth

That's pretty standard for a pitcher with a runner on first.

[jjgott]

It's sad that I was genuinely surprised to see the Brewers ahead in this one.

[Jitter Bug]

That's pretty standard for a pitcher with a runner on first.

 

I was hopeing hat after a double, they'ed let him swing away

[markedman5]

King Felix perfect through 8

[AZBrewCrew]

King Felix perfect through 27 outs.

[markedman5]

23 perfect games in major league history and 3 of then this year.....wow

[BradWI]

Poor Rogers

[jason21nl]

What a joke

[markedman5]

In all my years of watching the brewers I have never seen a bullpen blow this many games.......

[Outlander]

The season is lost but it would have been nice to see Rogers get his first win.

[bullox]

/Shakes fist at Stan Kyles.

[thablingster]

I am legitimately curious as to what the all time record is for team blown saves in a season.

 

This team is kind of like the cat you love and cherish and no matter how many times it bites, scratches, or pukes on your rug every day you keep coming back to feed and pet it.

I think it's more like a Golden Retriever missing a leg. It's friendly, cuddly, and does its best to please you. Just not the greatest retriever.
