2007 Vent Thread, Part 6

[Brian the Automator]

I'm beyond venting. I'll be over in apathy.

[SeriesFinale]

I tried the apathetic route and then they would do something that made me wildly frustrated and I realized I can't fake my apathy.

[TheBwaz]

I'm going to vent, then moving to apathy as well.

 

WAKE UP! Somebody wake up. Everything is NOT okay. Yes, sunshines, "we are still in first place" as everybody official Brewer organ will say. Well, guess what, the Cards about to only be 2.5 back and the team has been playing like 2004 since the start of July. There are 6 weeks left; wake up now! If you wait until September it may be too late.

 

There are no more sacred cows.

 

EDIT: To quote Get Fuzzy, I am at a level of crazy bewteen C-Span caller and naked flag waving Tour de France spectator crazy.

[Brian the Automator]

WAKE UP! Somebody wake up.

SHHHHHH! the brewers are trying to sleep.

 

[SeriesFinale]

The Cards only 2.5 back? The Cubs will be .5!

 

The barbarians are at the gate.

All the pitchers in the league that the Brewers face must be juiced. That has to be the reason we basically can't hit anyone.

I want to feast on the bones of David Eckstein.

[crewcrazy]

Stinks that the offense wastes a good start from Dave Bush, but it's looking like Turnbow decided to put the game out of reach anyway. Yikes. Ugly series.

[JohnBriggs12]

If Attanasio had any stones, not only would Ned be coaching third base in Atlanta next year and Chris Capuano's agent would be begging for a contract somewhere, but Doug Melvin will be back in Canada driving a truck on the ice roads.

[pitchleague]

we stink

[jason21nl]

after braun struck out with the basesloaded, the game was over. It was only 1-0 at that time but that pretty much took all the air out of the stadium.

[pretendastronaut]

Sorry for reposting this from the in game thread, but really;

We're 4-11 this month, outscored 112-55.

Assuming the Cubs game finishes where it is now at 12-4, the Cubs are 5-10 this month and have been outscoured 91-74.

Ugh. This was the chance we'd been waiting for against the Cubs, and we're playing way worse than them.

[fondybrewfan]

I hate people that gloat because they predicted this

 

I hate that the Brewers got friggin embarrased

 

I hate that I care so much

[brewmann04]

pathetic disgracefull and yes they get the big BOO BOO FROM ME

Ice Road Truckers is one of the greatest shows on television.

[sheethead]

BOOOOOO!!

[rluzinski]

It has truly been an insane last couple of weeks.

 

I hate people that gloat because they predicted this

 

You have to love internet predictions with nothing actually on the line.

[MNBrew]

The only real way this can suck worse than it does right now is for the losses to keep piling up.

 

I still believe this is a better team than how they're playing. They're just stuck in this rut, and very, very, very badly so. Almost completely demoralizing!

[tomwopat]

?

[bklynbrewcrew]

Is there a team in all of baseball that is worse than the Brewers. This second half tank job has gotten old. Every year under Ned we fall apart in the second half. Fire Ned and give Kremblas the job and see what happens. If that fails hire Bobby Valentine after the season ends. Valentine is just the type of fiery leader that this team needs. Ned is a clown and this team has completely quit on him. Not only has the team played bad baseball but they look like they couldnt care less about it. Please dont let Ned stick around for one more game.

[brewizard]

Yeah. Shockingly bad, really.

[Ennder]

I don't really think the second half thing is as bad as people think it is.

 

In 2003 we played our best ball all year in August. Our second half looked a lot like the first half.

In 2004 we had the big collapse but most of it was regression to the mean. In the first half we played over our heads and then most of the 2nd half collapse was a miserable month of August, in Sept we actualy had a decent run differential but a bad record.

In 2005 we had a better record in the 2nd half than in the 1st half.

In 2006 we were decimated by injuries in the 2nd half.

 

It stinks that we are playing poorly now but I don't think its somehow some mystic second half mojo of Yost at blame.

[RU Rah Rah]

I went to the game today, and it basically felt like a Cards home game. It felt like there were about as many StL fans as Brewer fans (probably not actually the case, but it sort of seemed that way), and they definitely were more vocal.

 

And are the Brewers running a pool to see who can swing at the most first pitches?

[tigerbrew]

The 82 Brewers replaced their manager midseason when they were struggling, and they went on to the postseason and the world series. I think the Brewers should learn from history and replace Ned Yost now.

 

Frank Kremblas has been doing a great managerial job in Huntsville and in Nashville for several years, I think Kremblas should be callup now to be the Brewers interim manager.

[BrewCityUnit]

Seriously, why is Ned Yost STILL our manager? What has he done to deserve it?
