2008 Vent Thread (part 5)

[bklynbrewcrew]

I have a bad feeling that we arent going to turn things around. The offense has completely shut down and every starter not named Sabathia and Sheets are struggling as well. That series in Philly could really be the catalyst to our season completely unraveling.

[PeaveyFury]

So if the Phils sweep today, the WC lead could be down to 3 -- is that right?

 

That's correct.

[brewmann04]

Brewers have had the same problem all season and now almost everyone is realizing that,even the rose color glasses fans.

Yost should give Gamel a shot since hall became a liability.

[ELCABALLO45]

Bill Hall, David Riske, Eric Gagne, Rickie Weeks. Go Away.

[nate82]

Do you have any stats to back that up? I can see maybe a tenth or two tenths of a second tolerance with hand timing. That said, even with that tolerance on the favorable side, Weeks and Braun were only just as fast as Hardy. Being as objective as possible. I see no numbers that back up your claim, but I'd gladly eat my words if you could produce them.

If Hardy is as fast as everyone says he is with these 60 yard dash numbers then it isn't his speed that is the problem it is his lack of hustle going down the line. This hasn't been the first time I have seen JJ I Hardly Hustle do this before. Earlier on the week he did it against the Mets. Ned really needs to bench Hardly when he is not hustling down the line. Rollins got benched for it Hardly should get benched also.

 

I hope Hardly is traded this off season and Escobar replaces him I'm getting tired of Hardly and his no hustle attitude.

The cubs are struggling bad and if we were winning at all lately we could be a game or two back. Instead we get swept by the Mets AND lose 2 of 4, at home no less, to the worst team in the National League. St Louis Philly and now Houston are all sneaking up on us, and losing series in Philly and Chicago could knock us out of the wildcard lead. This is getting pathetic to watch a team that was this good during the season all of a sudden blow it in September (now I know how the Mets fan felt last year). The offense is putrid, the defense is worse than its usual bad, and the pitching is inconsistent at best. Chicago has a very rough schedule left and we dont....they need to get this done!

[jason21nl]

IBTL???

 

maybe I had a premature ibtl.

 

I do think its sad that we could have really gained ground on the cubs but went into a team slump instead. Hope we get this thing turned around soon.

[logan82]

Hall makes an error(as did JJ) and we go down by 5 runs. Riske comes in to throw BP to a team of AAA players( I know not all of them, but many). Kapler ruins a perfect game(by that time I had given up on the Brewers winning). That was the worst game I have been to in a while. The only thing exciting was the possibility of a perfect game and Kapler ruined that. Heck, my son wanted to leave early and he hasn't complained about watching a full game in 3 years. The only small thing to take away from it is Gamel's first career hit(which might be cool if he makes the Hall of Fame or has 3000 hits in his career, but I doubt it). Oh well, turn the page and look forward to tomorrow. Oh yeah, and it was pretty cool to see all our prospects get some at bats. Just wish Gamel would have gotten the start over Hall.

[razzzorsharp]

Phillies lose tonight we will be 4 up in the wildcard. I love that kind of sad.

[trwi7]

Our top prosect sucks if he only gets 300 hits in his career. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Oops, add another zero to that.

[paul253]

Phillies lose tonight we will be 4 up in the wildcard. I love that kind of sad.

Unortunately both the Cardinals and Astros won though, so they both gained a game. Philly has an extremely easy remaining schedule, including 6 games against the Braves and 3 against the Nationals. If we dont at the very least split with them in Philly, we are in trouble. St Louis, not so easy...they still play Chicago 6 times, and Arizona 4 times, but then again we still have to play Chicago 6 times and Philly 4, so its kind of a wash. Its just pathetic seeing the team fail in so many areas, offense, defense, pitching, at the most important time of the season when after a quarter of a century the chances are playoffs are actually real.

[JohnBriggs12]

This current team is starting to remind me of the 1983 team and that's not a good thing. In 83 they were in good position to repeat as AL East champs then just completely stopped hitting for about a 10 game stretch in early to mid September to fall completely out of it. It was if they lost all their offensive energy.

[owbc]

This dropped to page 2?

 

I'm not even sure what to vent about right now. The bullpen has completely come apart.

[DuWayne Steurer]

There are currently exactly zero reliable relievers in the bullpen.

[marquettefan13]

This team really depresses me. Just when I think they have a great shot to make the playoffs they come undone in September. I'm really dreading the series in Philly. This game tonight is one I thought they had but I guess I should have known better with their bullpen difficulties.

[brewmann04]

we are going to be up by 3 and the phillis on the horizon can dee the 27 season being at home for the playoffs.

The Bullpen had just imploded

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I saw 4-1 after 7 innings before I had to go back to my dorm, and then bam, 5-4.

 

This team is in HUGE trouble and the two GM's knew what they were talking about when they said the brewers will falter down the stretch. Hopefully they can right the ship and turn this baby around. I can't imagine how bad of a collaspe this could be.

[burniebrewer]

So much for this big homestand helping us in the race.

[SeriesFinale]

This team isn't making the playoffs; they're gonna choke it away again this year.

 

These are the Padres and the Reds, and we are at home in a playoff chase.

 

I hate this team so much some times.

[SeriesFinale]

AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

 

Augh.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

This team never ceases to amaze at the ability to choke. Oh well, 26 years, 27 years does it really matter anymore?

[Mr QL]

I hope they clean house this offseason

 

melvin, yost, prince

[afeter]

counsell starting. counsell batting in the bottom of the ninth in sept. in a playoff chase, down by one. my computer, remote and furniture are lucky i am packers calm tonight.

[pebadger]

Tonight's game tape would be a good answer to the question of why this oraganization probably trails Badger football and basketball, in addition to the undisputed kings in GB, in terms of fan appreciation in statewide.
