Saturday is supposed to be Estrada vs. Wainwright. That should be fun. At least our rotation is matching Estrada up against other teams number ones. No sense letting a #5 beat Estrada.

Yuck. Im almost better off saving my money and going on Sunday. Although it would be my luck that Estrada goes and throws a no hitter instead

We are playing pretty blah the last five days.

 

If blah means we'd get swept by the astros at this point, then yes.

What's that line from "the Dark Knight Rises" about how it's the slow knife, the knife that takes its time, the knife that waits years without forgetting , then slips quietly between the bones?

 

That's the Brewers.

 

They might occasionally get your hopes up, but eventually, they screw it up somehow. They may be the first team in the Majors to get to 50 wins, giving their entire fan base the illusion that they could make a run at the World Series. Then something like Marco Estrada happens. No matter how badly he pitches, no matter how many home runs he gives up, no matter how painfully obvious it is to every person that holds the Brewers close to their heart, the only people that don't get it are the two men with the power to make a change, and take him out of the rotation. The slow knife. This goes on while Doug Melvin's inept bench slowly kills us. A bunch so devoid of talent. A collection of has beens and never beens that are warm bodies, nothing more. The Jeff Bianchis, the Lyle Overbays, the Yuni Betancourts, the Elian Herreras. The slow knife. Having 1/25th of our active roster wasted on a guy that may someday do something to help this franchise, but is completely useless now, giving us 15 innings in 86 games in a mop up role only. The slow knife. Slowly our lead slips away as our batters go up there game after game, week after week, hacking away, showing a lack of discipline that is so completely foreign to the other teams in the Majors. The slow knife that we are forced to watch as our lead, and our hopes, slowly slip away.

What really grinds my gears about Gomez this year is that anytime he makes a mistake, he basically has said "that's just who I am" or something to that affect.

 

I realize he's a very good player - but I don't like that attitude - he should be wanting to get better all the time. I see him as thinking "I'm good enough the way I am"
