ouch! Time to turn it around boys

I know it hasn't mattered much lately, but I kind of like this matchup. Vic has looked good lately. Good signs with Jenks and Carlos swinging the bat yesterday, hopefully they'll keep it going.

SlideBernieSlide · April 22, 2005

It's Victor The Vampire's first night start this season. This has to be a sure sign of the streak stopping.

I remember watching Kirk Rueter pitch at County Stadium a back in 1998. It was during the Brewers annual Spring Madness promotion (half priced tickets along with dollar dogs and soda...great deal). So a buddy and I drove about 4 1/2 hours from our small Indiana college to Milwaukee for the game. Rueter picthed a gem. But thankfully Scottie Karl was able to keep the game close. Trailing 2-0 going into the 7th, the Crew rallied for runs in the 7th and 8th. Eventually sending the game into extra innings. Thanks to a clutch hit from current SF Giant Marquis Grissom (I think?) in the 12th to score Bobby Hughes, the Crew won 3-2 and completed a 3 game sweep of the Giants.

It really tugs at my heart strings to see Baroid go 1-6 and get pulled in a double switchhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Seeing Cirillo in that lineup is kinda... weird. It feels like a ghost from baseball past...

Darrin Jackson's 649 OPS from '98... *shudder*

Kraft4a3 · April 22, 2005

You know what, somethings gotta change. And I am starting with the man in the mirror. I keep blaming Wes Helms or Ned Yost.

The buck stops here. I am going to change it up. Instead of drinking a beer on the couch I am going to drink at least 3 in a bar tonight. Cheap beer, not the good stuff.

I think we all need to stop blaming Les Helms and pitch in and do what we can for the team. It starts with me. I can't keep doing the same thing and making the same mistakes. I gotta do something to help break the streak before it gets out of hand. Whose with me?

If anyone wants to help me stop this losing streak you can come to Murphy's by Marquette and buy me a beer. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

Come on people be a part of the solution not the problem. It is time to unite and stop this thing. If it is not buying me a beer, its gotta be something.

What are you going to do to break the streak?

I'll be at Caffs most likely, seeing as I live in Ardmore...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Kraft4a3 · April 22, 2005

Caff's will work. I am going to the Basketball Coaches Clinic at the Al Center. Ends at 10:00 but if someone gets boring we can always duck out early.

don1481 · April 22, 2005

Kraft, what year are you at Marquette...?

davego · April 22, 2005

Wow, that '98 lineup is a lot better than what we run out there now.

CovingtonFan · April 22, 2005

If Cirillo's in the lineup tonight, maybe you should buy HIM a beer. That guy really needs to lighten up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

Kraft4a3 · April 22, 2005

Ha! Pay that much money to become a teacher. No way. I went to uwgb (really didn't pay there either).

Seriously, my wife is finishing up her last year of dental school. We live up by the Ambassador hotel. I don't visit the college bars too much anymore for the simple reason I don't want to be that creepy 26 year old who can't let college go.

In fact I don't frequent too many bars outside of Leff's on Tuesdays.

Well Don, if I happen to bump into you at Caff's I will make sure to wear my retro-brewers hat. Don't be afraid to stop and say hi, and no you don't have to buy me a beer. You need to save up that money so Marq can take it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

*blink*

Jaha had like a .208 average that year and was hurt almost the whole time...a Helmsian .709 OPS.

Matheny is an offensive black hole.

Grissom is a worthless piece of trash. At least he was in Milwaukee.

The others I'd take, especially Vina and Loretta.

Cool.

I generally stay at Caffs because 1. I live upstairs (can we say "convenient" when I have to take a grand total of 3 steps outdoors?) and 2. The other campus bars are TERRIBLE.

Murphs = oversmoked dump.

Hegs = complete trashpit.

Angelos = "Hi, I'm a freshman. We're only here because they don't card."

Plus... Caffs has that patio for when it's nice out. It's really sweethttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

spadepunk13 · April 22, 2005

Hey at least Santos isn't giving us another reason to be mad at the brewers. Think we could have said that before the season started? Then again, it is early, and I probably just jinxed us. I suck.

Don't worry... what's another loss...? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Rueter is precisely the pitcher that kills the Brewers - a soft tossing lefty.

Actually, the type of pitcher that kills the Brewers stands 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate.

SlideBernieSlide · April 22, 2005

I hate to pull such a drastic measure so early in the season, but with a week of loses and a soft tossing lefty on the mound, we gotta pull out all the stops....

don1481 · April 22, 2005

And now I'm hungry...

I think Im' gonna go to Webbs

6 for 5 at least is something good to come out of the awful showing yesterday...

You do have a point there.

Any other Bay Area brewerfans here? I'll be going to the game tonight. I'll be the obnoxious one in the '82 retro away cap in LB 103.

And for the guys watching on tv, don't get excited, it's not deer season yet, it's orange cap night for the Giants.

SenatorShriv · April 22, 2005

SBS...

I admire your courage. Drastic times call for drastic measures. May the sacred cheese and pickle sandwich gods smile down on us tonight.

Getpaddled · April 22, 2005

what we need to do is have a big house party at my house. watch the game and buy a few kegs of the good stuff, sit back, enjoy the game and chew some hardcore fat. o ya, and watch the crew win
