So I get home late tonight from a day on the road, make myself something to eat, sit down, turn on this debacle and and now I can't find my fork.

check the TV, someone stuck it into the Brewers...

Estrada isn't exactly looking like he wants to block any balls, does he? I think some of these lazy need a night off

[BadgerFan]

We have serious problems that go beyond a couple of guys breaking out of slumps. Gallardo and Villanueva are worn out. Vargas and Wise have lost whatever good things they had earlier in the season. Capuano can't get through 5 innings and Suppan has been a bust. Outside of Fielder and Braun, no one else produces consistently on offense. And our overall team defense is atrocious.

 

Honestly, when I think of the way this team has been playing over the past two months it seems like a miracle they are even over .500, yet at the same time there is WAY too much talent on the field not to win at least 85 games. We might have the MVP, ROY, "Rolaids Relief Man of the Year" and a total of 5 guys with at least 20 HR's each. How in the hell can this team not make the playoffs in this joke of a division???

 

Ugh. Being a Brewers fan is pure torture.

[bbaehman]

Here is a tough question....do the Brewers finish over .500?

[bbaehman]

This style of baseball is pathetic. I have been a big supporter of Ned, but something has to give. Plus, I can now see why Arizona was happy to part ways with Estada. His effort is lacking and he and Mike Maddux are not fooling anyone especially the second and third time through the lineup. St. Louis is going to repeat as Central champs. Book it and it makes me puke.

[bbaehman]

PLAY JOE DILLON!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jlau20]

I would fire Ned just to change something. I mean something has to change. Ned hasn't done a terrible job, but it hasn't been spectacular either. Just mix something up, this is getting difficult to stomach.

[bucksman4]

If Joe Dillon is not in the lineup tomorrow, I'm going to go nuts!!! (vent thread awaits me).

[bbaehman]

Prince might need a couple of days off

Here's a headline from Madison:

• Officials Increase Security To Deter Monona Terrace Jumpers

  Monona Terrace officials said they are stepping up security to crack down on teenagers who have been jumping into the lake from the terrace.

I think they're assuming they're thrill-seekers. I'm guessing they're Brewer Fans

[jlau20]

So...Shouse in for the 9th when we are down 5, when he has been are most reliable reliever as of late (last appearance not so great, but still better than most).

 

Hope we don't need him tomorrow.

J. Conine homered to deep left center, A. Dunn and K. Griffey Jr. scored

 

CIN 6, CHI 3

[brewers19]

And now they taunt us by showing signs of life.

With the way these two are playing, STL has to love their postition. 83 wins the Central, again?

 

 

[TeeJayh1980]

Just imagine if Tony La Rusa was our coach...I wonder how many more wins we would have.

[bbaehman]

This sucks

[JET15]

Santos just walked in a run for CHI... doesn't he know it's a night game?

[bbaehman]

Cubs tie game 6-6 in 3rd

[brewers19]

That was a fairly disappointing game. Oh well, let's hope tomorrow is better.

[SlideBernieSlide]

I'd love to have a win like the Cardinals had today. Get up early. Keep adding on. The end result was never really in question. When was the last time Milwaukee had a game like that? The day game blowout at home against AZ

[EinhornIsFinkle]

The only bright side is that if we finish under 500 Ned is likely gone and I say our chances of finishing above 500 are even at best.

[JET15]

I want to see Miller & Dillon (2B) in the lineup tomorrow

[TeeJayh1980]

I want to see Miller & Dillon (2B) in the lineup tomorrow

Me too. I wish Millers body could handle playing the rest of the season. I'd rather have him calling the games.

 

[bbaehman]

If Dillon doesn't play tomorrow, then something is really wrong
