bob- plain and simple - the brewers biggest problem is that bullpen-we should not have to beven talking about trying to win a 4 game series this weekend against the padres

i hear ya . when he couldnt get ball 4 even remotly close to the the plate i exploded. the bullpen is a joke, they need to not just tweak but clean major house in the craphole called a bullpen

Can't argue with that.
I guess being able to have this kind of conversation at all in late September is a nice change, but it still doesn't help that much

yes i agree it is good to at least be in the race instead of twiddling our thumbs like the last 15 years- but it gets frustrating. i can understand a pitcher or two stinking it upout there in the bullpen. buts its the whole bullpen-none of them can pitch- yost can't rely on nobody-not one single pitcher to be consistent

My opinion of the bleachers is off and on. I absolutely love it but I can't stand some of the people that it attracts. If it is a rival series, you better bring your fighting gloves because every verbal disagreement turns into blows now. The last game I went to in the Bleachers was the Mets game and all the Met fans were going "Jo-say" like a hundred times so all the Cubs fans started "Whose Gay" a hundred times and then fistacuffs broke out. My dad is friends with an orginial bleacher bum, and I have talked with him many of times about that era and he said while people were still getting hammered like crazy, many good baseball conversations went on, and arguments about what coaches should do. None of that happens today, it is about the whore showing her tits and the girl in the cowboy hat, or the dude that is about to fall over.

love when i go to wrigley and down a fw old styles. grew up on that stuff. brewed in la crosse wi-well used to be

The bullpen has been horrible other than Cordero, but I do agree it is September and the brewers are in the conversation. It is a nice change. Usually by July, I am counting the days to the Packers pre-season schedule.
Ned has mismanaged a lot of things this year, Turnblow has been god awful most of the time.

lol nothing against your team its that whack job you got coaching it. he may be a very intelligent at his job, but the guy sometimes just loses all common sense. to throw at fielder last night-prime example

Since you are a Cardinal fan, I will tell you that everyone else hates La Russa. He is a complete and utter jerkoff. Most of his team doesn't like him

cordero has done his share to screw us a few times also- tho the only one i can say you can put some trust into. that being said ned did not always mismanage , they were the right decisions just not executed by a horrible bullpen. blame the the bullpen not yost on this meltdown

Cordero has lost a few games, but he has 44 saves on the year. Imagine the crew's pen without him

I am sure his is done in St Louis. Though I can't stand him; his teams win most of the time.

i know what your saying , like i said he's the only one you can trust for the most part. but yes with out him..........heaven forbid we go back a couple of years and would still have turnbow as our closer. wouldn't that just be unjust torture!!!!! that thought just gives me the creeps. i think when they put the camers on turnbow last night -you know he was thinking why am i such a head case with runners on and well only 4 more games as a brewer -hope someone wants me
