    I can't stand all the k's. Our hitting coach has failed us in a colossal way. Just too many easy outs in this lineup.

    A series against the trashy Twins got hopes up but the team is back to reality these past couple of games. Didn't like the pitching match ups for the Astros yesterday and today but the offense is back to not getting the job done as well.

    It's none of the coaches fault, just innocent bystanders. Lol we'll be back to see who this is coming in the game.

    The game we beat TOR, Tulowitzki didn't play.

    Fiers/Gomez trade.... both teams got crap.


    Can't wait to see Gurriel.

    Tony Kemp is a major leaguer, but he needs to be playing 2nd base. The guy is the definition of noodle arm out in left.

    We just don't beat good teams enough. We still have a lot of maturing to do and we need to aquire a few bats. But we get our butts kicked by good teams.

    Correction. The Brewers currently have two Top 75 prospects as a result of last year's trade.

    Was thinking Game 1 @MMP.

    Bautista missed this entire series and TOR still mashed.

    Damn... only one team got crap.

    We just don't match up well against Toronto. You also can't keep playin elite level baseball when you combine really good teams with no days off in the schedule. This was going to happen, even the Cubs went cold for awhile when they played 22 games in a row. The difference is the Cubs didn't have an abysmal start to the season.
