For all of you Brewers fans

If you are a bandwagon fan who's willing to freak out after any Brewers loss or frustrating outcome, or call for Yost's head or ridicule the organization after any poor outcome, then leave the Bandwagon. We don't want you. We're going to go through some trials and tribulations through the next few weeks, and I don't want to come on this board and see "Fire Yost" threads or "Trade X" threads after every mistake, bad game, or poor managerial deicison.
I know I'm 100% behind this team, it's manager, and it's front office. I see no reason to overreact right now, even if they played like crap on Sunday and blew today's game. I'm sick of having a losing mentality on this team or amongst it's fan, and we've shown that we have the talent and production to compete in this league.
So relax. It's a 162 game season, and right now we have one of the best records in baseball, if not the best record. We're leading our division by nearly 7 games. We're going to win our division. We're going to make the playoffs.
And if you don't think you're ready to handle the criticism or the adversity, then go to a Cubs or Yankees board. You'll be more welcome there.

Why can't we question the manager when he continues to make HORRIBLE decisions with the bullpen?

Im always on the bandwagon. And I never trust Yost and turnblow... so this isnt much of a surprise for me. Lets get em 2morrow.

I don't mind questioning or criticism. I enjoy seeing that we care about the situation, which we haven't seen in a while. But at the same time, "Fire Yost" threads are ridiculous and a complete overreaction, especially after the start we've had.

Questioning him is fine. Asking him to be fired is not.

How about any Brewers fan can question anything they want without being called a Bandwagon fan? I like that idea better.
The bandwagoners are the guys out there wit the brand new hats on who suddenly care. Not the guys who have been talking Brewers on the Bucks board all along.

Yes, I agree. Questioning the team is fine. As I said earlier, I don't see a problem with criticism, but it drives me insane when people are putting up stupid "Fire Yost" threads and such.
And I would contend that as the team gets better, we'll get more and more "bandwagon" fans on the board. And this thread is meant for them as well.

Yeah who wouldnt trust a guy who has been just killing everyone he faced.
THis is the first time what that we lost after we had the lead after 7 Innings.
We have Vargas and Suppan pitching in the next two games if i am correct.
Everyone needs to calm down, and not listen to espn saying this is what we expected.

This didnt just come up today. Ive been saying F#uck every time Turnblow came up to the mound. I just simply dont like him as a pitcher.

Yeah man, don't overreact. Yes we blew it tonight but the cubs blew it too. We are still killing everyone in our division and that is what matters to get into the playoffs.

Turnblow could be lights out and then be... well lets not go there.
Im not a huge fan of inconsistancy. And his style of pitching is the kind that you can never expect what you get. Im not saying he couldnt be good... he is just not trustworthy for me. When Cordero comes in... in the 9th.. you get the feeling of... game over... Pretty much everytime. Do you get the feeling... No runs in this 8th... everytime turnbow comes in? well... I dont.

WE ARE #1 IN OUR DIVISION BY 7.0 GAMES, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR. I mean honestly, yes its true we blew tonights game and i am very frustated with yost for leaving Turnbow in as long as he did. But i dont want a Milwaukee Brewer-saw massacre with Neds head on a spear. Nor should any brewers fan.

Smooth sailing is not going to make this team continue to grow and mature. This team needs a bloody nose or two to remind them that life is a bitch in the MLB. I think a couple of kicks to the groin will help make the Brewers a better team in the long run. There was a stretch where wins were coming too easy for a team with this many young kids. They needed a reminder that the guys in the other dugout are not going to roll over and play dead because the Brewers are in town.

I don't understand how you can hate on a pitcher which as been lights out this whole year. Granted, he blew this game. But your credibility is weakened when you say that you've been down on Turnbow this whole year, even though he's been nothing short of outstanding. Now, if you want to bring in last year, that's also unreasonable. Cordero wasn't exactly thrilling during the first half of last year, and he came into Milwaukee and had been lights out since. Turnbow seemed to have corrected his mistakes and outside of this last outing, has been simply fantastic

I bet it's because he doesn't play defense.

people are just pissed cuz he finally melted down this year, it couldn't go on forever, nor could the undefeated after the 7th, nor not losing back to back the rest of the year. high expectations this year mean people freak out at any sign that **** ain't going right. its may 14th (15th). chill out. even though i freak out too

it's your duty as an american to always question politicians and your baseball team's manager.
i think it's in the consitution, somewhere near the end
