Because it's going to be great seeing Ned's last month of managing baseball games in Milwaukee. Atlanta can't possibly come calling for him after 2 of the biggest second half collapses in baseball history, can they? They're a smart organization, even they wouldn't hire the the infamous bench coach Ned Yost.
Go Bucks!

Because we're still in 1st! Oh wait
We're only 2.5 games out and we have two more with the Cubs, just us and the Cubs! Oh wait
There's always the wildcard! Oh wait
Screw this team.

Actually I'm now going to sort of question Yost's move with Suppan. You leave him in to hit in the 7th just to have a short leash in the bottom of the inning?

I wasn't alive the last time this team won anything. So I should be used to it, I'm just bloody sick of it

I learned a long time ago not to get emotionally invested in the Brewers.....so this isn't so bad for me. The only real hard part is the fact we wasted a season where we got some great hitting performances and had all these young guys under cheap contracts.
But in true MLB form, guys who got big money like Suppan, Sheets and Billy Hall all decide to have off years or are "injured" That to me is the crock with the MLB.....this guys all get their big paydays but seem to play well only every other year or third year. At least I know Mo Williams is going to average 15/5/5 next year no matter what after getting his contract.
Actually I'd probably trade the Brewers winning the division this season for the Bucks winning 50-games next year or Yi getting ROY.

He hit a batter. No big deal. He was really good.trwi7 wrote:Actually I'm now going to sort of question Yost's move with Suppan. You leave him in to hit in the 7th just to have a short leash in the bottom of the inning?
Like I said before Yost never makes the right move at the right time. If anything just get me a lucky manager if anything.

Same here. I'm 20. I've been alive for 4 winning seasons. Two of which came in the summer of the year I was born and another the next year. The last time this team had a WINNING SEASON I was 5, I am now 20.

Me = 20 2. I've felt no happiness from any of my teams (except the IceHogs woo)

I'm almost the same way. Bucks depressing my whole existence except for 2001. Packers won the Super Bowl and made it to another one. Brewers suck. Badgers good. Admirals win Calder Cup in 2004 and make it again in 2006.

Had to change the picture, she got so big I didn't feel the need to share her with the rest of you. Admire this picture instead
