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.

And Bob, they are not locked up yet, if they win today and the Brewers lose then it will be locked up, 1 game with 3 to go, the only thing we have going for us is the Brewers have to play San Diego, and they have plenty of implications going on in the West

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

I think the biggest problem the Brewers have, besides not controlling their own destiny, is that they have to play San Diego in a 4 game series. Very hard to sweep one of those so then you are looking at a Magic number of 2 if they lose just one, etc, etc.

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

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

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

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.

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
