Our pitching is pretty good, our defensive efficiency is pretty good...
…but our pythag is pretty much even, and our run differential shows me we score about as much as we give up. Not a good formula.

If Fox can keep his hitting going
He can easily start 60 games next year (10 each at LF/RF/3B/1B and 20 at C). Add in another 50-60 appearances as the lead PH, and he’ll have a nice 300 AB season.
Then trade Bradley and stick him in RF a la Keith Moreland.

Adam Dunn proves that defense is excusable
After watching Fox at 3B/1B/LF (I followed gameday tonight so I didn’t see him catch, but that one pitch Gameday had as about 8 feet in the air…), he has absoutely no form in the field, but yet the plays still happen.
I’d rather see Fox be the guy that gives our starters a day off than some Freddy Bynum type clown.

Wow. I had no idea. I guess he IS a "guess hack hitter".
Didn’t realize there was conclusive photographic evidence.
In all seriousness, I’m glad for him. It’s been a rough few months for him trying to play through a horrible slump. It’s run lesser players right out of the majors for good…
Way to hang in there Sori!

But to come on here, time after time, to tell us the Cubs are done this year, the Cardinals will run away with the division, it can get to be too much.

1 inning does not a season make...
… i thought i was complimentary by keeping him Earth-bound. more scoreless innings (unlike the 2HRs in his last outing) and an ERA under 4.00 might get him back on solid ground :)
he did pitch well today.

No point in it. A sac fly wins it. If he even catches the ball with his back to the infield, the winning run scores.

No, Soriano must be perfect, otherwise he is a bust and Jim Hendry should be lynched.
If it had only been a sac fly, that would have been a failure to execute.
But he’s in one of those zones where he can go completely insane for about three weeks and single-handedly carry a team.

why? I have not seen it on TV yet
Did he just start laughing after he hit it or something? Now, i would have loved it if he had stopped to tie his shoelaces halfway to 1B, but yes, that would deserve getting a fastball in the ribs.
It's a simple question, Doctor: would you eat the moon if it were made of ribs??

Slow out of the box, "You Can't See Me", pointing to his family behind home plate
Showboating, in their eyes.

I have to say, I don't like the hand gestures. Slow out of the box on a walk off GS, OK- that happens from time to time.
But the hand waving IS disrespectful and unnecessary. Much like untucking one’s jersey after a walk off winner. Which, as I recall, causes just as much debate on this site following a Brewers win over the Cubs.
Just saying…

Well, IF I were a fan of Michael Jackson
and I grabbed my crotch and went “Whoo” after a game winning walk off GS, would that be disrespectful of the opponent or a tribute to a music fav of mine?
It’s still disrespectful in my eyes, but I understand your point.
It just doesn’t work for me. I’m “old school” I guess.

Fair enough
Had Soriano done it and we were 10 games back in the division I would probably tend to agree with you.
Its like when Velverde celebrated a couple years ago when he defeated the Cubs yet the team was out of the race.

The Cards have tasted success before
They’re slightly professional about it. It’s all new to the Brewers (and their fans), so they have no idea how to act.

… and they are the most disgusting fans. it’s less about Milwaukee not knowing what to do with winning and more about their inferiority complex with anything Chicago. we own their park, Z had having his No Hitter there only made them more bitter.
Cardinals fans do show some class.

We have a (very) long rivalry with the Cards
For the most part, fans on both sides of it respect the other team. Milwaukee wants a rivalry, but until they get over the “little brother” act, we cannot take them seriously.

they'll never get over it.
being only 90miles away it’ll never happen. too many IL people make this trip (and Wisconsin in general) their weekend getaway. Milwaukee gets a huge Chicago/IL influx via Marquette University (myself included). and many many of us that did come here via that route have a fondness for this city because we see it as a miniature Chicago. good lakefront, active downtown, good northside, good food, sport scenes (all scaled down of course), but a whole heck of a lot easier to get around and less expensive too.
Boo-Hoo-Brew-Crew fans throw hissy fits when Cubs’ fans buy up all the tickets they can, while being mad that tickets for that serious cost more than the rest of the season which makes it “unaffordable” to them. they dont realize a outfield seat here is jacked all the way up to $25, at Wrigley i believe it runs $80. heck i don’t think any marquee ticket tops $100 at Wrigley North

Lived in Chicago/Chicagoland 15 of the last 16 yrs. Almost 10 yrs. spent in Chicago proper. It’s not just MKE that wishes it was Chicago – so does MPLS/STP, Cleveland, Detroit, etc., etc. I can see how that comment I made could come off as arrogant. No disrespect intended.
