Brewers 1, Braves 8
McClung : Destroyed
Brewers Bats: Silent
Tavarez: Still a head case
In todays embarrassing loss, the Brewers managed to muster up a measly six hits, scoring only once on a Russel Branyan home run. For some reason it feels like 2004 again. Seth McClung avoided early trouble in the first inning with a stellar double play by Branyan and Hardy. Everything came back to haunt McClung later in the game, he picked up six earned runs and also walked a cool six batters. I could write more but I'll just make a list of the embarrassing and ridiculous things that happened.
1. At this point, half of the team could not hit water if they fell out of a boat.
(Rick Astley and Vanilla Ice think the Brewers don't have enough hits)
2. Corey Hart's baserunning error.
3. Corey Hart deciding to step out of the batters box on Braun's chance for a stolen base, which resulted in Braun being called out for interference.
4. Tavarez cutting off a throw to home plate, which could have been close.
(Manny Ramirez once asked the Red Sox to get rid of him because he is a head case...go figure)
5. Ned Yost leaving McClung in so long, apparently six walks fail to rise a red flag.
Any pussy that thinks Ned Yost is a good manager because the team wins a series deserves to be fired from their job too. Rickie Weeks and Mike Cameron are batting .204 and .230. I could also add the fact that they BOTH struck out three times, but what's new right? Good choices for leading off.
Myself and Bryan will be in Milwaukee for the Astros series this weekend, so I will not be writing. I will most likely drink myself into a coma if I have to watch the same Brewers that I had to watch today.

The 40 Million Dollar Man
Brewers 1, Braves 0
Jeff Suppan's wallet after tonight: + $312,500
The hitting certainly did suffer tonight. Some of the better hitters on the team struggled a little at the plate, but Soup picked them up and carried them through 8. Weeks drilled an RBI triple down the left field line to knock in the only run scored throughout the entire game.
Jeff Suppan threw shutout ball through 8 innings. His final line: 8IP, 7 K's, 4 H's, 0 ER's. Although many criticize my comments about Soup, I will continue to stand by my guns. He is good for some stellar outings, I have to give him that, but he often leaves me asking the question..."Which Jeff Suppan will show up tonight?" My good friend often told me during the 2007 season that Jeff Suppan routinely collected his paycheck with a handgun and ski mask. Anybody that tries to tell me that Jeff Suppan is not overpaid can promptly suck my dangle. Many people see a guy like Suppan have a terrific outing, and later forget about the money we pay him for a couple of those a year. I do not. I figured I would just get this out in the open. Not to say Soup is a bad guy or anything, but until he can make 80% of his starts "Quality Starts," I will consider it worth paying him that disgusting amount of money.
I find it hard to go to the well of anger on the nights we win. I could talk some shit about management, but I seem to have a smile on my face...
...for now

Welcome to the Brewers Rant
Hello, and welcome to the Brewers rant.
I, Tyler Graham, and my colleague Bryan Hornbostel are here to get some honesty and truth out into the open. While some pussies (Ned Yost, Doug Melvin, Mark Attanasio) dance around the obvious with excuses for teams, we have no problem pointing out the obvious. We have spent our fair share of nights in Milwaukee watching our favorite team lose, and later getting drunk so we can forget the terrible night.
I have contemplated getting a website online so I can rant and rave about the Brewers, the team that I have loved for as long as I can remember. Let this not be limited to baseball, for I will be writing about the Green Bay Packers as well. Those of you that are looking to read about the Milwaukee Bucks, kindly press the little red x in the top right corner of the screen. Anyone posting about the Bucks, Bucks Related topics, Soccer, Nascar, or any posts supporting the current Brewers management will be subject to ridicule, and will most likely be blackballed from the blog.
Let me first tell you a little about what it is like to be a Brewers fan. As some of you know, the past couple of decades have not been kind to the Brewers. Because most of the people that I know are fans of the Minnesota Twins, I seem to have a problem being under a constant shit-storm of negativity and whiny assholes that do not know what it is like to be a fan of a losing team. Being a Brewers fan is like being kicked in the nuts repeatedly while somebody urinates in your mouth. What is even worse than the feelings previously mentioned is the fact that you have to deal with Cubs fans.
To kind of put the wrap on this intro, the purpose of this blog is to get some of my thoughts down, as well as provide some entertainment to the readers. Hope to see you soon.
