The Crew is chipping away...it's down to a 3-2 game. Fielder finally broke his hitless streak with a RBI double

The Crew is playing very sloppy tonight...Gabe Gross makes a mistake in center and Prince made one earlier....Corey Hart needs some fire lit under his a$$ too b/c he sure seems to be dogging it

yeah, the crew just hasnt looked that inspired the last few days. I guess I can understand playing in this crap but even against the Reds at home, they seem way to casual about everything. And that starts at the top with Ned....

Pardon me if I misinterpret this, but I just happened in here and I have a question.
Why do you want to fire Yost? He took a team that was one of the most mediocre in the league for an extended period of time, and turned it into a competitor. On a budget.

There's a point when there has to be that next step and with the talent that has been on this team over the last two seasons that next step, playoffs or very successful season, was expected to occur. If not this year then maybe Ned isn't the guy that can get us there. I am a big fan of Ned but if Doug Melvin believes the manager is the block from the Crew getting to the playoffs then I support his decision.

$hit!!!! Losing to Figueroa is about as low as it can go. Nothing against him b/c he's a hard worker but he really doesn't have the stuff to shut down the Brewers like this. That is 7 runs in the last 3 games and that is flat out horse $hit. This team is so much better than that and the bullpen pitched well tonight and the bats were just $hit. What the hell!

Yost isn't the reason for that, the players are. It's Yost's fault we didn't win the division last year, and he's not off to a great start this year.

I'm not saying Yost is the best manager in the MLB, but I like him and hope he keeps his job. He is a pretty laid back guy, and I think that is the kind of manager we need. Yes, high energy guys are good in theory and it seems like they would get everyone to play with more intensity, but they can also rub a lot of players the wrong way and simply piss everyone off. I can't see Prince Fielder playing for a Larry Bowa type, at all.
Another thing, you can't blame Yost for the Brewers shortcomings and at the same not give him credit for what they have accomplished. For the most part, I would say the players are the biggest part in both cases.

Hopefully Hall can keep it up and have a year like 2 years ago. Good start to that at least. Now we just need other guys to start heating up a little bit.

Seems like moving Hall back to third has been huge for him. Hopefully Braun can figure things out in Left soon so his bat can come alive. His strikeouts are terrible.

damn..it's getting harder and harder to dislike Gabe Kapler
also, if anybody sees Prince Fielder, could they please give him a bratwurst and tell him to start hitting homers again?

Woot woot Brewers win 5-3. Gange with the save. Can't wait for the game Prince finally hits his 1st homer it cant come soon enough. Hopefully he doesnt stop at 1 and hits about 50 more.

Oh wow, he did. He sure changed his stance on that quickly. So much for "I don't panic after six games or seven games and change my lineup," It was 11 games by the way. Our manager being off by 4 games is something to worry about. I'd love to see Fielder hit one out of the park and Braun to get a couple RBI to really make him look like a moron.

Kapler should have the everyday job in center for now. Gross has done nothing to show that he deserves playing time while Kapler has been great.
The intentional walk to Church was a head scratcher
