Here is a perfect short article on why the Brewers are sucking eggs currently:

Cardinals have 3 vs the Brewers and 4 in Cincinnati this week.

Need a 5-2 week at least to get things turned in the right direction.

Greg Holland available starting tonight.

Hope the Jays can make life miserable for Buck Showalter and the O's. One thing about this Jays tea so far this year is that they're generally hitting very well against bullpens. It'll be tough to crack the bullpen with Bundy pitching so well early this season but we'll see how it goes tonight.

Stanton has struck out more in the first week than Joe DiMaggio did the entire 1941 season.

Pirates and Cubs postponed until tomorrow.

I know it'll never happen, but it would be great if they pushed the start of the season back to mid-late April and knocked the game count back down to 140ish games.

8-2 start for the Astros despite scuffling a bit offensively against the Padres. Hopefully these games in Minnesota get played in spite of the weather.

How are the Cubs postponed but White Sox playing? Did snow only hit one side of town?

I'd be happy with 4-3 right now but 5-2 would be a big boost to the team. No reason they can't take all 3 against the Brewers with their injuries and poor defense right now.

Damn, was looking forward to having a Cubs game during work.

Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread

Rob Refsnyder really is useless. Can't hit, has no power and doesn't even hit situationally to move runners or drive people in. Throw in that he's a bang average fielder and it's unclear what he is even supposed to offer.

Rays third time they've been out at home completely unnecessarily :/ Not just bad at baseball, also making bad decisions

Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread

Rays win a game! (just about!)

Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread

Wish we could do away with early April regular season baseball altogether. All the cancellations and snow-outs are so avoidable based on basic meteorological data.

LOL. I saw this after I made my post a bit later in this thread. So true. Start a bit later, cut the season back to 154 (or so) more meaningful games instead of squeezing in some low quality makeup games.

No, it's just that Sox fans are more hardy than we wussy Cubs fans and our North Side ways.
