I agree... It is too early to panic, but DANG it feels like nothing is going our way!

Yeah, JSonline stupidity knows no bounds. It's basically because the average idiot reads the journal sentinal and many really don't understand sports. They see the articles and sports blogs and then leave their idiotic comments. You don't see it on Brewerfan.net because idiots have never heard of it and you don't find them here as much because the message board link is hidden a bit on the website.

Still it is pretty amazing how stupid our fans are. You win 96 games last year, win the division, and a playoff series, now after a slow start (just like they've had the last 3 years and 4 of the last 5 years), everyone is giving up

Facebook comments are even dumber believe it or not. I haven't read many this year, but I assume it's pretty much the same nonsense on js.

well that takes the whole JSonline syndrome times about 100. Instead of just newspaper readers, now you have just about everyone.

And believe me, this world is full of idiots and misinformed <morons.

I know you saw it too because you commented on it, but I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this rational post on jsonline.

"Yet another series loss - getting a bit monotonous. HOWEVER, I actually felt the Reds offense was going to tear up the Brewers pitching and it did NOT. Take away Estrada's one bad inning and the Reds did NOT score more than 2 runs in any inning in the 3 games. Gallardo was great, Greinke even better today, and the bullpen for the most part stable. Chulk is a waste and Axford has definitely not been lights out this year so far. The offense doesn't have a clue right now other than Braun, but Morgan looks like he's starting to come out of it, Lucroy and Ramirez as well. Weeks .164 batting average is SO ridiculous, it's not even funny. Hart has come back to earth too. I guess we'll see what happens against the Cubs (who are also playing a bit better) this weekend, but if the Brewers can gain some momentum and get to near .500 by the end of May, they can get back into it. The first 5 series in June include Pittsburgh, the Cubs, San Diego, KC and Minnesota - teams the Crew should dominate. Despite losing 2 of 3, I'm actually more encouraged than discouraged by this series."

That makes me feel more optimistic as well the fact that we play Kansas City, Minnesota, and Chicago in interleague rather than Boston, New York, and Tampa. They need to take advantage of playing the Cubs, Mets, Astros, and Twins the next week and a half before they head back to the West Coast. I think this turns into a typical good Brewer season where they start to get hot in late May and dominate in June.

I don't mind that post as much as others. At least they are making valid points instead of flying off the handle JBG style. But, he said Hart came back to Earth which isn't true; he fell through the Earth and needs to climb back to it. He's slumping like nuts right now.

A post like that has never been seen before on JSOnline.

Well I'm sure it has at some point, but it's rarer than a fan at a Marlins game.

I think so too, there's just too much talent on this team to not contend. Even with the injuries, it's not like we were getting anything out of Gamel and he wasn't playing good defense either. Ishy, Green, Kottaras etc can = Gamel. Even at SS we lost Alex Gonzalez, big deal he wasn't going to hit like he was all season and his D was good but Izturis can play too. And losing Narveson could end up being an upgrade with Estrada there, a lot better stuff than dead arm junk baller Narveson.

Though that reminds me of the post someone made saying how valuable the long man in the pen is and huge of a loss to the pen it was to move Estrada into the starting rotation lol. Yeah long relief, is a real difference maker, I'll bet 75% of Brewer fans have never heard of Chulk before.

well that's the point, it's a rational post, I mean lately it's been tougher to find those than the stupid ones, kind of changes the meaning of this thread from a sarcastic one to literally the best post of the day over there.

Who's Chalk? I don't like chalk dust. I sneeze when I erase black boards. Remember Eraser with Arnold? Great movie. The magnet gun was cool shooting coils of electricity. Think Iron Man could bite a power line? I bet he could. He's Iron Man, not Water Man. Now, Aqua Man would die. Why aren't multiple dice called dices, that'd be so cool. I used to smoke Kool's in college for about a week but I didn't like them since I didn't smoke for long. Why is Howie Long popular? I find his analysis to be straight to the point to the point that my mom could give his advice. Why did they bring back Miami Vice? Has anyone else played Vice City? I live in The City Beautiful. Why they put City before Beautiful I don't know.

Huh. Who's Chalk again?

stop it

These last 2 games have just proven that all those people saying that we were DELUSIONAL for thinking the brewers weren't horrible are the DELUSIONAL ones. Todays game didn't work out the way we wanted but the elements were all there that this team needs to do well. Weeks and Hart are the only ones left of the regulars to get going still and with that it'll be even easier to win.

I got to go to bed.

Night.

I know people on here like to give Haudricourt grief, but if you really want to see a bad example of journalism over there, you should read Eugene Kane's articles. The guy is a pompous, racist dbag. I think he wrote an article a few years ago complaining how fans were hating on Bill Hall and some other black underperforming players because they are racists. Plus I'll never forget the time where he criticized my dad for the way his police department handled some criminal case. He didn't personally bash him, but he was in charge at the time the incident happened. Of course Kane's "facts" were way off from what really happened.

yeah that's pretty awful too. JSonline isn't exactly known for having grade A journalists. If you're gonna accuse people of being racist at least back it up with real facts.

John Axford tweeting relevant facts that crazy people should read:

The game was lost in the second inning. Ramirez doubles leading off. Then Corey Hart, who is either too selfish or too inept, cannot sacrifice himself by hitting a ground ball to the right side of the infield to get Ramirez to third base where he could have scored on the sharp single by Lucroy. This is the same Corey Hart who was doubled of of first base on a hit-and-run last Sunday when he failed to pick up where the ball was hit and was already past second base when the left fielder caught the ball and easily threw to first for the double play. I believe that I was playing baseball in 6th grade when I was taught that when running from first base on a hit and run to immediately look at my third base coach if I was unable to see where the ball was hit. Hart never looked at his third base coach. I have to conclude that Hart is just a dumb hillbilly from Kentucky. After spening my first 32 years in Milwaukee and teaching at Marquette University for seven years, I moved to Lexington, Kentucky to obtain my Ph.D at the University of Kentucky. I taught classes there while I was a Ph.D student. I was absolutley amazed at the difference between the intelligence of the students that I had taught at Marquette compared to the students that I taught at the University of Kentucky. In my first year of teaching at Kentucky, I was giving exams comparable to what I had given while I was at Marquette and 3/4 of the class failed my course!The vast majority of the people that I met while living in Lexington wery very kind and decent people. But they did almost everything at a snail's place and were as dumb as a post! I am afraid that is the problem with Corey Hart, a Kentucky native. You can take the boy out of the "country" but, unfortunately, you cannot take the "country" out of the boy. After five years of living in Lexington, I knew why the North won the Civil War!

I don't really agree with anything he said baseball wise, but I laughed pretty hard at the end of this. Ahh the south.

hahahaha wow. I don't agree with what he thinks about Hart but that is some funny stuff. It also reiterates why I wouldn't want to move there.
