    I'd think it usually takes a while to round back into form, even after rehab starts in the minors.

    You can get competition at the minor league level, but facing down somebody's never-gonna-go-above Class AA catcher in the first inning is way different from facing down Russell Martin with two outs in the seventh, two on and a 3-1 lead.

    Mental tin men are mental tin men.

    It took Pavano six years in the majors to pitch more than the 157 innings Johnson pitched his first full year.

    Pavano....LOL

    Come up with something better than that.

    I don't think it takes that long of a while.

    God Simon, you can't even take a joke.

    Take a step back.

    There better be some heads rolling in Milwaukee after this gutless soon-to-be 1-6 homestand. Fucking ponderous.

    Start with Rickie Weeks, bench his ass, and play Ray Durham full-time. If player enabler Yost won't do it, shitcan him too.

    The Brewers need to stop acting like they're still a developing team, they're a fucking playoff contender now. This isn't the time to treat draft bust Weeks with kid gloves, get his ass out, and get someone in there who can produce.

    A message needs to be sent that these kind of lulls aren't tolerable, because unlike the veteran Cardinals, who suffered a similar swoon at the hands of the Brewers last week, the Brewers do not have the dugout leadership, nor the veteran presence to right them as they go to Atlanta and Cincinnati.

    Christ almighty, gutless, gutless, fucking gutless.

    Going for the sweep, and Howry up in the pen.

    No, no, no.

    Typical gutless retort... it was a "joke"

    Yeah, it was. Seriously, you are fucking crazy sometimes.

    Oh, and I do think Pavano will be helpful, at least to eat innings.

    So, to clarify, you're not happy with the Brew Crew right now, right?

    If the Cubbies are winning, how can the good guys be rubbing it in?

    There is, it appears, plenty of quit in the Brewers.
