I Am Insane
Yep…I admit it. One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome. By that rational I truly am nuts. Again I actually believed this Brewers team was different; that they would be a playoff team and play like one against the division leading Chicago Cubs this week. Instead, this entire homestand has become an outright disaster. I encourage you to re-read this post from last season: I am continually fooled by this pathetic franchise. I can’t believe this is the same team that won 8 in a row to grab a share of first place in the NL Central. What a difference a week makes. This group of players along with Neddy Yost should feel embarrassed, and realize that they are far less of a team than they thought they were last Friday morning. I appreciate Melvin making the huge trade to get a bona fide Cy Young pitcher in to help push for the playoffs. It is the first sign management has shown that they believe this team can win now. But when this Brewers club falters as they have this week, they turn believers back into the skeptics. To treat the nearly 300,000 fans that will have passed through the turnstiles this week to this kind of baseball borders on criminal. I just don’t understand how a supposedly good team can fall apart so horribly in front of the fans that are buying their tickets in record numbers. I know there are still 2 months left in the season, but a week like this simply terminates any belief I harbored that the Brewers would be in the playoffs. I have been ranting about this for two years now. I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then, this franchise is and always has been, a LOSER.
