The Brewers deserved to win last tonight's game - up until the 11th. Heck - with the Reds SS dropping an easy pop-up and a HBP - we really should have just won.
But they blew it - and deserved too.
The Brewers just didn't seem to hustle. Games like last night make the rest of the world's assessment seem true (the rest of the world says the Brewers are just the best of the crappy teams).
All those years the Twins made the play-off with a strategy like ours ... except they hustled. Ron Gardenhire would let 'em have it if they didn't. In public - on the bus - in their hotel room.
Back to the game ...
11th inning
JJ Hardy hits a routine pop up behind 2nd base - DROPPED by the Reds. JJ gets first - but looking at the replay: had he been hustling: he gets 2nd.
Next play - he scores on Braun's single. Instead he only got 2nd.
11th inning again ...
Johnny Estrada doesn't hustle down the line - and the Reds turn the 1-2-3 double play (pitcher, to home plate to first base). If he had hustled and beat the throw - the bases would have been loaded when Jenkins got HBP in the next at-bat. Again we would have scored.
We're not the Twins of the past few years ... they hustled or Ron Gardenhire kicked their butts. Ned needs to embarrass one of these loafers like Billy Martin did to Reggie Jackson back in '77.
If he won't do it - I sure hope a veteran like Damian Miller steps up.

Yesterday, when listening to the morning show which I have stopped listening to on a regular basis, I felt that I was listening to the Howard Stein show. As the host ? A.J. or Mathew (you cann"t Tell the differance) was trying to talk Erin into a Lesbian relationship. I thought Mathew have bragged how this was suppose to be a family friendly station. Well is was not as I was traveling with my 2 children in the car. What have you done since June with the radio station???? Thank Goid for LIps or are you going to get rid of him next. very disatified ex listener.

I write a leave a response when I like a article on a site or if I have something to add to the discussion.
Usually it is caused by the passion communicated in the article I
browsed. And on this post "What Would Ron Do ...".
I was excited enough to drop a leave a responsea response :-P I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or does it look as if like a few of the remarks appear like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you make a list the complete urls of all your communal pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
