Default Torres has been excellent as closer!

As for criticizing the bullpen, you need to take a look at what torres has done. He has been nearly perfect since becoming the closer. He for some reason is an underrated pitcher and gets no respect. If the brewers had him start there who knows what there record would be. There bullpen is fine and the brewers are the hottest team in baseball. If gagne can regain any of his form, the bullpen will be tough. With him and shouse setting up torres they will be fine. Along with that, the addition of Sabbathia helps the bullpen. He throws late into many of his game and even has a few complete games. The brewers also have one of the strongest minor league systems in the majors and didn't mortgage it all a way in the trade. The huntsville team is loaded with prospects. So don't be surprised if the crew make some other moves. Go crew!

Come on now bratwurst. You went to the bottom of the 9th on Thursday with a 5 run lead, and never got an out. Granted, the night before, Torres got out of a pickle nicely. I'd get a lil more help there.

Default whatever did you see the game wasn't torres fault.

Did you see the game? No yost put in motta he walks first two then a single. Brings in shouse and he gives up a double. By the time torres got in the situation was not to be blamed on him. Hes due to have a bad outing. The thing that impressed me is the players didn't dwell on the loss and swept pittsburgh. Unlike cub fans who still believe in a jinx and blame bartman for not making the world series. Before you make a statement check the facts before talking and oh yeah cub fans get ready to say your famous quote: You watch next year is our year! Should be good at it since its been 100 years!!!!!!!

I didn't see it. I've seen that **** enough with Broxton giving it up severe. I do know ya can't rely on Torres alone. As far as Thursday though. I don't know what you're talking about. Torres came in and gave up a single to Upton. Then O Hudson doubled to deep left, and C Jackson singled to center. That's 3 hits, and no outs. HOW THE FCK YOU GIVING TORRES A PASS ON THAT? Ya using him 3 games in a row in that spot. Doing that's an issue. Dodgers would have a 1 game lead if ya fkn pin do their job. Get some more help. Clean dat s-h-i-t up, or it's gunna repeat like Italian food.
