Last night before I headed to bed, I checked my Facebook and see the Daily Dose's main man Mitch say that he heard boos for Trevor Hoffman tonight who blew his second save in as many days. I understand why some Brewer fans would be upset but I cannot believe how early the boobirds have started. The new Brewer fan base shouldn't be known as loyal rather a bunch of over reactors.
I am not talking about the guys who have seen many games at County Stadium when the likes of Ricky Bones, Matt Mieske, Dave Nilsson, and Jamie Narravo to name a few where trotted out and there was a beer mug for Bernie Brewer. I and others my age endured many years of shitty baseball yet we still stood by our team. Even into Miller Park in the first couple years, the Crew struggled and people like my friends and I would just go on a whim to get tickets because we knew they would be available on any night plus all we wanted to do is watch baseball. Those days are gone, and so are seeing the Brewers as the awkward kid in our professional family, so there goes the full on support we once had at County Stadium.
I would say this all started when the Brewers made their original run to the playoffs in the summer of 2007 and people really started to support the Crew in droves although when the collapse happened there were only a few of us to catch them showing the support. The next year the Brewers made the playoffs and everyone was taking their family to the games, the JJ Hardy shirt jersey girls with short skirts were all over the place (Can't say I didn't love that part), and the obnoxious fans that do not know baseball. I realize that in any sport there will be those people but this is getting ridiculous, I just want to see the Brewers' fans get behind a guy when he struggles for a couple days or a week.
I completely get booing a guy if he sucks for more than two weeks because in my opinion, that is much more than a slump. I saw it out of J.J. Hardy, and Bill Hall, but I think the fans expect so much that the pressure these guys are under is tremendous. People need to relax a bit and realize that it's very rare to have everyone hitting at the same time. Drastic changes are not needed right away because these guys are professionals who will figure out how to rite the ship.

Brewers Weekly: Trevor Taking Over Milwaukee
Before we get going, I am on Twitter now and its basically an easier way for people to follow my blog on Twitter: http://twitter.com/chuckscorner. Also soon you can be a fan on Facebook. I stole this topic from the post-game show on 1250 WSSP AM who said that Trevor Hoffman is having a bigger impact on the community than CC Sabathia. Most people who in my opinion were caught up in the moment feel that Hoffman has such impact and everyone loves the atmosphere he brings. I disagree, I think that the excellence that Sabathia showed throughout the regular season to bring us to our first playoff is something that I and many people will never forget. Now if Hoffman comes in to "Hells Bells" in the 9th to clinch the NL Division then he becomes more iconic. Heres the wrap-up of the week....
Monday: This game might go down as one of the best games of the year for the Brewers as they defeated the Cardinals 1-0. Yovani Gallardo proved that he can be the stopper because the Crew was on a three game losing streak heading into the game and pitched magnificently going 8 IP, 2 hits, 8 Ks. It took Bill Hall who was riding a 1-28 streak to deliver in the 10th.
Tuesday: Not much to talk about here with the Brewers getting their asses kicked. We saw the Jeff Suppan of the late months last year giving up long balls like it was his day job and the Cardinals finally got their win against the Crew.
Wednesday: No offense from the Brewers losing their first series at Miller Park since mid-April 3-2. Manny Parra pitched very well which needs to happen almost night in and night out. But I do wonder if its screws with Manny's already loose head if the Crew doesnt get runs for him.
Friday: Braden Looper once again proved why he has been a top 5 under the radar signings this year by pitching a great 7 IP 3 Hit game where he surrendered two runs. Also Corey Hart delivered with a huge homer in the 7th which we all thought was great news because a couple of friends and I were at a bar where they promised free "Seven and Seven" if a homer was hit in the 7th. Well we wanted to collect and the waitress tells us that they do not do that anymore. It was only a bump in the road on a long night.
Saturday: This was the game the Brewers offense finally came alive. They had a huge inning with Ryan Braun and Mike Cameron hitting home runs in a six-run inning. Also Bill Hall got a double which everyone was in complete amazement because Hall actually got a hit. Dave Bush needs to find his command again since he has seem to lose it in the last two games. Although the bullpen was great.
Sunday: I took this game in for myself with Doz and the Brewers put five runs in the first three innings. Also Yo struck out nine without having his best stuff. He had six through two innings and the guy who sat in front of us completely jinxed Yo going into the third inning. I blame him for not seeing a twenty strikeout outing.
