    I'd say it's time to change from "Hells Bells" to "Jingle Bells".

    1 year can make a lot of difference.
    He can't be dominant forever, and he just doesn't have it anymore.

    Was pretty weird seeing him get booed last night.
    Time to hang it up before he becomes a joke.

    I didn't get where Macha pulled Corey Hart for Edmonds in the 10th with men on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Hart has been hitting well, and had a HR earlier. Him getting a game winning hit could really help turn the guy around. Instead Edmonds come in and hit a fly ball to left that didn't even advance the runners. Sure Edmonds made a nice catch in the 11th, but he wouldn't of even had to had he hit the ball.

    I don't like how Macha loves the old guys so damn much.

    I too was confused by that move. Hopefully Trevor can find something in himself again and hit the 600 mark, then I think it may be time to hang it up. I'm sure with being this close to 600 he will still stick around.

    Not to mention he swung on the first pitch.

    Was watching MLB Network, and a lil bit ago Mitch Williams said:

    "he can't throw the fastball by anyone anymore, so people are just waiting back on the change-up...looks like he's throwing BP out there. I think his pride will tell him to retire before 600, because he knows he is hurting the Brewers chance at the post-season if he continues like this"

    He couldn't throw fast last year either....same speed. No more changeup or a severe drop off, not sure if he has some issue he is hiding or what. He got guys out with the change last year with huge success, keeping guys off balance. We'll see if he can make adjustments, if he just throws fastballs like this people will tee off pretty easily (see Suppan).

    Turnbow's problem was he couldn't find the plate. He'd walk 3 guys and then groove a fastball down the middle.

    With Hoffman, there's just not enough difference in speed between his fastball and change to make them look different. Plus he used the shit out of the changeup all last season. So people are expecting it.

    It's too bad for the guy. But shit he's 42. I forgot he was that old.

    Hoffman part 2

    Ya lose some, ya win some. Hoffman looked great and Gallardo was very good on the mound. Lots of runners left on base though, shiuldve been way more than 2 runs.

    It looked good on paper, but that first guy crushed one to the warning track... a little toooooo close.

    That was brutal. Great pitching by Parra and Estrada who they just called up.
