That's it ladies and gentlemen

So the Brewer's season is officially over.

First off, shame on all you who gave up towards the end and didn't watch and bad-mouthed the team the last month. Do we not remember the 25 years in which we were terrible? Last year was a gift that we will not receive again probably for another 25 years. Enjoy the game of baseball, and the team wasn't that bad.

There were a few things to salvage from this year:

• McGehee is a stud and needs to start next year
• Gamel needs to be on the team all and needs a new position
• Gallardo is a start
• Fielder and Braun have bright futures the next 8-10 years
• Fielder may be better than we thought he was
• Braun is Mr. Consistency
• We actually missed Weeks
• Escobar is a start and needs to be the everyday starter
• Dave Bush is still consistent and a nice 4-5 pitcher
• Hoffman is still a star closer even at his age and should be kept around
  

We also learned some lessons that we need to move on from here with:

• We need to buy out Suppan and pay him to retire
• Parra is not who we thought he was
• Hardy needs to be traded because teams will want a below average hitting, good defensive shortstop with various STDs
• Hart is not who we thought he was
• Kendal needs to retire and become a bullpen coach
• We have no bullpen
• Need 1, probably 2 starters to battle for the Wild Card next year
• We need to trade a "fan favorite" (Hart, Hardy, or Weeks)

The team is salvageable and later this week I will have my thoughts on what their starting lineup should look like next year.
