Corey Hart Is Not Making Friends

Perhaps its obvious to say the Brewers are in trouble after their loss to the Phillies last night, which shrunk their wild card lead to three games. What makes it incredibly obvious, though, were the statements made after the road loss by Corey Hart. There have been a lot of reasons the Brewers have been losing lately and many of them have to do with the Brew Crew just not scoring runs. That's the general perception at least. According to Hart, it's because the home fans boo them.

"Actually, it felt more like a home game than playing in Miller Park," said Hart, who has no home runs and two RBI this month. "We didn't hear the boos that we sometimes here at home. That's the way it goes. Everybody's expecting (the team) to win. I guess they have a reason to be frustrated because we haven't been winning.

"It's not a lack of hustle or effort. A guy makes an error, a guy strikes out and you hear your home town booing you. It makes you ready to get out of there and go somewhere else for awhile. I think we're all looser here."

Yikes. I mean, holy freaking crap, that's bad. Everybody's expecting the Brewers to win because they almost made the playoffs with a very young team last year, then they played well enough to be in position for a playoff spot this year, THEN they added the best pitcher alive to their rotation. Man for man, the Brewers might be the most talented team in the National League right now. If they finish off this collapse and miss the playoffs, the players will be lucky if all the fans do is boo them. Man up and play better, or get booed at home. That's how this works.
