Last week I was riding high after the Crew swept the Cards. Now, I'm hoping the Brewers can win one game and stop the bleeding. The Cubs have taken the first 3 in the series, but there is still hope. Winning one of four at home is not much, but it's a heck of a lot better than being swept.

What happened? When did things start to unravel? I think most people would point to the play Rickie Weeks didn't make in Monday night's game where he threw the ball into the stands on a potential inning ending double play. It was his 2nd error of the inning and an absolute momentum killing, back breaking missed opportunity for the Brewers.

I think the Brewers can bounce back, but after getting swept at home by the Cubs and seeing their 1/2 game deficit jump to 4 or 5 games you know their confidence is shaken. : (

Good series over the weekend against the Braves with the exception of Sunday's uninspired shutout loss. Not pleased, but life will go on. They just need to pick things up a bit and play like they're capable of. Be more selective at the plate, play good defense and generate some runs with base hits and timely hitting. They can't continue to live on the long ball.

Did this guy come as advertised, or what? He's 4-0 with the Brewers and working on a streak of 3 complete games. He's struck out 24 batters in 24 innings while walking 6.

Anyone who has taken a peek at what CC Sabathia has done in four starts as a Milwaukee Brewer knows he has been every bit the ace he was touted as when the team traded for him.

After Sabathia’s first start, he joked that he was too new to the team to ask manager Ned Yost to go out for another inning, but they could be perfect strangers for life and he’d still go out for as many innings as he’d like based on the way he’s been pitching.
