I'll take the blame for this one. Each of the last three days, I've decided to watch the Brewer game at my neighborhood sports bar. The record in those three games? 0-3. I know that superstitions like this usually go unfounded, but I can't help in some way feel responsible. Or maybe it was because Ben Sheets decided to wear white tonight instead of blue.
I want to panic after a game like this, but I have to remember that it is still just late July, and we have a long way, including 8 more against the Cubs, to go. However, it's tough to see us fall completely flat on our face (i.e. Ryan Braun in left), and lose back-to-back nights when Sabathia and Sheets were on the mound.
I've said from the start I wanted to split this series, and now we're going to have to win with both Parra and Bush to do so. Please redeem yourself, Milwaukee, because I do not want to have to hear "Overrated" chants directed to you once again at Miller Park.
The Brewers lost this one 7-1, and nothing else really interesting of note. I'm trying to stay positive, but for as good as we've looked last week, we've looked even worst the last three days. I hope the Brewers aren't going through the same syndrome they went through at Fenway earlier this year when they all of a sudden didn't think they were good enough. The Brewers are a great team when they are up to it, and clearly they haven't been in the last two games.
Also, please trade for a bullpen arm and get rid of Mota before the Deadline.
Box Score.
TBC's Player of the Game: Mike Cameron, for breaking up the shutout.

I am in Chicago this week. My brother and I are making the trek up to Milwaukee on Thursday for the game. There had better not be too many Cubs fans there, but I am guessing I will be disappointed in this regard.
(This will be my third game of the season, and third game of the week... Houston: loss on Friday, win on Saturday).
