Game 01

Damn that was disappointing. The Brewers were leading from the very first pitch until the very last.

Axford gave up a two out 9th inning home run that ended the game. The Brewers were up by 3 going into that inning.

Not the best way to start the year, but there are 161 games left.

3812 Games

Gallardo lost his no hitter in the first inning today to Drew Stubs on the second pitch of his day.

Now or Never

It that time of year again folks. Baseball is back. As I speak, the Brewers are battling the Reds for the division lead. While this may be early season, every game does matter.

The title of this post is Now or Never. This has never been more true for any baseball team, than the Brewers. After this season, we will probably lose Fielder to free agency and possibly Grienke to trade. This is the season to make the push for the world series.

3809

Mark Rodgers almost made it half way to a no-hitter today going 4.1 innings without a hit. He allowed the hit to Jonny Gomez. It was also the first hit Mark Rodgers has given up, going 9.1 innings without one allowed

3808 and Counting

A single to Jesus Feliciano made 3808 consecutive games allowing a hit.

3807 Games and counting

Counting today, the Brewers have a 3807 game streak of allowing hits to the opponents. If the Brewers manage to lose the second game today, they will have a 1807-2000 record since Juan Nieves pitched on April 15, 1987.

The hit today was to Angel Pagan in the first inning.

Injury Report

Unfortunately for the Packers, Ryan Grant is done for the year. He will have ankle surgery. This bumps Brandon Jackson up to the number 1 slot.

However the outlook is not as bleak as it seems. Jackson has definitely matured since his last run at the lead running back in 2007 and Favre lost against the Saints putting the Viqueens a game back already.

Switching Focus

Since the Brewers season is basically over, I have decided to switch my focus to the Packers. Please try to bear with me while I gush over how amazing Aaron Rodgers is or how underrated Ryan Grant is as a running back.

Stuff I got at game

Here is some of the stuff I got at the Brewers game on August 29. All of this is new except the hat, which I got last year.

Game 130 8-4 win over Pirates

As per annual tradition, this was the Brewers game I decided to attend for my birthday, and it turned out to be a good one.

Bush was his usual self, giving up homer after homer. He gave up three total, giving him 3 ER and 4 runs total. He went seven innings though giving the bullpen a well deserved rest. Braddock and McClenddon combined to pitch 1.1 innings no run and some guy named Hoffman came in and got his 599 save. Some might say that is impressive.

On offense, the Brewers roughed up the Pirates starter Morton, plating 8. Unfourtunately the rest of the Pirates pitching staff kept the Brewers silent only allowing 2 more hits. Braun was the star of the day, hitting a 2 run homer and three singles. He is now batting over .300 for the season.

MVB: Braun 4-4 1BB
LVB: Fielder 0-4, with 4 hard hit balls
Stay tuned for pictures and video from the experience.

Game 128 7-2 win over Pirates

This was a close game as the pirates held the Brewers scoreless for the first five innings. The Brewers got their first run in the sixth, then they plated 6 in the 7th.

Narveson pitched well for the game, going 7 innings scattering 7 hits and a walk. He gave up 2 runs, one in the 2nd and 5th. Loe relieved him for the 8th and walked two and got no outs. Braddock came in and finished the 8th and Axford finished the game for the Brewers.

MVB: Escobar 2-4 2RBI 1run
LVB: Loe
