I meant to post this yesterday, but in all my anger, I forgot.
Wednesday's day game against the Pirates showed the exact reason why the Brewers suck, and will stay below .500 the rest of the season.
First Jeff Suppan gives up 5 runs in the first 2 innings to a horrible Pirates offense. Then our bats, mainly Braun, Fielder, and McGehee get 7 runs in the next 3 innings to lead 7-5. The next half inning Seth McClung comes in and gives up 2 runs. It's like Suppan and McClung were jealous of Burns becoming the worst pitcher on the team. The rest of the game saw the Brewers unable to score depsite a few times having men in scoring position with zero or one out. Sad. Eventually Stetter gave up a homer to the Pirates and the Brewers lost. Our offense just couldn't keep up with the s**tty pitching.
I personally think they should not sell the farm for starting pitching this season. Just stay competitive and fill the seats. Give McGehee more at bats and make sure he is the 3rd baseman of the future. Teach Gamel 1st or outfield in the minors, and hopes Weeks comes back next year. They must get starting pitching for next year though, otherwise they will have same results. However a team next year with Fielder (1/2 the year), Braun, Gamel, McGehee, Hart, Weeks, and Excobar could be sweet. (Full year end analysis and off season hopes will come at end of the year.)

Shitty baseball for sure. I may or may not start posting again when the season is pretty much over. Runners in scoring position is key.
