So, the Brewers were unable to close out a road trip with a winning record.  They had the opportunity to finish up 4-2 on their swing through Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.  Two parks in particular that the Brewers have really sucked at.  Instead they lost the rubber match to the Pirates and finished 3-3.  Given the last couple of teams the Brewers play to end the season, that’s not too good.  They really could’ve used feasting on some poorer teams to build up a lead on the Cubs.

Speaking of which, why won’t they just go away?  The Cardinals are working hard at trying to collapse at the end here, why won’t the Cubs follow suit? 

“It’s Lou, he won’t let them quit.”

“It’s Lee and Soriano.  They’re putting the team on their back.”

“They’ve finally come together with some chemistry.”

Actually, it’s the play of their rookies, folks.  I guess that’s alright.  Braun and Gallardo have carried the Brewers at times.  It’s only fitting the Brewers main competition is also relying on guys that aren’t old enough to realize the pressure cooker they’re in.  I just wish they weren’t wearing Cubs uniforms.  I guess I’ll have to put up with Cubs fans until they’re team finally choke. 

[Sigh]
