The Milwaukee Brewers struggled again today before Rickie Weeks and Cory Hart came to the rescue. Weeks and Hart hit two-run doubles in a five-run ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers averted a series sweep by rallying for a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday. Trevor Hoffman pitched an scoreless eighth inning to get the win. This is a win the Brewers needed as they have been struggling to score runs and stopping other teams.
Rickie Weeks and Cory Hart together drove in five of the six runs for the Brewers. Cory Hart has played very well the past six weeks and has helped carry the Brewers. Milwaukee has to be consistent if they want to win more games. They could have won two of the three games if they would have gotten better pitching against Colorado. Being consistent is they key if you want to win series and Milwaukee is not consistent.

Thank You Brewers Bullpen For Blowing Another Game
It seems like Brewer fans have heard this before maybe because they have. Yovani Gallardo pitched great and left the game with a 4-1 lead after pitching six strong innings striking out nine batters. He probably should have stayed in as he sat from the clubhouse and watch the Brewers bullpen give another game away. The Brewers bullpen gave up 7 runs and the Brewers lost 8-7 to Colorado. Thank you bullpen for another shitty job in relief.
For the Brewers fans it was another heart breaking loss to take as this theme keeps coming back to haunt them. The Brewers managed 15 hits and Cory Hart went 2 for 5 with 3 RBI's and his 18th home run. If he is not chosen for the All-Star game that will be a crime. The Brewers finally scored some runs only to watch the bullpen give it away. Oh well this is Brewer baseball in the year 2010.

Brewers Still Have A Chance This Year?
The Milwaukee Brewers should feel real good about where they stand right now. Milwaukee's pitching staff has been one of the worse in the National League and just stand 8.5 Games out of first place. The Brewers recently took two out of three games from the Angels and actually have been playing a little better. Pitching continues to be a problem, but it is getting better. Ken Macha is doing a much better job as well.
If Milwaukee can just hold on and continue to battle they may just have a chance. Pitching will be the key. They have brought up many new pitchers and it will take time for them to gel with the team. Pitching though will be the key for Milwaukee. Trevor Hoffman is another guy the Brewers need to get back on track as well. Every game will be important from this point on.

Yovani Gallardo Only Brewers Pitcher You Can Trust These Days
It seems every time the Brewers put someone on the mound it is a crap shoot to what will happen. One pitcher though has been very consistent in his pitching performances and that is Yovani Gallardo. Without a doubt he is the Brewers ace and has posted some great stats. Gallardo is 6-2 in 12 starts with one shutout and a 2.64 ERA. he has only allowed 22 earned runs and walked only 37 while striking out 77 players. He has been the model of consistency for the Brewers.
He has also has pitched the most innings of any Brewers pitcher along with only giving up four home runs. The thing that makes Gallardo great is he gives you a chance to win by keeping you in the game. Sometimes the offense does not click right away, but you know when he is on the mound you have a chance. Gallardo is young and will only get better as he gains experience from pitching. Look for him to be a 20 game winner in the future because he is that good.

Brewers Look Bad In 8-0 Loss To Cardinals
You had to know when the Milwaukee Brewers started to play tougher competition this was going to happen. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright threw a complete game and Colby Rasmus drilled a two-run homer to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. Just another night for Brewers fans watching the Brewers stumble through another loss. Brewer fans deserve a lot better.
Milwaukee starter Randy Wolf (4-5) sent the first six batters down in order on 20 pitches before running into trouble in the third. Rasmus drew a leadoff walk and Brendan Ryan followed with a single up the middle. One out later, Rasmus scored on a grounder to third by Felipe Lopez. Wolf gave up five earned runs in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked four.
The Brewers only managed 2 hits in nine innings against the Cardinals and Wainwright. The bad part is that the series could get worse. Let's hope not. The Brewers have now lost five out of their last six and no end in sight to this horrible season.

Milwaukee Brewers 1982 Those Were The Days
Here is a video I found on YouTube about the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers. It is a great little video that someone made. It is about when the Milwaukee Brewers were actually winning games and a team that we could be proud of. They did not have the best players, but they gave it their all no matter what. Enjoy.
Florida Has Enough To Stop Brewers 3-2
It seems the Milwaukee Brewers just never have enough when they need it. Take yesterday's game for example. The Brewers sent Chris Capuano who has been out for two years to the mound and he pitched very well. He allowed just three earned runs which would normally get your team a win, but not the way the Brewers play. The Brewers could only manage one run off Florida Marlins pitch Josh Johnson who was very sharp. The Brewers were able to get one run off their bullpen as well. To the Brewers credit they did make it interesting in the end, but could not get the hit the needed.
Three Brewers had two hits apiece, but Milwaukee also had 10 strikeouts in the game. Milwaukee also left runners on in scoring position which also hurt them as well. Milwaukee has a weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals and cannot afford to lose this series. They are slowing falling out of the pennant race and need some wins in this series. To the Brewers credit they continue to play hard and never give up.
