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.

Brewers Get Shutdown By Astros And Oswalt 5-0
After the Milwaukee Brewers played well Tuesday against the Houston Astros I thought we may get another good performance, but it did not happen. Astros ace Roy Oswalt had command of his pitches and cruised to an easy 5-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers who lost another home game which is no shock. Oswalt went 8 innings and only gave up four hits in the win. The Brewers Chris Naverson went only 4 innings giving up 8 hits and four runs to take the loss. Two bright spots for the Brewers were Trevor Hoffman who pitched one scoreless inning and Jeff Suppan pitched two innings of shutout ball.
Ryan Braun collected two hits for the Brewers and was the only Brewer play to do so. The Brewers are now 5-15 at home. That is just plain horrible no two ways about it. I do not know why the Brewers play so bad at home, but they do. Today, the Brewers have Dave Bush pitching with a 1:10 PM et start time. Hopefully, Dave Bush can give the Brewers some decent innings so the bullpen can get a rest. They have logged many innings already and it is still early in the season.

Brewers Need To Make A Change In The Dugout
Well the Milwaukee Brewers continued their free fall with another loss which has become an everyday occurrence it seems. The streak stands at 9 games and it is time for a change in the dugout. Ken Macha has been given more than enough time to get the Brewers untracked. Last year the Brewers were just a .500 ball club and this year they are worse.
The Brewers were suppose to be better this year as they added pitching, but the opposite has been true. The pitching has been horrible and it starts with the manager. Management cannot fire the whole team so making a change at manager is all that is left. Last year there was some rumblings about Ken Macha and with his lack of success maybe management should have listen. If the Brewers do get rid of Macha hiring Willie Randolph should be something they consider. He is a good manager and he cannot do any worse than what we have right now. Maybe the Brewers need a change. The direction they are going in right now is unacceptable.

Brewers Pound Dodgers 11-3
The Milwaukee Brewers scored early and late as they pounded the Los Angeles Dodgers for a second straight game. Milwaukee four runs in the first inning and got five more in the 8th inning and added two more in the 9th inning for a 11-3 rout of the Dodgers. Prince Fielder was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's and Rickie weeks was 3 for 5 with 3 RBI's. In total the Brewers got 13 hits and have been hitting the ball much better. Of course this could also have something to do with the Dodgers pitching staff who has struggled.
Doug Davis struggled in the game, but did pitch well enough to get the win. he gave up three earned runs and the bullpen closed the door the rest of the way. This series against the Dodgers has shown the Brewers can hit the ball and when given good pitching they can win ball games. The key is they must continue to do this series after series. Just playing well in one series will not get the job done. Hopefully the Brewers will continue on a roll. I doubt it, but we will see.
