7-2-2004: Brewers (Wise) @ Pirates (Fogg) - GAME 2

[danzig6767]

I missed the games,but we simply arent talented enough to be shocked or ultra upset over losing a double header to the Pirates.The Pirates at home own us like the Yanks own the Red Sox,i have no clue why,but stuff like this happens in baseball.

 

These next two games are very important,a 4 game sweep would be a big time drag.Even if it happens though,i'm not as worried as in past years that the team wil go into a major tailspin.I think our pitching is solid enough to prevent it.

 

Just please give little Ben a chance relatively soon.I know it's possible he could struggle,but i'm more than ready to try and get a set solution to the musical chair 5th starter each week.

 

I did see the highlight of Grieve looking like Ben Sheets playing RF.He is just a brutal defensive OF,but i'd still rather he'd played over Clark.I do wonder though,after playing baseball for over 20 years,how Grieve managed to be so bad in the field.He reminds me of the scared dork in little league who has to play 2 innings and gets put in RF,you just pray a ball doesnt get hit to him.

Being a pessimist myself, I too am surpirsed that people are so shocked and disappointed that the crew lost. I mean, it's always very upsetting to lose 2 in a row to a mediocre team. However, that mediocre team is really hot, and playing at home where they have owned us for the last several years. I'm mad that they lost, but the Brewers losing to the pirates shouldn't come as much of a surprise anymore. You can throw records out the window like Packers-Vikings matchups when these two teams play.

I don't think people would be as upset if we hadn't just played like a bunch of 8th graders against the Pirates, and I also think that people are voicing their frustrations over the fact that the Pirates OWN us. If almost any other team in the NL had taken two off us yesterday I don't think the uproar would be as loud.
