I just flipped to Baseball Tonight, and they're discussing the NL Central. They just said "focus on the number in the loss column, and for the purpose of this discussion, we'll leave the Brewers out". Uhh....we have 51 losses compared to Houston's 50. So all of a sudden we're done and they're not? I might be overreacting, but I'm tired of seeing the Brewers getting overlooked by the "World's Leader in Sports".

 

Proof ESPN hates Milwaukee.

They deserve to be left out of the discussion. Wisconsin teams have gotten plenty of love from the World Wide Leader when it was deserved. It's not right now.

ESPN basically took one look at our pitching staff back in March and decided to ignore us for the whole year. Considering the extra wins we would have with Parra pitching like last year, Bush being healthy, and Rickie Weeks playing full time, we could easily have been right there.

Seriously, you guys are too sensitive. Who cares about what ESPN thinks anyway?

 

I can't believe that Hart made a smart base running play. Maybe the tides are turning ...

I'm hopeful, which is not exactly the same as confident, but it's an emotion I haven't felt lately regarding the Brewers.
Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

How in the heck we won this game is beyond me, but I'm glad it happened. Hopefully we can manage to not embarrass ourselves again tomorrow...

Well, thank goodness.

 

I don't like that I've reverted to my '02-03 habit of marking the tiniest milestones in a game or series (averted no-hitter, averted shutout, averted series sweep), but I am glad that the Brewers now can't be swept by the Nats, not to mention that they still have a chance at splitting the series.

 

P.S. Yo, you might want to be ready to pitch a CG on Thursday. I thought about using blue there but decided against it.

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

Feels like they just won the world series, honestly.
I was embarrassed how much the Brewers' skid and that Dunn AB in the 9th made a Wednesday night July game versus the Nationals feel like a playoff atmosphere
