Reason for the Brewers losing road trip in Pitt?

[kilgore37]

Much of the conversation in the Brewers' clubhouse centered on the other guests at the team hotel in Pittsburgh. There was an Anthrocon convention in town, drawing people interested in anthropomorphics, described as "humanlike animal characters." Members of the organization also are known as "furries," because they wear outfits designed to make them look part animal, particularly cartoon animals. Apparently, the convention attendees really get into the transformation. "I didn't get a lot of sleep," J.J. Hardy said. "There were people in the room next to mine barking all night."

No wonder the Brewers weren't able to club him.

Yeh, I just don't think the Pirates are that bad of a team. The Brewers had to face arguably their two best pitchers and the offense is better than they have shown. That's not to shay they "should" have won 3 out of 4 but it's not that surprising of an outcome.

Yeah, LaRoche was bound to start raking. As some bad country song says, you can't keep a good man down.

 

As much as a lot of people hate to hear it, it was just a few of those days, just in a row.

I don't mind a few of those days in row.....as long as they make it 6 in a row. Go Buccos and go into the All Star Break hard!

Has there been an Order of the Baby Seal award given out to a Brewer pitcher yet this year? Only one I can think of might be Villanueva's first outing of the year.

Turnbow definitely had one against the Braves.

I dunno, being around furrys would drive me to a murderous rage. You don't even want to know what they do at these conventions.

Hard to hit the off-speed stuff while in a rage. Got to be cool to go the other way.
