I think anyone trying to make comparisons about how such and such championship team started slow, too, is silly. Going into this season, the best we thought the Brewers could do was hopefully stay healthy and compete for a playoff spot. As constructed, this is not a championship caliber team so those comparisons really should stop any day now. Losing isn't really the surprising thing. The surprising thing - though this shouldn't surprise me - is that the funk they were in at the end of the year has carried into this year. I kind of figured we'd see .500 ball this season, and we still very well could, but holy smokes is this ugly.
