I have a feeling that this is how most of the Milwaukee Brewer's teams in the last 25 years have played in the middle of August. Twenty games out of first, and just running out the string until the end of September. Getting pounded night after night by teams fighting for a pennant. Sadly, it looks like this year won't be much different. Crappy pitching, lousy hitting and shoddy defense. I've seen this story before. So, I'm through venting. I've used up my allocated vents for this year. Early on, it looked like I would be able to cruise into late September with a handful of vents intact. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. It's been a fun season though. Well, at least is was until the Ramirez home run. Everything seemed to change after that. It's been a meat grinder since. I think this team is worn out. I'm worn out. Tonight was the first time all year I didn't want to turn the game on.
