Last night really stung. Most painful loss since 2008. I can't say any of the 2008 playoff losses really hurt, as I was just happy to be there and you knew the team was on borrowed time with a lethargic offense, CC on fumes and no Sheets. Game 3 of the 2011 NLCS was the most painful playoff loss in my lifetime -- that was the Kotsay CF game. As far as regular season losses, reaching back into my bored-at-work memory bank, there are a few nominees: July 3, 2008 at the D'Backs, as mentioned, was brutal. During the 2007 season, there was the June 29 game at Wrigley. The Brewers scored 5 runs in the first and Aramis Ramirez hit a 3-run walk off in the bottom of the 9th to win 6-5. That was the beginning of the downfall of the 07 team. Also, the August 5 loss to the Phillies. Matt Wise, Cordero, Manny Parra and a Braun 3B fielding error managed to squander a 6-1 9th inning lead. Sept. 18, 2008: at Wrigley -- Solomon Torres blows a 6-2 lead in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs, with Geovany Soto hitting a game tying three run homer. Brewers end up losing in 12. That was the worst loss of the 2008 collapse and probably one of the top 5 worst losses in team history.
