I keep a graph that charts the Brewers record .500 over time. It's amazing how this season is dominated by long straight lines in one direction or the other. The trip after the break will be telling, but by then end of the night we may be saying the same thing about the rest of this homestand. If the Cinci monkey can't be thrown off the back, it could be a really long, depressing AS Break with the only light at the end of the tunnel appearing more and more to be like a train.
