The Brewers take back to the field today after a days rest and dropping 3 out of 4 games in Miller Park south to the Chuckin’ Fubs. For the 1st 2 games the Brewers lost 5-9 and 1-2, but came back in game 3 to smash 11-2, but only popped 2 scores to the Cubs 8 in game 4. Add this to the list of inconsistent play that Brewers have now brought into this season’s equation. Last June the Brewers went 16-10 compared to this years 12-15. The Brewers are already 6 days plus some change into July and have only pulled off 1 win. Not the best way to start the month, especially since St. Louis is coming to town for a 3 game home series. The Brew Crew are a full 1 game behind the Cards, but 22-18 at home. The Cards are 21-19 on the road so really this going to be a good fackin’ series before the All Star break if the Brewers get rid of their inconsistent play and handle some fackin’ business, or else eveyone is catch #FAIL, including the Brewer’s All Star duo Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. Speaking of the two, there’s some damn good reasons why both of these crewers (yes, i said it) were voted to the All Star ballot. Prince Fielder is batting .313 with a .439 on base percentage. Fielder has gone yard 22 times and batted in 76 RBIs which are 6 behind league leader Albert Pujols. Ryan Braun has smacked 100 hits so far this season with a .326 batting average and .409 on base percentage. Braun has 16 home runs, 58 RBIs and a total of 59 runs, 7 behind leagure leader Albert Pujols. If you haven’t noticed this season, Albert Pujols is on the juice just fuckin’ smashing shit left and right and playing great defense too, damn him. In about 5.5 hours the Brewers will take the field with Yvonni Gallardo on the mound who’s 8-5 for the season vs. Cards’ pitcher Adam Wainwright who is also 8-5 on the season. If the Brewers are able to pick up 2 out of the 3 against the Cards plus another 2 against the Dodgers in the next series, they’ll be sitting nice going into the second half of the season, even without C.C.

It’s Hump Day!!! For most of us it’s the middle of the unsatisfactory work week where we still have Thursday and Friday to finish meetings, projects and some other shit we just don’t want to do like photo shoots and dinners with the in-laws. Not for all of us though.
For the Brewers it’s another day to take sole possession of 1st place in the NL Central. It’s the day where the Brewers are top dog, the pole sitters, chief muthafuckin’ chiefs of their fuckin’ division. After getting smacked, and I mean smacked like when you were 6 years old and cussed for the first time in front of your Grandmother, by the Florida Marlins 3-10 yesterday and 4-7 the day before.
The Brew crew are 31-22, a half game ahead of the St. Louis Cards and an entire 4.5 games behind the league leading Anaheim Angels. And please fuck the Cubs who are 4 games behind us thanks to Zambrano’s cup checking after every pitch, trying to throw an umpire out of the game and then beating the shit of a beverage dispenser on the way into the clubhouse. Kudos, bitch. What’s even better about all of this is the fact that while Ryan Braun aka Braunie and the Brew crizzle were getting in Cinci’s ass with a sweep last weekend, everybody was out kicking it Friday night for the launch of Braunie’s Remetee shirt co. at Decibel on Friday night. (Shamless plug: for pictures, click right about here!) Look at this though, the Brewers went 14-10 last season during the month of June. We catch that some production this year, fuck it we’re going back to the playoffs where Philadelphia can suck my dick ’cause technically they’re really a half game ahead of us so eat it and you do the math.
Right now I’m adding up this 9-6 victory over the Marlins tonight. Braunie schillacked a 2 run HR in the top of the 3rd that put the Brewers up 3-0 til the top of the 4th. The Marlins scored 1 run in the bottom of the inning. Ooooooooo! The Brewers finally remember what happened to them the previous 2 games and got offensive with it. I’m talkin’ 6 runs in the top of the 5th inning, putting the Brewers up 9-4 at the bottom of the 5th with 4 innings to go. ::singing:: Sky rockets in flgith! Peww!!! afternoon delight!! All they had to do was hold on. Seth McClung came in a pitched it out ontop of the mound recording the W for us after Braden Looper went hard for 7.2 innings, with 7 hits and 5 runs. If only I too could have been in that 82 degree warm, June type weather to watch it all go down. I will settle for another serving tomorrow at 6:10pm while I watch Dave Bush (3-1) battle it out on the mound against Marlins’ sling gunner Josh Johnson(4-1), all probably.

After 7 games the Brewers are sitting at 2 -5, 2nd to last in the NL Central, which is 1 game above the Houston Astros, 1.5 games behind the Cincinnati Reds and 3.5 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals. In the season series opener the Brew crew only managed 1 win against the Giants and then another in the home opener against the Chicago Cubs. In the Cubs series, the Brewers went on to lose the last 2 games 5-6, then 5-8 which isn’t bad, just shows we are competitive, can put points on the board, but need to finish things off. In last nights lost to the Reds, the Brewers were up 5-1 going into the top of the 3rd, until Yavoni Gallardo just seemed to fall off the mound. In 5 innings, Gallardo gave up 3 hits, 7 runs, 4 walks. The majority of which came in the 3rd inning. Gallardo finished with a 6.94 era. :-( Corey Hart showed up at the plate last night with 2 hits, 3 rbi’s and 1 run, including going yard on Red’s pitcher Volquez in the 2nd with 2 outs. This game may have hurt the Brewers a little bit, but none more than Rickie Weeks, when he took it to the face while trying to bunt in the 4th inning. Rickie Weeks hit by pitch The Brewers stil have a chance to close out against the Reds tonight and tomorrow at Miller Park. Tonight Manny Parra will be on the mound trying to get off to a better start than what he did against the Giants. The Reds have Bronson Arroyo on the mound who is already 1-0 season having pitched 6 innings with 8 hits, 5 earned runs and 4 strike outs against the Mets.
