Brewers 9 Mets 6

Another horrible game. The picthing staff is falling apart. Jose Lima was good, but he ran out of gas in the 5th inning. Obviously, he is not the answer. And his next two starts could come against the Cardinals and the Yankees. That's a recipe for disaster. They need to make a move or bring in Heilman from the bullpen.

But that's a problem now too because the back end of the bullpen sucked last night. Bradford, Oliver and Bell all got killed.

Cliff Floyd and Kaz Matsui are killing this team with their inability to get a hit with men on base.

The David Wright tag play on Brady Clark at third base reminded me of Gerry McNamara's shot against Cincinnati in the first round of the Big East Tournament. If Wright gets there half a second sooner the inning is over and Lima gives up 1 run in 5 innings. Instead the next batter hits a bases loaded double. If G-Mac misses that chuck against Cincy, SU is out in the first round, they don't win the next 3 games, they don't get a 5 seed, he's not the most clutch player in the nation and his career is remembered as a huge disappointment. All that changed because of one inch either way on both plays.

Prince Fielder is gonna be a damn good hitter someday.

The most enjoyable part of the game was the visit from Bob Uecker.
"What keeps you in Milwaukee?"
"My parole officer."
