Brewers vs. Pirates series
I can't recall a series that's EVER been this lopsided before.
Game 1: Brewers win 8-1 Game 2: Brewers win 8-0 Game 3: Brewers win 20-0 Holy crap. Makes me feel not quite so bad about our recent play. Anybody ever recall a more screwy series?

Re: Brewers vs. Pirates series
"Go back to the basement!" the Brewers proclaimed.
And didn't the Reds have a series like that in 04 against the A's?

Re: Brewers vs. Pirates series
I think this was meant to make me feel better, but it only reminds me that we got swept by the team that is getting murdered here.

"At least we aren't the Pirates" Reds slogan since 2001.

Game 1: A's 13 Reds 2 Game 2: A's 10 Reds 6 note: Arthur Rhodes got the save for Oakland. :O) Game 3: A's 17 Reds 8 At least the Reds scored some runs in that series. I think the Pirate smackdown is worse.

Re: Brewers vs. Pirates series
Pirates expected W-L is now 3-11 and have allowed 18 runs more than anybody else.

Re: Brewers vs. Pirates series
Series like this happen across baseball. Its the nature of playing 162 games over the course of a season. Even the Pirates and Royals will sweep a series or two. Sometimes they sweep good teams. IIRC years ago with Lou as Tampa Bay's manager when they were lowly they had the Yankees number.

Re: Brewers vs. Pirates series
The Pirates brought in their closer today down by 15 ... a guy coming off arm problems no less. Can you imagine if Dusty did that with Cordero?

Re: Brewers vs. Pirates series
The Brewers certainly got untracked this week. That team should be fun to watch this season (which it has been for the past few years as well). In particular, Ryan Braun may be entering superstar territory.
