CC Throw 4th Complete-Game Shut Out




The Nationals baseball club came to Milwaukee yesterday probably knowing they were in for butt kicking. Afterall, the Brewers have won every series since their horrid sweep against Chicago. In fact, Milwaukee is playing some of their best baseball right now. Prince extended his hit streak to 11 games last night. Mike Cameron has been playing with some consistancy, evidence of last night when he went yard (18).


Most important has to be the pitching of CC Sabathia. He has now improved his record to 6-0 since coming to the Brewers. Even more impressive is Sabathia's 4th complete-game shut out. Last night the Vallejo, CA native struck out 9 batters and gave up only 5 hits. Oh, and the future (2008) Cy Young winner only walked 1 fricken player. Outstanding, really.

-Weeks came back to reality last night by going o'fer.

-I listened to the game out in my back yard last night, drinking Miller Lite by the camp fire. While listening to the Jim Powell I remember his saying that the CC trade for LaPorta will still be a success if they don't make it to the playoffs. WRONG. If we don't make it to the playoffs Mr. Powell, the CC trade will be a complete bust. A flop. A tragedy. Not only did we give up the LaPorta , but we also will have proved to the entire league that it is almost impossible for us to make it to the playoffs. Just too small of a market. We have far too many tools and we WILL make the playoffs. If we don't? Bye Ned.


-Hart went o'fer. I hope he starts picking up again. Milwaukee will need him to be full tilt once September hits.

-JJ Hardy may have competition for the heart throb status of Milwaukee. Ryan Braun shot a commercial yesterday afternoon for Remington Hair Care for Men (clippers). Not only did the ROY appear in it, so did the gorgeous Marissa Miller. They shot the commercial behind Brookfield East High. Pretty neat. She is smooking.
