Just when you’d thought you’d seen it all, along come the patient Milwaukee Brewers. Who are these guys? At the plate last night the Brewers worked the count, got their pitch, took the occasional walk and actually scored runs. WOW, who knew? You can win by playing smart baseball and not just the grip it and rip it method. 4-1, the Brewers are back in the series…so far.

Here comes game 4 and the raucous Miller Park crowd.

With Dave Bush’s stellar 5 1/3 innings, 1 run performance the Brewers changed their approach when it came to Jamie Moyer as opposed to their plate appearances in Philly earlier this week. Work the count; make Moyer labor, plate the first run and get into the bull pen. That was the key to last night’s victory and thus forcing even more pressure upon the Phillies to close this series out here at Miller Park rather than go home and have to face a fully rested CC Sabathia.
One disappointing note, can Corey Hart play any worse right now? Coming off of his dreadful play in Philly, anger turned to pity as he struck out his first time up, then finally get’s a base knock to extend the 3^rd inning only to get thrown out at first because he rounded the base too far. In the 6^th, Jason Werth drove a long fly ball towards the right field fence as Corey flagged it down, crashed into the fence, rolled backwards and watch the ball flop from his glove. The play was ruled a triple for Werth. The old saying, “If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all” applies here. I hearken back to my childhood when I’d watch the Flintsones. There was a character named Schleprock. He had a continuous black cloud looming over his head. Someone had better check Corey’s family tree to see if he indeed is related to Mr. Schleprock.
