Things Could Be Worse

Milwaukee Brewers fans have had a tough season so far, but they should know that things could be a lot worse. They could be Padres fans. San Diego is 17-30, the worst record in MLB, they just lost their ace, and tonight another star pitcher was literally knocked out of a game when a ball hit him in the face.

The Brewers made it 2 in a row tonight, behind a strong start by Ben Sheets who went the distance in a 4-1 victory. Milwaukee is now 22-24

Meanwhile, Rickie Weeks has shown some improvement. Remember last Saturday when I mentioned that Ned Yost was sticking with Weeks in the leadoff spot? It's been paying off lately - here are Weeks' numbers going into last Saturday's games vs. his numbers now:

Before Sat. - .187 avg, .315 OBP, .651 OPS, 31 Runs, 29 Hits, 23 Walks, 7 SB, 30 Ks

After Tonight - .206 avg, .332 OBP, .686 OPS, 37 Runs, 36 Hits, 26 Walks, 8 SB, 34 Ks
