Kick to the Groin

Brewers 3 and Rangers 4
This one hurt a lot. I have already mentioned the need to win at least two against the miserable Texas Rangers and last night we came out of the gates and flopped. Tonight though looked like vintage Brewers, Sheets pitched brilliant for seven innings and then we found a way to lose. This was CoCo's first blown save of the season, and it was a head scratcher. He got the first two outs of the inning, one strikeout and one groundout to himself. He then let the next four batters score after being ahead 0-2 to all of them and only one of them hit him hard. This is one of those sucker punch games, not just because of the loss, but because of the way we lost and when. With Sheets on the mound we had managed to avoid a prolonged slump, but this doesn't look good now. If your team starts 24-10, and is only at five hundred at the all star break, can you get fired? Yost has to shake some things up, we need some confidence from somewhere.
