Brewers...this year's Mets?

I can't believe the total collapse of the Milwaukee Brewers. They have lost 13 out of the last 17 games which led to the firing of manager Ned Yost. The Brewers, who looked like they would have a promising postseason, is now struggling to even make it there. They are fighting with the New York Mets for a shot at the NL wild card. The Brew Crew has nine games left to prove themselves.

This year's Brewers are like last year's Mets. Last year it was the Mets who collapsed in the race to the postseason. Is this the year for the Brewers to collapse?

Tonight's game definitely showed that the Brewers are going to have to step it up in every aspect--defense, pitching and offense. They blew a 6-2 lead sending the Cubs-Brewers game into extra innnings. The Cubs went on to win it in 12 innings and took a nine game lead over the Brewers in the NL Central. The Cubs can clinch their division if they win on Friday and the Brewers lose in Cincinati.

The Cubs can almost taste it. They are most definitely in need after a 100 year drought.
But Milwaukee is still tasting the strange brew.

A long Pac-10 season with the zebras

Of course as a fellow U of Washington alumni I am pissed at how yesterday's game against BYU played out. After making it all the way to the 3-yard line in about three and a half minutes, the Huskies had a chance, a glimmer of hope against a team who held the longest winning streak in the nation, with 11 wins.

QB Jake Locker, one of the best running quarterbacks in college football, scored a touchdown with 0:02 seconds on the clock. He threw the ball behind him, nonchalantly, and celebrated with his teammates. I mean COME ON! Who wouldn't celebrate that touchdown? And it was classy celebration, nothing worth calling a penalty on, which the refs did!!! They called a 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration. Totall bullshit(excuse my language) if you ask me, or ask anyone else!!!!


Anyways on the PAT the Huskies had to kick from 15-yards further. No big deal, not until the kicker got blocked and we lost the game by one damn point on a horrible call made by the zebras!

Anyone who's anyone knew that BYU got lucky. UW had a legitimate chance to win it. The excessive celebration penalty was uncalled for. And the zebras cost UW the game. I just hope they know that they messed up and I hope they wear that call for the rest of their lives!
