How do you come out of a 10 game losing streak?

You beat the NL West leader 9-0.

My new favorite Brewer (he was my new favorite before this) Corey Hart was 2-4 with 2 home runs and 6 RBIs last night.

Doug Davis pitched his best game of the season, a complete game shut out. He walked one batter and notched 8 strikeouts. He also forced batters into 13 groundouts and retired the final 16 batters in order. (DD's last shutout was in May of last year)

All this against a team who's first in team batting average, 4th in runs scored and is well on their way to the playoffs.

The Brewers averaged less than 3 runs per game over the 10 game losing streak, but have outscored the Dodgers 15-3 in just 2 games.



What makes this so frustrating is that one wonders why the team can't play like this on a regular basis. We've seen many, many moments of brillaince, making the many more sub-par moments all that much harder to swallow.

But hooray for Corey Hart. He's labored in obscurity, though he has always been a part of the "youth movement" class with Rickie Weeks, Prince Fielder and J.J. Hardy. Instead of getting a chance, he was forced to stay in the minors, where he did pretty much all he could do and earned some MVP's. He absolutely proved he deserves a chance and is doing so again here in the majors.

At the end of last night's game the FSN guy's had Hart on camera trying to get an interview and Geoff Jenkins hit him with a shaving cream pie to the face. Jenkins was laughing, but I'm thinking every one of Hart's RBIs last night were another nail in Jenkins' coffin.
