Brewers lost twice to worse team in baseball; Cordero finally blows a save

While I'm incredibly disappointed in the outcome of this series, I've been on record before saying that there was on way Cordero would keep the pace he's been on.

That being said, I can't believe we blew a 3-0 lead in the 9th to the frickin' Rangers. With two outs. And nobody on. And it's Cordero's former team. I mean, if you're going to self-destruct, do it in grand fashion, right?

You know, these are the Rangers who have lost 12 of the last 16 and currently hold the worst record in the league.

From ESPN.com: "The comeback spoiled an impressive outing by Brewers starter Ben Sheets, who gave up five hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six and walked two and was in line to win for the sixth time in his last eight starts.Texas didn't get an extra-base hit off Sheets and advanced only one runner as far as third base. Derrick Turnbow retired the side in order in the eighth inning, but the Rangers broke through against Cordero."

If I were our starting staff, I'd be mighty frustrated with the bullpen.
Dave Bush, Sunday night's starter, has been victimized by three blown saves in his 12 starts and the Brewers have lost his last five starts.
Sheets pitched 7 scoreless innings last night and didn't get the win.
Cappy threw a beautiful game last week only to have it thrown away by Turnbow.

It's so frustrating to see a team have so many pieces fitting together not be able to pull games out in the end. We have to get something happening in the bullpen or it's going to be a long season. Matt Wise is NOT THE ANSWER. Jose Cappellan is NOT THE ANSWER.

i am so upset with their recent play. right now Bush has the bases loaded and no outs and 1 run in already. Bush needs to be demoted. Bring up the rookie now!!

it's frustrating to see the Brewers playing so poorly when they were playing so well earlier.
