The Brewers managed to salvage a second win on their six game homestand behind the bat of Mike Cameron, who went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and two home runs. The team jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before allowing three unanswered runs to tie the score, but the offense picked up Braden Looper with five runs in the bottom of the sixth, getting him his first win as a Brewer.

Let's compare
Looper’s ERA: 3.27
CC Sabathia’s ERA: 4.50
Clearly, we made the right call.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
another right call..
mike cameron .370/.500/.815
melky cabrera .333/.333/.333
Look at that consistency out of Melky though.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

Nice to see Coffey closing the game
Obviously not a save situation, I just hope this means Coffey is the new closer. He has been our best pitcher.
The crowd cheered like mad when Coffey came sprinting in
And a fan-favorite was born…

Coffey Run!
Sure is.
I just wonder why Riske wasn’t given the 9th for a few batters/baserunners. Up 6 means we could have spared at least a run for some work.
I seriously wonder if they are considering releasing him when Hoffman becomes available
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
Doubt it
We are on the hook for 9million (4.25 09, 4.5 10, 11 .25 buy out). He’ll get his fair share of starts minor league rehabs. It took us how long to dumb Turnbow and he was one year 3 million.
I really want to like Riske.. but he’s making it really hard. I really really hope he figures it out.
Wow.. so share of starts is “fair share or minor league rehabs” and “dumb Turnbow” = “dump Turnbow”.
Wow.. so share of starts is “fair share or minor league rehabs” and “dumb Turnbow” = “dump Turnbow”.Just got home from the game, a bit tired.
Easy there, chief
Why don’t you just sit this one out.

Awww....
I’m sorry that Micah had to take the brunt of the Brew Crew’s pounding. :-(
