SBNation Coverage
Mike Burns pitched about as well as you could expect him to, giving up three runs in 5 2/3 innings. Unfortunately, the Brewers offense couldn't come to his support. Prince Fielder and Casey McGehee hit back-to-back home runs in the 6th and that was it. The other two Brewers hits were a Mike Cameron fifth-inning double and a McGehee single to lead off the ninth.
New Brewer Claudio Vargas pitched the 8th inning and allowed a run on two hits.

On the bright side
Bill Hall had a solo HR and a double in his AAA outing tonight.

the thing is
im just not too pessimistic about the team anymore, the pitching isnt awful, and even when the hitting is awful like tonight, it seems we’ll eventually get things together. seriously how many nights will braun go 0-4? few and far between.
granted i'm not OMG WE'LL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS
but next year at least is promising, its nice to have a team that actually looks like it can contend every once in awhile
Is next year the commit to win year
For the orginization? Most likely It’s the last Braun / Prince offense. I would think just for longterm revenues sake you have to go for it.

I think they can
flip Hardy for a mid-rotation guy, sign a back-end guy, move Soup into the long reliever spot, and pray Bush doesn’t take a liner off the elbow again. Depth would still be terrible past Soup, but if everyone stayed healthy for most of the year they’d be in good shape.
Salome will be catching next year and he has to be better than Kendall.
I’ve seen some speculation that Weeks would work in CF. If you could get him, McGehee, and Gamel on the field at the same time that would be a heck of a lineup. Or maybe move Weeks and re-sign Lopez.
Anyways, there are plenty of options, and I think they should be better next year.
