The Brewers aren't exactly a franchise steeped with winning tradition. 2011 is the franchise's 43rd season, and they've posted a winning record in just ten of them (2011 record pending).
So armed with that knowledge, you'd think that 0-3 starts were relatively commonplace, right? You'd be wrong. Going all the way back to their lone season as the Seattle Pilots in 1969, I was only able to find four other comparable starts:
| Season | Start | Final Record |
| 2003 | 0-6 | 68-94 |
| 1985 | 0-5 | 67-94 |
| 2001 | 0-4 | 68-94 |
| 1970 | 0-3 | 65-97 |
I don't know what to tell you, because there's really not any good news here. Of the four previous Brewer teams that started 0-3, only one of them won the fourth game. And those four teams finished with an average of 67 wins.
Here's an interesting tidbit to go along with this: Of the five teams to accomplish this feat, three were led by new managers: Dave Bristol in 1970, Ned Yost in 2003 and now Ron Roenicke in 2011.
