Brewers 6 Pirates 3

This was one of those games that was doomed from the beginning by the lineup we put on the field. After Gozellany came out trailing 2-1 in the 7th, I was all ready to write my "Gorzo pitched great by Tracy's ass backwards lineup only scored one run and cost us the game." Jose Bautista ruined that post with his two run homer, which also doubled to get my hopes up. Unfortunately, the bullpen was due for a meltdown and it came tonight. Marte couldn't get anyone out, Torres couldn't strand any of his runners, and Freddy Sanchez misplayed a grounder into an RBI Bill Hall single to put the Brewers up 4-3. As if that wasn't enough, Grabow went back to putting the "L" in "GrabLow" and gave up two more runs in the top of the 8th to put things out of reach. The Pirates still fought back to load the bases with one out in the bottom of the ninth, which prompted this discussion in my house.

Dad: You know a grandslam wins it here.
Me: You know a double play loses it here.
Brother: Why are you so negative? He's going to crush this ball.
Me: It's not negative if it's going to happen. What seems more likely? A grand slam or a double play?
Jeromy Burnitz: I'd say a double play. Ha ha ha (goes to the bank with his $6 million)

If we're anything, we're predictable. Still, the Pirates take all the fun out of being right about something.
