The Life of a Brewers Fan

After Friday's win and Saturday's dramatic come back it felt great to be a Brewers fan again. Saturday was a huge come from behind victory, Prince Fielder hit a 2 run homer to take the lead and Corey Hart robbed a home run in the 9th inning. Miller Park was the loudest it had been all season and the players were feeding off the fans.

Then comes the series finale on Sunday. The Crew is up 6-1 in the 9th and it looks like a sweep in the making. Matt Wise comes in and totally blows. Cordero comes in, gets to 2 outs with 2 strikes and ends up blowing the save. 6-6, extra innings and the Brewers end up getting bitten by Wes freakin Helms to lose 8-6. Today's game was the lowest point of the entire season. Yesterday was the highest point and today was just a big slap in the face. Yet another blown lead and this was just painful to watch. Right when you think the Brewers are about to bust out of their slump something like this happens.

The Crew has zero consistency. At times they play championship calibur baseball and other times they play like they should be in the cellar. Aside of Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder the lineup has been very inconsistent and the entire bullpen has been inconsistent as well with the exception of Brian Shouse.

Who would have thought following a team that's in a pennant race for the first time in over a decade would be so frustrating? That's just the life of being a Brewers fan.
