April 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

12th April 2008

Now on the agenda: a trip to Barry Bonds less (he signed a 2 year contract worth $ 36,080,000 with the Florida Marlins, where he is a bench player) San Francisco Giants. Our team leader Cesar Izturis remembered us that we had a very good record against the Giants last season. And that this series must be a turning point! The Giants lost four in a row, which means they are almost as cold as we.

Game #7 – Milwaukee [0-6] (Y. Gallardo 0-0, 7.20 ERA) at San Francisco [2-4] (J. Sanchez 0-0, 9.64 ERA)

LF S. Victorino - RF L. Cain - 2B R. Weeks - 3B R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - CF B. Hall - SS L. Rivas - C H. Blanco

What a great game this was. Everything went very smooth until Mr. Cruz and Mr. Cordero started the bottom of the 9th with a 7-3 lead. As our bullpen is quite overused there weren't many options left. Cruz pitched a perfect 8th, so why pull him before the 9th having a lead? Anyway he allowed a runner on 1st and 2nd, before our "closer" came in to mess away also this game. 2 extra base hits and a wild pitch were all the Giants needed for their walk off victory. Now we are 0-7 and would even lose to George W's White House All Stars at the moment.

W: B. Wilson (1-0), L: F. Cordero (0-1)
H: J. Capellan (1), A. Embree (1), J. Cruz (1)
BS: F. Cordero (1)
HR - / R. Durham (1)
MoM: R. Durham - 2/4, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI

Elsewhere:

The Reds catcher Dave Ross homered thrice in 6-4 win over the Braves.
Both expansion teams won again and improoved to 4-3. This means they have combined less losses than the reigning World Series champion Milwaukee.

We decided to place Lorenzo Cain on the 15 day DL. He was injured through a collission at home plate. Franklin Gutierrez will get his chance.
