May 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

7th May 2008

I consider the final game of this series as a turning point for the season. As mentioned before the Cubs series is crucial. Game 1 was an offensive explosion, game 2 a complete failure. I want the team to show its real face in game 3. Maybe some moves will be made depending on the outcome. Today we will face Carlos Zambrano who almost signed for the Brewers in off-season.

Game #30 – Milwaukee [14-15] (M. Parra 2-1, 3.86 ERA) at Chicago [16-13] (C. Zambrano 5-0, 4.62 ERA)

CF S. Victorino - 2B R. Weeks - LF R. Braun - 1B P. Fielder - 3B B. Hall - RF G. Gross - SS A. Escobar - C J. Estrada

Milwaukee at Chicago: 5-8

We took the lead in the top of the 4th, 7th and 8th inning. The Cubs tied the tame the bottom of the 4th and 7th - in the 8th they took the game for good. Maybe that bottom of the 8th was a symbol for our season so far. Forgotten the dominant performance by Manny Parra and the impressive season debut by Alcides Escobar. Our bullpen is virtually always a liability to blow games. This time Alan Embree was the villain. Last season his season ERA was 1.57, now he stands at 10.29. Depressing!

W: T. Lilly (2-0), L: A. Embree (0-1)
BS: A. Embree (1)
S: M. Wuertz (6)
HR - B. Hall (3) / E. Patterson (2), D. Rundle (1)
MoM: E. Patterson - 3/5, 1 R, 2 RBI, HR

Our talented 2B Taylor Green (.314, 1 HR, 3 RBI) went 5 from 5 for the West Virginia Power in a 6-8 loss to the Lexington Legends.

With the win the Cubs(17-13) shares the NL Central lead with the Houston Astros. Next up a home series again the 16-14 Florida Marlins.
