August 2011 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

26th August 2011


The first sweep of the season against Mets was a painful one, especially when you keep in mind that this could easily have been the 1st playoff round. A team that owns the leagues best offense. After the break we are playing below .500. Next up the Pirates, a team we usually control.
