Brewer Wrap-up (Week of June 3)

Going into the series with the hated Cubs, everyone was ready for another big Brewer run after getting 3 outta of 4 from the Marlins. Then the Cubs came in who were struggling then it was off to Texas to face the lowly Rangers. It was not anything, anyone expected it.



On Monday, the Brewers started hitting around Marquis but could not place more than 2 runs during the first couple of innings and held a slight lead into the 7th where Dave Bush met the wall again. He gives up a walk after getting the guy 0-2 then another base hit so Floyd steps up to the plate. Instead of going with Wise, he goes with Brian fuckin' Shouse who I cannot stand because he does not do his job at all. Once again Shouse is awful and gives up a hit to Floyd then Wise gets brought in and he gives up an absoulte gopher to Soriano. Why does Yost have so much faith in Dave Bush, he is historic for hitting the wall and he should have the shortest leash possilbe on him. Tuesday's game featured a ton of offense, the Brewers still had a strong hold on the lead for the entire game but the Cubs showed some grit battling back consistantly with the Brewers plus Vargas pitched well despite having to get out some of his famous jams. Wednesday features Zambrano return after the brawl and he completly dominated the Brewers. The Brewers had a couple oppertunity but they were behind for the entire game due to Felix Pie three run shot. Suppan seems to always pitch pretty well but he is just unable to get run support when he pitches. Once again the Brewers lose another series.

Alot of fans felt confident going into the series against the Rangers, they were sending three guys who had ERA's over 6 and the Brewers sent Cappy and Sheets for the first two games. Cappy who has fallen off the face of the earth after the 5-0 start, got rocked again and put the Brewers in a 7-1 hole. I liked how the Brewers came back to make it a 7-6 game yet Villie makes a rare mistake letting in two more to make it a 9-6 defeat. Then Saturday, Ben Sheets pitched another great game which right now he has been damn near unhittable and then Turnbow looked great in the 8th, furthermore we got two more runs by Graffy so it was a 3-0 advantage with Coco coming in, automatic right? Wrong, he gets two outs then before closing the deal gives up four runs to lose the Brewers third straight game. On Sunday, the Brewers got down quick 3-0 but the bats came out to play as they pounded 22 hits yet once again they could not hit in the clutch leaving 17 men on base which was horrible. Coco for the second straight night blows a save which I believe is all in his head with being back in Arlington. Geoff Jenkins made sure that they wouldnt get swept with a game winner in the 12th.

Going 2-6 this week was a shocker to most and the Brewers are continuing to disappoint their fans.

Later

DEVOTED TO THE TEACHING OF WHOM?

The three thousand who were added to the church of Christ on the Day of Pentecost continued in devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching.

Acts 2:41-42 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. 42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

These Christians devoted themselves to the apostles' doctrine.
They did not devote themselves to the teaching of Moses.
They did not devote themselves to the teaching of Abraham, Job, Noah, John The Baptist, the Roman Catholic Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, the Mormon Church, creed books, statements of faith, the Judaizers, the Watch Tower, the Pentecostal Church, the Pharisees, the traditions of men, etc.

THE TEACHING OF WHOM?
