It’s been a tough weekend to be a Brewers fan. To keep things simple, I’ll just list off what made it so hard.

1. Losing a 7-1 lead to one of the worst teams in baseball.

2. Losing Corey Hart for a month just as he’s starting to come around.

3. Having Bill Hall return so quickly without getting many at-bats at Nashville. So much for a chance to turn it around.

4. I hate disagreeing with Doug Melvin, especially on something I normally love, which is his ability to find the free talent out there and turn it into something useful, but I can’t help but think that Corey Patterson may be stretching it a bit. Claudio Vargas, on the other hand, was exactly what he needed to do, get an arm for a player we’d never use again anyway, most likely.

5. Ending the weekend under .500 isn’t a great way to show that things are turning around.

That’s all I have, for the moment. Hopefully I’ll be posting about some positives next time around.
