Brewers (3) vs. Rockies (8) 7/9 -- Tastes Great, Less Filling

Tastes Great:

Bill Hall--Had a couple hits, including a home run.  Also scored two runs.  Hopefully this isn't just an aberration.

Mike Cameron/Ryan Braun--Couple hits for each.

Ben Sheets--Had some pretty nasty stuff.  11 K's in only 6 innings.  That was the problem though...only 6 innings.  The Rockies forced his pitch count up and he couldn't finish out.  That meant the bullpen had to eat up more innings and we saw what resulted.

Less Filling:

Guillermo Mota--The Who's in Right Field? blog has officially given him a vote of No Confidence.  And now we're hearing that he is likely to be designated for assignment and possibly released.  About time.

Brewers offense--Yet another marginal major league starting pitcher (and another former Brewer) made us look like fools.  Pretty sad when we trot out Ben Sheets and they trot out Glendon Rusch and the score ends up like it does.  Disappointing to say the least.  Now we have to win tomorrow just to salvage a series split.  Not a good way to capitalize on the momentum of the last week (JJ's hot streak, All-Star nods, and of course CC's arrival).
