Can any team break more hearts then the Brewers?

Not out yet, though I was in the same frame of mind when you originally posted this.

It has been a bad luck season. First Sheets and Ohka went down. Wow, was that a brutal strech watching Hendrickson and DeLaRosa get rediculasly pounded coinciding with Capuano and Bush's worst slumps at that time.

When Hardy went down, big deal, Hall can now play, then Koskie and Weeks went down and oh shit, we need Hardy.

Finally they get some solidity with their rotation and suddenly, Turnbow implodes. Finally, there is some consistency again and they are on a little hot streak.

Point of this posting:

Keep an eye on the Brewers this weekend!

This four game series against the Marlins could determine their season. If they go 3 and 1 or better, they could make a push towards playoff contention. If they go 1 and 3 or worse, you can pretty much go into "next year" mode. If they go 2 and 2, it gets tough, but still plausible.

Also, the Marlins are only one game behind the Brewers, so the same goes for them.
