In the News (5/7)

Today's Game: Marlins 6, Brewers 2
Record: 16-17, fourth
Games Behind Cubs: 2.5

And the Brewers are under .500, but hey, at least they scored... And the Cardinals and Cubs lost too...

- A Marlin rookie making his sixth career start made the Brewers look foolish.

- Bill Hall tries to pull everything and it shows. He went 0-4 tonight and struck out three times. He's now batting .210 on the season. He was ninth in MLB in strikeouts before tonight, but is probably in the top five now.

- Bush was not good in his return to the rotation. He gave up six runs in six innings.

- The Brewers win when Fielder hits. I'd point out how foolish that is, but the numbers are actually pretty striking.

- Another story on the Brewers' ridiculously bad hitting stats.

- Jim Powell checks in with some audio. And a Corey Hart interview HERE.

- BrewersNation takes a shot at predicting the 2011 Brewers' roster.

- The Brew Town Beat points out that no starter besides Ben Sheets has won a game since April 5. I know it hasn't always been the starters fault, but that is just pathetic...

- Anthony Witrado of the Journal-Sentinel answers fans' questions.

- Yost is trying to keep the bullpen fresh.

- Ken Rosenthal says there is reason for hope for the Brewers' hitters and other slow starters.

- The Bucky Channel takes a look at Telly Hughes, the part-time Brewers Live personality.

- Cole Gillespie was the Sports Bubbler Brewers' prospect of the week.

- So, this Nate McLouth guy on the Pirates is on pace for something like a 150 RBI, 150 run, 50 home run season. Should we start paying attention? In all seriousness, McLouth appears to be a legit player (though not THAT good). He's likely won a starting job for some time now.
