Brewers SOUL CRUSH

Great opening day for 8 innings. Brewers looked as good as advertised, but the weaknesses that everyone was talking about reared their HIDEOUS head. Suspect defense, an unproven bullpen, a serious lack of depth. The golden child of last years disappointing season John "Stash" Axford shit the bed hanging a 93MPH fastball waist high in the 9th inning with two on. Shit decision by Lucroix, unless Axford just missed the pitch that badly. It sucked to watch a possible HUGE win to start the year get destroyed by one awful moment. Why couldn't the ball drift foul? Why couldn't the 3rd base ump give McGahee the tag-out call? It's little things that lose one game, but possibly, if it continues, ruin a very good, young team with little depth. You just have to hope Marcum and Greinke come back healthy and better than ever, but the bullpen absolutely HAS to improve. Who is going to come in and be untouchable for one inning a game? It seems like a painful season may be upon us, but maybe, just maybe they can hit their way through some rough patches and the group of starters can hide the bullpens inadequacies for awhile longer. Axford can't hang 93mph shit gut-high anymore, that I know is a fact.
