The Brewers look to wrap up their nine game/ten day road trip with an extra innings win over the Reds.

Except they don't... losing 4-3 in 10. Back to back jacks huh? Well that stings.

The Wave look to write a storybook ending to today's playoff game. Veteran Michael King scores a goal in the fourth quarter to pull the home team within a point of the leading Blast. Did I mention he's been in the league for 22 years AND announced his retirement several months ago AND that the Wave were down one game to Baltimore in a two game series AND that today was King's 45th birthday? Hollywood couldn't script it any better.

But this one doesn't have a happy ending either. The Wave lose 14-13 ending their season.

The Admirals look to take a 2-1 game lead on rival Chicago in the Calder Cup Playoffs tonight at the Bradley Center.

The fans get an extra session out of these guys too but former Admiral Darren Haydar lights the lamp for the visitors in overtime to help Chicago win 4-3.

Tough day to be a local sports fan. Tougher still to sit through all three.

Here's hoping tomorrow's better.

I agree with you 100%. As the song goes, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow. It's only a day away." Anyway, I just hope that Eric Gagne (aka Nickname: "Bag of Potato Chips") can become more consistent. I don't know, he just looks like he LOVES potato chips. However, the season is still young and as Yost says, its a marathon, not a sprint. So "Bag of Potato Chips" will get another shot, hopefully he will not blow his next save opportunity. However, I really love his goggles. I need to get a pair of those.

Well, at least "Bag of Potato Chips" didn't blow the lead yesterday. I hope Yost doesn't give up on him and Gagne goes "stale." Sorry, bad pun,I'll stop now...

I'm the newest face in the FOX 6 sports department... and I love tapping out little sports blogs to inform, entertain and encourage conversation. I'll be on the desk this fall for the High School Blitz (Fridays @ 10:20pm), the Saturday sportscasts (6, 9 & 10) and joining the veterans every Sunday for the Fox Six Blitz! Most other days, you can find me bouncing around Milwaukee's sport scenes working on feature reporting. Got an opinion? We've got the perfect place to share them! Blog away! You know we will!
