     OK, let's count 'em up.

     The Brewers have suffered five straight losses-all on this road trip.

     If they don't win tomorrow (Thursday night), Ned Yost's boys will have been swept in back to back three game series.

     After enduring a 22 inning scoreless streak, the Crew finally broke through when Rickie Weeks walloped a two run homer in Florida-his fifth of the season was like the other four-a BOMB!

     But, instead of igniting the anemic offense, Weeks blast was the only noise all night.

     They lost, 6-2, to some rookie named Burke Badenhop-the kid came into the game with a fat earned run average of seven point two zero!

     At 16 and 17, the Brewers fell below the five hundred mark for the frist time since August 30th of last year.

     I won't blame Manager Ned Yost-I'm just not in that camp.

     But I know that Big Boss Mark Attanasio expects a lot more bang than he's getting for his buck right now. 

     I'm also aware that he's holding EVERYBODY accountable in a year of high expectations.
