Let The Pains Begin

So much for Jason Marquis bringing his A-game into tonight's matchup. Uggh.

However, Marquis was up against an equally craptastic counterpart in the Brewers' excuse for a hurler who was/is also slinging ineffective pitches at the plate. So I can't help but wonder why WE aren't sitting on four or five runs as well.

Offense, boys. We need offense.

And while I continue to sit here baffled by our current state of affairs, I can't help but ask: Why is Encarnacion in the game? Where is Jim Edmonds, Chris Duncan, Scott Spiezio or Skip Schumacher for that matter? What on earth possessed Aaron Miles to throw the ball with the runner already safe at first? Did we think we could win this game without our best starting nine (plus or minus X) out on the field? And lastly, can we blame the Brew Crew for hitting everything they can to right field? (After all, it's not as if our weak link out there is an ancient Chinese secret.)
