Game 15: Brewers 6, Phillies 1

Great Phillies offense
Reduced to tatters again
Pitching staff shows life
-dz

Live box score
Flashes Matt Stairs' long home run
Maybe next time, Bush
-dz

No-no into Eighth
Bush hurls a gem, Crew taking
series from Phillies.
-ck

Braun is on fire
gets to Phils' Lidge in Ninth, who
then drills Prince, high heat.
-ck

Game 12: Brewers 4, Phillies 11

Rains fall, extending
Seventh, offense just dreary,
Crew falls in Philly.
-ck

Silver in the clouds
Braun swats a pair, drives in four,
Five hits, career best.
-ck

Swirling playoff ghosts
Mock last year's optimism
Hollow sweeping thud
-db

Milwaukee's new era:
Phillies the new Cardinals
'82 replaced
-db

Game 8: Brewers 1, Reds 6

Things might get much worse
Road trip to Mets and Phillies
Right around corner
-dz


Last year's magic gone
Powerful wizard needed
Macha no Merlin
-db


Down two in the ninth
Carlos V still coughs up three
Team's infectious cold
-db

October 4 - Brewers 4, Phillies 1 (playoffs!)

Towels waving like
Emotion given substance
And white untucked shirts
-DZ

Couldn't see Hart's drop
Hidden in right field corner
Only flaw of night
-DZ

Hardy and Bill Hall
Fielding like Ozzie and Brooks
Gloves golden for night
-DZ

Three games, no dingers
Fielder and Braun simmering
Waiting to explode
-DZ

October 2 - Brewers 2, Phillies 5 (playoffs!)

Another short rest
Leads to some control issues
CC is human
-DZ

With bases loaded
One out in the first inning
Wishing Hart struck out
-DZ

Here is the shocker
Pitching over eight innings
Bullpen still perfect
-DZ

Where have you gone Gabe
Kapler? Milwaukee turns it's
Lonely eyes to you
-DZ

Oct. 1 - Brewers 1, Phillies 3 (playoffs!)

Free runs dumb errors
No clutch hits down zero one
Season's old story
-MHB


Cameron runs back
Glove arm stretches into rain
Ball falls to wet turf
-DZ

Stayed within striking
Battled and fought to end but
No three run homer
-DZ

Mitch, Carlos, Manny,
Mota-- four innings, no runs--
Can't blame the bullpen
-DZ

Sept. 14 - Brewers 1, Phillies 6 (doubleheader)

Unwatchable game

Franchise's pride exhausted

Collapse complete

-db

Next season advice: 

Vomit on yourself in May

No September choke

-db 

Sept. 14 - Brewers 3, Phillies 7 (doubleheader)

Off-season moves haunt:

Braun's defense scores losing run

Bullpen can't keep close

-db

No chance of winning

Always sunny in Philly

Total acceptance

-db

Sept. 13 - Brewers 3, Phillies 7

Wait, what just happened? 

Fielder, Braun hit HRs? 

Hope on sinking ship

-db

Homeruns in past month

Jason Kendall 1, Braun 1.

Today's Bash Brothers! 

-db

Two first-class tickets,

A beach, sun, mojito ...

Parra needs a rest 

-db

Sept. 11 - Brewers 3, Phillies 6

Loss after more losses

Dries up the poet's inkwell

We're falling behind

-db

Don't know what to say
Other than this season is
Slip sliding away
-DZ

September 10 - Brewers: 4 Reds: 3

Cameron's clutch hit
Ends home stand with four game lead
Calendar dwindles
-DZ


All right, moving on ...
Done with nothing-to-lose gang
High stakes in Philly
-db

September 3 - Brewers: 2 Mets: 9

Crew, Cubs, Phils all lose
Wait-- who is that behind us?
Astros back in race!
-DZ


Spying October
Wrong end of the telescope
Big games come up small
-db

April 24 - Brewers 1, Phillies 3

Took day off for game
Brewers lackluster, but still
Better than working.
-DZ


Leaning off first base -
Break with pitch! Not going home ...
Run down to no where
-DB



Game story

April 23 - Brewers 5, Phillies 4

Rally in the ninth
T-Bow's arrow finds the mark
Forgiven - for now
-DB


Lefty v. lefty
Fielder douses burnt coals
Goes back for seconds
-DB


Crowd rises to feet
For player wearing red cleats
Welcome back Jenkins
-DZ


Eerie deja vu
Turnbow save, Prince two HRs
Same day, year later
-DB
