I'm left to wonder how MLB can continually allow umpires to be the aggressor's in these situations. Bush said his peace, turned around walking back to the mound, while Rapuano follows him, barking, and proceeds to get in front of Bush. Get your butt back behind the plate & blend into the game like you're supposed to.
Not to mention anything that has passed over the inside line of the right-hand batters box is a strike tonight. Consistently shitty is still shitty. I would think striving to be consistently right would be the goal.
Not to be outdone, I think umpires in my local softball league would've clearly seen Braun's catch was not even half a foot close to being an actual catch.
As Bill would say... My Goodness.

Brewer Moves
And the restructuring of the bullpen begins...
Estrada pitched well, Axford has been a nice shot in the arm, and now according to Al, Braddock (he of the pitching ilk, not Chuck Norris)may well be on his way up.
Also, congrats to young Mr. Lucroy on his promotion to the bigs. Small sample, he hasn't set the world on fire in AAA, but with Kottaras' steady play, he should get some nice opportunities to impress.

Crew Hit Hard By Injuries
Hoffman ineffective (usually a sign of injury after prolonged success), Edmonds with back problems, Hawkings with arm problems, Zaun with a shoulder injury... who would've thought the geriatric crowd would break down.
Reasons To Come In Off The Ledge
As promised, my reasons not to give up on the Brewer's season, presented in sevenfold;
1)75% of the season still needs to be played. On May 29, 2009, the Colorado Rockies were 18-28 and still made the playoffs.
2)The offense is still formidable - 7th in MLB in scoring (it's the -18 run differential that'll get ya)
3)We may not have too much longer to watch one of the best tandems in baseball hitting back to back. Prince & Braunie are so good in their mid 20's, we often forget how good they really are.
4)It's great to see Casey McGehee having a successful sophomore season, especially after the sCrUBS gave up on him.
5)We have been able to bask in the sheer awesomeness of John Axfors's "Meathead" Stivic 'stache.
6)It beats the hell out of hearing about Packer OTA's. I realize this is Packer country, but, honestly, it's 4 months away. Do we really need to hear about Joey Shitpants, the new street free agent water dispersal specialist being given a look as the emergency onside kicker?
7)Baseball is still the greatest game ever invented.
