An Open Letter

Dear Milwaukee Brewers,

I don't know how to say this but I think we're over.

Look, it's been an amazing run. It has. You've treated me well most of the time. We've had our laughs and we've had our cries. There's been some monumental celebrations in our time together. Now there's just monumental heartbreak.

I know because I love you I should give you a second chance, hang with you through thick and thin but it's just so hard. It really is. You guys are just terrible. It would be different if I could point a finger at the one to blame but I can't. If it's not the starting pitching, it's the relievers. The bats are hot one day and cold the next. I can't blame Ken Macha, he's just been doing his job. Could he change the batting order? Not stick with the pitchers as long? Maybe but in reality this isn't a managerial issue. Can I blame Doug Melvin since after all this is the team he put together? More then I can blame Macha but who would have thought two solid pitchers-Randy Wolf and Doug Davis- would end up being two of the worse? And then there's the Trevor issue. The man cannot throw anymore. Would anyone have expected that? No. Did they give him the ball in the ninth a few too many times? Yes but they didn't have any other options.

So as you can see Escobar, Braun, Fielder, Counsell, Hart, McGehee, Weeks, Gomez, Edmonds, Zaun, Inglett, Kottaras, Gerut and all you pitchers who aren't worth naming, why I'm feeling like we need to call it quits. Why you've become toxic. You make me angry. You make me depressed. You make me want to scream but most importantly you don't make me happy. And that's not good.


Ok who am I kidding? I'm not going to call it quits on you. I won't. I love you too much for that. It's just frustrating and like that kid in Fever Pitch asked of Jimmy Fallon, have you ever loved me back? And the answer is not lately.

I'd like that to change.

H & K's!

Katie

PS-I've been having a love affair with the San Francisco Giants for about a year now. I'm sorry this is the way to tell you but at this point, you don't deserve better.
