That was the Brewers theme yesterday, and it is starting to feel like the theme for the year.

Yesterday we heard of a positive step in the morning, Joe Dillon was returning to the team and Turnbow was going away. A nice positive step, adding a player who can contribute while getting rid of someone who can't help at all anymore. Then, after that bit of news we heard Yovani Gallardo was probably out for the year with a torn ACL in his right knee.

The only thing that took a little of the sting out of the Gallardo loss was the fact that the Brewers just took the series against the Cubs, the Cubs and Cardinals were going to beat up on each other for a bit, and we were finally heading to a team with a loosing record, the Astros. The opening game looked good, the Brewers were up 4-0 after 4 1/2, but then Villanueva gave up 4 home runs in two innings on the way to a 7-4 Brewers loss.

That feels like the Brewers season so far. They are struggling to stay in place. At some time it would be nice to see them come together and take a positive step forward without taking a step back.
