Game One Hundred and Sixty: Pirates 9, Brewers 8

Box Score

Well what do you know, the Pirates can win a game at Miller Park. The Bucs did everything in their power to give the game to away, but apparently the Brewers had no interest in winning tonight. The Brewers failed to score with the bases loaded and nobody out in the 1st, the bases loaded and one out in the 8th, and worst of all, with the tying run at third and nobody out in the 9th. Against the Pirates. At Miller Park. Where the Pirates had only won three games since 2007.

So yes, tonight's game did not make me feel good. With home field advantage in the NLDS on the line and a 1.0 game lead on the D-Backs, this was a very important game for the Brewers to win. The silver lining is that that D-Backs lost tonight, so the Brewers are still in the drivers seat. Of course, 2.0 games up feels much better than 1.0.
