Roller coaster (not of love): Brewers 7, Phillies 4

When two teams of the same skill level play each other, you think "OK, this could be some compelling baseball." But when that skill level is, well, crappy, it's not so much compelling as it is tragic and sometimes a little sad.

That's the appropriate lead-in to last night's up and down 7-4 loss to the Brewers.

Each team preyed on the other's weakness and took advantage of mistakes. Early on, the Phillies took advantage of an extraordinarily sloppy inning from the Brewers. And after that, the Brewers took advantage of the fact that Sean O'Sullivan isn't very good and neither are the Phillies.
