The Brewers don't consider their post-season hopes dead yet.
But, they better have the paddles ready.
Manager Ned Yost's crew is not playing today, which is a good thing. The Brewers have lost 11 of their last 15 games to fall a season-high six games below .500 (48-54) when they dumped a 8-4 decision to visiting Pittsburgh on Wednesday, their second loss in three tries against the league's worst team. The Cincinnati Reds, who lead the National League wild-card race, roll into town for a three-game series beginning Friday night.
"We've got the biggest series of the year coming up," said left fielder Carlos Lee, who may or may not be entering his final weekend with the Brewers as the deadline for making trades without waivers approaches. "We've got to start sweeping some people."
