In a giving mood
Loss lets Colorado in playoff door

Standing in a nearly empty dugout about an hour before the game, Ken Macha raved about Manny Parra's raw, natural ability.

The manager of the Milwaukee Brewers praised the Parra for what seems to be limitless potential and an arm and frame capable of supporting his rise.

Then again, the question with Parra, the left-hander the Brewers were counting on to make a huge leap forward this season, has never been his physical capabilities.

It's always been his head and how he has dealt with pressure.

After having a solid September despite missing three starts, Parra wrestled with himself in his final outing and left without making it through the third inning. The poor start helped the Colorado Rockies clinch the National League wild card berth with a 9-2 victory to complete a sweep of the Brewers on Thursday afternoon at Coors Field.

The loss also assured the Brewers will not finish .500 after finishing above the mark the previous two seasons.
Friday's Game:
MIL: Braden Looper
STL: Adam Wainwright
7:15pm CDT
