Brooms are out

Nice to see the Brewers winning the close games and the laughers. It's the first time in a while that I have seen any Wisconsin team win the games they should win and steal a few they shouldn't win.

Motas preformance last night was nothing short of spectacular. No pitcher should be asked to come into a bases loaded situation with no outs and get them out of it. It was also great to see the fans give him such an ovation. To me, it shows that milwaukeeians aren't just drunken idiots, they do actually follow the game.

Fantastic win yesterday after looking like the Pirates were going to put up a crooked number in the top of the 12th. All the more important because St. Louis and Chicago won again. Up next is 2 HUGE games at St. Louis. As long as we don't lose them both, we'll be ok. If we are lucky enough to win both games, we would then have a 5 1/2 game lead in the wild card, and some needed breathing room. Hopefully Sheets picks tomorrow night to rediscover his pre-All Star Game form.

I think the Cardinals are slowly coming down to earth. Aside from pujols that team is just not that flippin good this year. I know they are always playoff contenders and have a pretty good manager but they have overachieved almost the entire year...JMO

Like datrain said, we need to come out of there with one win. If that is the case we have set up septmber with the ball in our court.

Good luck crew.

My mommy is making me steak and lobster for dinner tonight. That's equally as awesome.

If you look at it, they are very similar teams. A couple things that the Cardinals have on the Brewers are; post season veterans, proven clutch hitters (whatever that means) and proabably the most dangerous hitter in baseball.

The Brewers are probably the more well rounded team but if you are looking for the Cardinals to fade, you might want to think again. This is a team that has been here before and will, more than likely, continue to stick around being a thorn for the Crew for the rest of the season.
