Today,Wednesday, October 1, 2008, was the first Brewers post season game in 26 years. The Brewers late rally in the 9th inning fell short as the Phillies starting pitcher was almost flawless, and the Brewer bullpen was solid.
But again the Brewers lack of ability to drive in runs was very costly. Watch their new manager make some changes in the batting order to get back to "small ball", and not hope against hope for home runs.
The decision to start a pitcher just coming off rehab may haunt the Brewers although the opportunities were present to overcome that.
My observation is that the 2008 Milwaukee Brewers have enough fire power to win playoff games and go to the World Series with their front line pitchers and a little luck.
The odds are on our side tomorrow with C.C. on the mound and hopefully better weather. Home run hitters don"t do well in the rain but the bunt is hard to handle and leads to runs.
Well, my chance to be at Miller Park is Saturday.
