BREWERS COME HOME

By Richard J. Steinberg
Friday, Oct 3 2008, 10:24 AM

The Brewers come home Saturday and the celebration begins to welcome the first playoff team in 26 years. Although, the home team is 2 games down the atmosphere will be much different for them. Many players return to their homes and families and will get the support they need from their loved ones and friends. The extra day off, today, will give the players a chance to get some rest and relaxation before they head for Miller Park on Saturday.

Let the game begin and let the hunger for the taste of victory dominate the desire to win once more.

This is no time to say wait until next year. This is the time to win the next 3 games and with the superb talent at hand our Brewers can and will succeed.

Saturday is the day that our team will brush off the woes of the past and play the game of the day with a zest that has never been seen before.

There is no room for criticism or finger pointing. Baseball is a team game and each athlete on the roster has to be prepared to perform at the highest level of excellence.

To be an underdog is to accept and meet the challenge by doing what they do best. Don't press to hard and the hits will come in droves.

Never say never and show your families, friends and fans that the 2008 Brewers are special.

Somewhere in Miller Park on Saturday  my Son and I will be cheering our own major league team.

The Phillies are now in our house and the Brewers will not let us down.

Home is the best place for a funeral!

Well, that was a pleasant surprise!  Unfortunately, even if they win today, they will have to go back to Philly.  Should they somehow manage to win this series, the Dodgers machine would mow them down.  It's hard to believe they not only swept the Cubbies...they destroyed them!  If our beloved Brew Crew would have to meet them, it would be a "mercy killing" I'm afraid.  I sure like Sveum as the manager.  He manages the bullpen so much better than Yost did!

I was at the game Saturday and it was positive feeling to see cheering fans, happy smiles, and upbeat children. This is enspiring in times of crime reports, political bickering and negative ideas. Baseball is truly American and there will be another season for the young and old to help fthem forget their troubles.

a positive feeling and help them is more proper language, and may I add that a prediction for the future Brewers is coming

I'd be careful about future predictions.  They are going to lose players to free agency because they can't compete with the big markets on long term contracts.  Pitching is and will continue to be their achilles heel.  By the way...I think you meant "inspiring".
