I was grocery shopping from 1:10pm until 3:15 pm...therefore I had no
connection with the Brewers game. They were losing 2-1 when I got out of the
car. When I got back, news was on WTMJ, so I tuned to Tim Allen and Sparky
doing the Brewers Postgame show on WSSP when I learned that Sheets got teh
win, Gagne got the Save. It sounds like Gagne managed to get out of the
inning without giving up a run.

I agree with you there. I rather they don't start out like last year and
either win most of the series games of 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4, etc.. with
a couple of sweeps here and there. But please don't do 24-10. 19-15 would be
fine and above .500.

You are right, its best to be hot at the end when it is most needed in case
you are either ahead or close.

Yeah they are lacking a bit of defense.

How can anyone not see that over the last three years the Brewers have
become the clutch team behind (I love the name) Nedly. I have faith the
teams will clutch a dozen or two before the seasons over. But I always
believed it was the second half that did the Crew in, last years
improvements removing any doubt that any line up and the core group of Hall,
Prince, J.J. Braun, Weeks and Heart will win a lot of games. To quote Nedly
himself, "Ya, it was huge, ya, huge."

The second half or better still July/August meltdown was due mostly to a
fading bullpen. If Nedley thought that was due to overuse, he sure is
making up for it with Derrick "Splinters" Turnbow. Problem is, the lack
of innings can be just as detrimental.
