Brew Crew

Well you have to give the Brewers credit, they sure make the games interesting. They pulled it off last night in the bottom of the ninth (after almost giving the game away in the top of the ninth) winning 8-7 making it three straight games of "walk off" wins and pushing their record to two games over .500 at 21-19.

As my wife would I'm sure back up, I was livid during the top of the ninth when they went into the inning with a 7-4 lead and Derrick Turnbow coming in to shut the door. He gave up a quick run and Ned Yost pulled him causing me to let out a "Nooooooooo" unlike any other. They bring in a "left handed specialist" who then goes on to allow the game to be tied. Killing me.

Apparently the Crew just wanted to have another heroic win as Geoff Jenkins (pictured left) singled in the winning run with 2 outs. I would be much more comfortable with a standard 3-run win with Turnbow getting the save though anyday. Todaythey go for the sweep of the Phillies who was the hottest team in baseball winning 13 of 14 before coming to Miller Park.
