"Right Now It's Fun To Be A Brewer"

The Brewers are clicking on all cylinders again after walking off this afternoon to take the series from the Yanks. Matt Garza toughed out five solid innings after having a rough first inning in which the Yankees scored three of their five runs. Rickie Weeks looks like he hopped in a time machine back to when he was an All-Star in 2011 and was the key to the last two Brewers wins. In my last post I said Weeks was gonna have a big day Saturday off CC Sabathia but I didn't see his day today coming. Roenicke gave Weeks the nod again and he went 3-5 with a couple runs knocked in and a huge double in the 9th to set up the walkoff single by Reynolds. The Brewers continue to prove they are the real deal overcoming K-Rod's first blown save of the season in which he gave up a game tying homer to Teixera in the 9th. A series win is always sweeter when it comes against teams like the Yankees, and the Brewers are now 5-1 against them and the Red Sox this season. I was at the game Friday but I wish I had been there for either of the wins so I didn't have to listen to Yankee "fans" embarrass themselves by being sore winners. A team that spends that kind of money should win against a team like the Brewers who have over a hundred million dollars less of a team salary, but I guess that's what makes baseball great. Anytime they can steal wins without Braun or Ramirez in the lineup says volumes about the team too. Braun expects to return Tuesday and Roenicke said after the game Ramirez might be able to avoid the DL. The best team in the majors pads their 5.5 game lead over the Cardinals in the central, and will be back in action Tuesday against the Pirates. Mark Reynolds said it best after the game: "Right now it's fun to be a Brewer."
