The Brewers came into St. Louis with the opportunity to essentially wrap up the division by avoiding the sweep. The accomplished that goal in the first game when Wolf rebounded from an awful start the week before to shut down the Cardinals. This pushed the lead back to 10.5 games and wiped out the ground the Cards gained in the process.
Tonight the Brewers got a solid start from Gallardo and accumulated plenty of baserunners, but were unable to drive them home and lost 4-2. I was not nervous watching this game and I will not be nervous during tomorrow night's game. With that said, I'd love to see the Brewers clinch the division as soon as possible and the quickest way to do that is by beating to Cardinals.
There is not much more that needs to be said about the Brewers right now. Even with their hiccup against the Cardinals last week (and the loss tonight), they're 36-14 since the all-star break. The one non-concern I had about the team is that Ron Roenicke would turn into Ned Yost, causing the Crew to become tense and collapse. Any lingering fears about that were dispelled by this photo.
So yes, I am feeling very comfortable right now. But as always, I will not be totally anxiety-free until the division is clinched.
