Box Score
Nothing like a series to with the Astros to cure what ails you. It's even better when a sweep is paired with the Cardinals losing 2 of 3.
With the lead back up to 9.5 games I'm hoping the Brewers will take advantage of their second opportunity to stick a fork in the Cardinals. If not, the avoidance of a sweep would be just dandy, though this leads me to my next point.
I am going to view the next seven games versus the Cardinals and Phillies as a test run for the playoffs. Like a playoff series, I'd like to see the Crew take at least four of the next seven to "advance" though the imaginary playoffs. If the Brewers are in fact a team to be reckoned with in October they will do just that. Or maybe they won't and they'll have a short stay in the post-season (or if they channel the 1964 Phillies, no post-season at all). Either way, this will be a good litmus test to see where the Brewers are at.
Game one starts tomorrow.
