This was a really nice win for the Brewers to put us over .500 again at 20-19. We have won 4 of our last 5, and it feels great right now. Also, Gagne has got to be thrilled. The Cubs have a very easy schedule coming up, so hopefully they dont run away with this for now and put a lot of distance between us and them. The Cards are the Cards, and are going to win their games. They will be a pain in our neck all season. As for Houston, they are playing great right now. But they have a brutal schedule coming up as well. We are actually in pretty good position to sneak up and grab first place possibly. That would be great! It's nice to see the bats going again. Also, just an FYI, Chicago and St. Louis have a tough schedule in the last month of the season, in September. You never know what could happen. Good win tonight for Milwaukee. Hopefully this continues.
