Brewers

I have to admit I was giving up on the Brewers Friday afternoon. But I never should have for one major reasons: they were playing the Cubs. And the Cubs are one francshie that can relate to the Brewers futility over the past many decades. I am for at least one day very happy for Rickie Weeks. This guy gets unfairly slammed by Brewer fans for his lack of living up to potential. Granted he is a belwo average 2nd baseman but he is not terrible. And it's moments like this one where he gets a game-tying double in the bottom of the ninth and then goes to third on a wild pitch that many players would not have advance on and then scores the winning run on a hard hit fielders choice grounder. That's a great moment for Weeks. And maybe it's a sign of great things to come.

Weeks is one of many Brewers that must majorly step up their game this year if they are going to contend. With starting pitching taking a huge step back this year and the bullpen yet to prove themselves, these guy are going to have show a lot of improvement at the plate and in the field.

With that said, nice win Friday night. A character-buliding win. Maybe they can get two out of three this weekend.
