Like all of you Brewers fans, I'm beside myself happy about the Crew making the post-season. CC is THE MAN. That guy's a frigging bull. I have never seen a pitcher carry a team the way he has, particularly the last 2 weeks of the season.
And Ryan Braun, what can you say? Legit star. I blogged about his walk-off grand slam versus the Pirates last week. The Brewers needed that hit, that win, that spark as badly as they've needed anything all season. Stars make the big plays when they matter. Braun is definitely doing that.
There's one move the Crew made this season that flew under the radar but has made me particularly happy with this team. Ray Durham. When I saw that double play grounder head for 2nd base off Derrek Lee's bat for the final outs of the Brewer's regular season, I squirmed with visions of Rickie Weeks chucking it into left field. But thankfully Durham was there to field it cleanly. Rickie Weeks may develop into a sensational player over time, but I'll take the stability Durham offers for now.
Can't wait for tomorrow's game. Go Brew Crew!!!!!!
