It's been a while...

It's been nearly a month since I last wrote a blog post. In that time the Brewers have won 20 games and have increased their division lead from 3.5 games to 10.5. The Brewers now hold the second best record in the NL and the third best record in all of baseball. So with all this winning going on why haven't I written anything? I couldn't think of anything to write, thats why. I don't want this blog to be me just bashing the team or me just praising the team. I couldn't think of any angle to write about and the reason was the Brewers were just playing so well there was nothing really to talk about except how well they have been playing...I hope that makes some sense.

And the thing is, I still don't have an angle to write about but its been waaaay to long since I've written a post so something had to come out. My lame attempt at an angle is about this upcoming series against the Cards. While we are still in the month of August and have a whole month of regular season baseball left to play, you would have to think this could be the nail in the coffin for the Cardinals, thus letting the Brewers cruise to the division title. This is the second last series against the Cardinals all year, and its at home where the Brewers are 50-16. If the Brewers take at least two out of three this series, that puts their lead for the division at 12.5 games with only the month of September left in the season. With the way this team has been playing and especially the way they have played at home, you have to like the chances of the Brewers taking two out of three or even getting the sweep.

This team has put up impressive numbers so far this season. Braun and Fielder are the best one-two combo in all of baseball. Axford has 40 saves this season, the pitching has been outstanding, especially the starting pitching with Grienke being perfect at Miller Park this season, and the team's offensive, which has been good all year will only get better once Weeks gets back from his injury. I just don't know what to say, this team has been playing damn near perfect baseball the month of August. So this series against the Cardinals could be a big one. If the Brewers sweep they will pretty much secure the division. If the Cardinals sweep they put themselves back into the race, but with the way the Brewers are playing this month you have to think there is no way the Brewers lose this series.

So I"m already starting to repeat myself and I still don't have a solid angle to write about, so I'm going to end this thing before it gets real ugly. Hopefully I can come up with something creative to write about next time, I know the two of you reading this are waiting patiently.
