No complaints, it was a rewarding season. No complaining about Rickie Weeks defense. No complaining about Corey Hart imitating Chuckie Carr. No complaining about Jeff Suppan not doing what we paid him to do. Saturday night made it all worthwhile. All the frustration from the season went out the window on Saturday night. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had a ball game. Miller Park was electric, it was as loud as I had ever heard it. I got enough exercise just from going back and forth from sitting/standing the entire game. Had a chance to meet Bart/Winks from the Bucky Channel at the game. The only thing I couldn't figure out was some people in front of us were yelling at people for standing and cheering. It's been 26 years people! Stand up and cheer the whole game!! Brewers fans have every right to be proud of their team and themselves, despite what this clown from Philly had to say.
The frustrating part? This was a very winnable series. The Phillies didn't really dominate, we handed it to them on a silver platter. I would have really liked our chances with CC taking the mound on Tuesday on full rest.
Did the Brewers play like the September Brewers in the playoffs? Sure did. Next year let's hope they play like the August Brewers. Does Doug Melvin has his work cut out for him? You better believe it. First and foremost, he needs to find a pure leadoff hitter, one that hits for average and has a high OPS. If that means letting Mike Cameron go, then so be it. This team has enough home run hitters, he's expendable. More on moves later.
Spring Training can't get here soon enough.
