Brewers Weekly: Trevor Taking Over Milwaukee

Before we get going, I am on Twitter now and its basically an easier way for people to follow my blog on Twitter: http://twitter.com/chuckscorner. Also soon you can be a fan on Facebook. I stole this topic from the post-game show on 1250 WSSP AM who said that Trevor Hoffman is having a bigger impact on the community than CC Sabathia. Most people who in my opinion were caught up in the moment feel that Hoffman has such impact and everyone loves the atmosphere he brings. I disagree, I think that the excellence that Sabathia showed throughout the regular season to bring us to our first playoff is something that I and many people will never forget. Now if Hoffman comes in to "Hells Bells" in the 9th to clinch the NL Division then he becomes more iconic. Heres the wrap-up of the week....

Monday: This game might go down as one of the best games of the year for the Brewers as they defeated the Cardinals 1-0. Yovani Gallardo proved that he can be the stopper because the Crew was on a three game losing streak heading into the game and pitched magnificently going 8 IP, 2 hits, 8 Ks. It took Bill Hall who was riding a 1-28 streak to deliver in the 10th.

Tuesday: Not much to talk about here with the Brewers getting their asses kicked. We saw the Jeff Suppan of the late months last year giving up long balls like it was his day job and the Cardinals finally got their win against the Crew.

Wednesday: No offense from the Brewers losing their first series at Miller Park since mid-April 3-2. Manny Parra pitched very well which needs to happen almost night in and night out. But I do wonder if its screws with Manny's already loose head if the Crew doesnt get runs for him.

Friday: Braden Looper once again proved why he has been a top 5 under the radar signings this year by pitching a great 7 IP 3 Hit game where he surrendered two runs. Also Corey Hart delivered with a huge homer in the 7th which we all thought was great news because a couple of friends and I were at a bar where they promised free "Seven and Seven" if a homer was hit in the 7th. Well we wanted to collect and the waitress tells us that they do not do that anymore. It was only a bump in the road on a long night.

Saturday: This was the game the Brewers offense finally came alive. They had a huge inning with Ryan Braun and Mike Cameron hitting home runs in a six-run inning. Also Bill Hall got a double which everyone was in complete amazement because Hall actually got a hit. Dave Bush needs to find his command again since he has seem to lose it in the last two games. Although the bullpen was great.

Sunday: I took this game in for myself with Doz and the Brewers put five runs in the first three innings. Also Yo struck out nine without having his best stuff. He had six through two innings and the guy who sat in front of us completely jinxed Yo going into the third inning. I blame him for not seeing a twenty strikeout outing.
