forget wednesday (unless it's seared into your retinas). the next 9 games we have are against houston, st. louis, and cincinnati, who combined are 37 games under .500 as of right now. the cubs next 11 are against these blistering-hot rockies, cincinnati, and st. louis, a combined 20 below. neither team is playing very well recently, but i think this next stretch might be the most important of the season (of course, aren't they all now?).
on paper, we should come out of this stretch better than the cubs. in reality, who knows. but if the brewers and the cubs both do what they're supposed to do, they will probably effectively knock the cards out of the race, and slam the door just as shut on the astros, making it a two-team race the rest of the way. we have to find a way to beat the teams that are worse than us, at home or on the road. i have an idea that something is going to go down after today's game in that clubhouse.
what can we hope for and what can we expect through these next 9?

Can't really say the Brewers should come out better than the Cubs in this stretch, it's the same stretch only flipped, like the entire season has been thusfar.

What can we as fans expect in the next 9 games? 5-4 is as optimistic as I can be

Without pitching we aren't going to win many, home or away.

We'll trade you some pitching for some hitting.

6 runs in the last 4 games.

Is Scott Eyre for Ryan Braun fair?

Only if Carlos Zambrano and Carlos Marmol for Craig Counsell is fair. Of course we need to have Zambrano sign an extension before we complete the trade.

ryan braun is the life preserver of our titanic.

Man, if we could win 9 in a row we could really take a stranglehold on this division............. Dream over.
