The Brewers gave up two touchdowns last night to the Nationals and only managed one of their own in a 6-14 loss, dropping them to 1 game under .500 on the season and 4 games back in the tight NL Central. The Crew has ripped off 3 wins in their last 10 games, while the now Central Leading Cubs have reeled off 8 wins in their last 10. Frankly, the Brewers have NO chance to win the NL Central. The Cardinals, who have a superior pitching staff to Milwaukee, added Julio Lugo and Matt Holliday is protection for Albert Pujols. The Cubs haven't added anybody; they don't need to. Their line up is expensive and filled with talent as is their pitching staff, Rich Harden, Alfonso Soriano, Milton Bradley, Carlos Zambrano, and Carlos Marmol turning their seasons into AVERAGE seasons by their standards is like making 5 huge trades. All they need to do is get healthy and play average seasons down the stretch, and they'll be neck and neck with the Cardinals.

en 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.

A couple of observations about last night's big Brewers win over the Pirates.
Nice to see Braun hit the fool out of that ball for the game winner. It's been a long September for Braun (avg. around .200 and only 1 HR in coming into Thursday's game).
