The Brewers started the season 24-10 last year without Yovani. In fact, it was a rotation of Sheets, Suppan, Capuano, Bush and Vargas. If the Brewers don't blow 5 of the games they blew in the 2nd half of the season due to poor managing (I was a Yost supporter until about 2 weeks ago despite some of his management decisions last year) and poor bullpen production, they finish 12 or so games over and win the NL Central by several games, basically substituting Gallardo for Sheets. The rotation now... Sheets, Suppan, Bush, Villenueva, Parra compares favorably IMHO if they can stay healthy. A big if. The season is not over.

"My concern is this: I don't think the Cubs are on a hot streak right now. I think they finally figured it out and they are going to play this way the rest of the year. Playing this good for this long isn't a hot streak, it's the sign of a good ballclub-something we do not have at the moment." The Cubs are a good ball club, but they will not be able to sustain the .718 (23-9) ball they've played since June 22. The Cubs will falter at some point and the Brewers must get hot. They're finding ways to lose ball games right now.

Disagree, it may not be a large sample, but Vizcaino was something like 0-6 against DD. Tired or not, let him seal his own fate for once.

Let Doug seal his fate not frickin' Kane! GDI Yost! Happy Birthday Ned!!!!!!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif
