Boy I Hope I'm Wrong

By Todd Welter

I apologize.  I'm truly sorry.  I have never wanted to be more wrong in my life than today.  Please me father for I have sinned, I committed the act of being too rational and overreacting.  Last Monday, I put down on paper the Crew would be dropped 3-1 by Philadelphia.  Few days later I said the Phillies were flat out a better team and would easily sweep the Brewers under the rug.  Needless to say, I made some people upset.

Could you blame me?  I just thought the odds were in the Phillies favor.  Philly can score runs despite their big bats taking a nap.  The Phillies do not swing the bats like they have a 9pm reservation at Maders.  Most importantly, Philly has Cole Hamels, who I think is a silent partner of Mark Attanasio with the way Hamels has owned this lineup.  So that is why I said all those nasty things.

Well, I ask lightning strike me for such blasphemy.  I want to be wrong.  I need to be wrong!  The Brewers finally looked like a team that is worthy of more October success with yesterday's 4-1 win.  The lineup did a complete 180 by staying disciplined and manufacturing runs.  The bullpen has been better than finding a diamond on the street.  All the things a team needs to go deep into the postseason.  So please Jeff Suppan make me more wrong than a criminal.  I'll gladly admit I was wrong if the Crew can send this back to Philly and go beyond.  Right now, I think all my ex-girlfriends' jaws just dropped to the floor with that statement.
