It's Coming Together

How about that series? The Brewers sweep the Astros and have won six of their last seven games. Everything just seems to be clicking for the team right now.

Dave Bush was outstanding today allowing only one run and has put together back to back great starts. We've seen glimpses of this in the past with Bush but this season he had not been performing well. He's really stepped up his game as of late.

Once again Ryan Braun proves how awesome he is as he homers on Ryan Braun bobble head day. He is so consistent. Braun now has 15 homers on the season and is hitting .297.

Speaking of awesome, Russell "The Muscle" Branyan has been tearing it up since joining the team from Triple-A. He hit his third homer today. The platoon he has going with Hall seems like it's going to work out very well.

How about Ben Sheets' performance on Saturday? Big Ben continues to deal. He's 6-1 with a 2.71 ERA. If the Brewers continue to play well Sheets could be a legitimate Cy Young candidate. Doug Melvin are you listening? Sign this man to an extension!

And how about the pitching in general? The starters have been picking up their performance lately and the bullpen has been lights out since Turnbow and Gagne have been gone. Salomon Torres, Guillermo Mota, Brian Shouse, and Tim Dillard have been turning in outstanding outings. All of those guys have ERA's under 3.20.

Things finally seem to be coming together for the Brewers. The bats have come alive and the pitching has really improved. The Brewers record currently stands at 29-28. Now they'll try to close out this home stand with a series victory over the NL West leading Arizona Diamondbacks.
