Elimination Day?
Tonight the Crew takes the home field in what could be their last game of the year. The Brewers' fans seem to be ready to crucify Roenicke for deciding to go with Marcum tonight, expecting bizarro-evil Mucram to show up again. I think it's the right decision. Pitching Yo! on short rest does not guarantee any kind of victory and also makes a possible Game Seven that much harder to win. Leo Durocher said, "You don't play for tomorrow. Tomorrow it might rain." Well, we've got a dome. There is nothing besides anecdotal speculation that says Marcum is injured and how soon we forget that he was actually the most consistently good pitcher all season!
Lastly, let's keep this in mind, please:
April 10: 6-5 over the Cubs
April 24: 4-1 over the Astros
May 15: 9-6 over the Pirates
May 22: 3-1 over the Rockies
May 29: 6-0 over the Giants
June 12: 4-3 over the Cardinals
June 26: 6-2 over the Twins
July 10: 4-3 over the Reds
July 31: 5-4 over the Astros
August 14: 2-1 over the Pirates
August 28: 3-2 over the Cubs
September 11: 3-2 over the Phillies
September 25: 9-5 over the Marlins
October 2: 9-4 over the Diamondbacks in the NLDS
October 9: 9-6 over the Cardinals in the NLCS
October 16: TBD
That's every Sunday home game this season, folks. Let's go Crew. Get it done. Then Yo! tomorrow. Kick it.
