BREW CREW IN COORS COUNTRY
The Brewers open up a three-game set with the Rockies tonight in the thin air of Coors Field. I asked for a sweep last week in Miller Park and instead got a series loss, so this time I won't say anything so bold.

I was really beginning to feel that the Brewers were going to go into a 4-15 streak or something and fall back below .500, but then they go off and win two straight in a row in Minnesota. That's the second time I had that feeling (the other being the west coast trip in late May/early June), so maybe this team is for real. I can't help but be skeptical just because of how many players are overachieving, especially on the pitching staff. I really want this team to be good and play .500 ball all year long, but eleven straight losing seasons will leave a person cynical and jaded.
