The First Challenge

9-1 in the last 10, sweep of the woeful Nats, 24-10 overall. Life is good in the land beer made famous. The next few series will provide a good scale as to how good this team is and how they fare as one of the dominant teams in baseball.
The first series is away against the 21-12 Mets. Many picked this team to win the NL during the pre-season and the team isn't dispointing. It's loaded with talent, I should know, I own three players on my fantasy team. This could be a NLCS preview (wishful thinking?).
The Brewers continue their road trip with a visit to Philadelphia. The Phillies are 15-19 and underachieving, yet again. So this series might not really be a good litmus test for the crews dominance of the NL. They've still got "my boy" Pat Burrell though. And who knows what Charlie Manual has got planned. "I will drop you right there."
The Brewers then return home for some good 'ole interleague play against the Twinkies. Currently 17-16, this series always heats up the old rivalry between the two old AL foes. I hate all that is Minnesota and the Twins.
The Brewers then hit the airplane for a trip to La-La land and the West-leading Dodgers. In the 2005 MLB video game for XBOX I let Sheets go because I didn't want to pay his huge salary and he landed with the Dodgers. And for some reason he always pitched against me when we played them and he was tough. But it brought out my A-game and I always rose to the challenge of sticking it to the Dodgers. I see no difference in real life, but this times Sheets will assist in sticking it to the Dodgers.
Continuing their tour of the West the Crew will then take on the Padres. A constant .500 team in the weak west, 2 out of 3 should be expected, not hoped for.
Finally the Brewers get to come back for a homestand that begins with hosting the Hot-lanta Braves. This team has reloaded and looks as though it could compete for another 13 division titles. B. Cox has already cleared his calendar for this time frame. Ironically enough, he has openings in his schedule during the end of October.
