    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    Hard to argue with that but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we take 2 out of 3.

    The Brewers are a good team. Therefore, we shall sweep.

    Hmm......

    Game 1 - Wandy on the road? Loss.
    Game's 2 and 3 - Backe and Wolf pitching, need I say more?

    On that note, I'm going to say we win one of the 3 games somehow, I would guess game 3. Our bats come alive and we win 11-8.

    With the Cubs losing today, a win for the Brewers tonight will give them a share of 1st place.

    with the astros a complete disaster, i would like nothing more than to see the brew-crew win the central over the cubs and cards.

    Nice start for Wandy though so far. I really hope he can be more consistent on the road this year. It'd be nice to have a capable left-hander in the rotation to anchor down with Oswalt.

    I love how ridiculous these poll results are. 55% of people think the Astros will win the NL Central? hahahahaha

    Took care of their best starter in this series. Wandy looked real good. If it wasn't for the balk, he gives up nothing. Nice win.

    Wandy shuts down the hottest team in the league.

    He is our legit #2 starter now. Maybe #1 if oswalt doesn't return to form.

    I hope you're just talking about this season. I'm happy to see Wandy doing well but he's not an ace. If a team is a contender and Wandy is part of that staff, he's a #3 at best.

    yeah just this year.

    However it's been 3 years now that wandy has shown flashes of brilliance. First it was just at home but now he is becoming more mature and consistent.
