Beautiful girls also watch sports. Since it's baseball season, let's talk baseball. Being from Milwaukee, it's the Brewers. With 25 years under their belts from their last trip to the World Series, it's time for the Crew to get there again. They started out strong - do any of you recall the 1987 season streak of 13 in a row and what happened with the rest of that season? Let's hope that doesn't happen again. This road trip is beginning to be a bit of a concern, losing four in a row - two of them heart breakers. They just couldn't afford to lose this many games to the east coast teams if they want to be considered legitimate especially since they have to come home and play a heated Midwest rival in a talented Minnesota Twins team. But let's face it, if the team doesn't get national recognition and they can scoot in under the radar as the underdog, it's that much better for the team. They'll come out of nowhere and the nation will be befuddled and jump aboard the Brewers ship. The road trip? It's disappointing, but let's not jump off the bandwagon just yet. The boys have yet to regain their balance, and J.J. Hardy remains hot (as well as hot - nudge, nudge, wink, wink). The losing streak is going to happen; it's how you recover from it that defines you as a team. Right now, it's not looking so good, but I have no doubt they'll get by it because they have a strong team - save the bullpen. A few key trades could shore that up. I'm thinking Laynce Nix to the Twins for any number of their long relievers. Today, it's the Phillies one more time, and they've had their number, but they'll pull this one out. Maybe Sheets will actually have command of his pitches and some pace on his fastball. A girl can dream.
