May 2009 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche
5th May 2009
What a series against the Dodgers! Game 1 and 3 were impressive comeback wins when starting pitchers struggled. We are now 6-0 against the Dodgers, who are 12-8 against the rest of the league. The only offensive problems are now Gross (who draws a lot of walks, and delivers a key hit once in a while) and Reynolds, who is battling the Mendoza line since becoming a Brewer last year. We also will have to make a roster move when last years closer Fujita comes off the DL in a couple of days. We travel to New York to face the Mets who ended our season last year. They are not doing well so far, but we will see a familiar face at Citi Field: Geoff Jenkins is a Met now after not playing in 2008.
