June 2011 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

24th June 2011


Some fellow readers told me, that 18-game winning streaks can happen. So we just keep playing and see what happens next. During Fielder's suspension Gamel and Braun (want him to have 1B as secondary position because he's not the kind of LF I like best) will share playing time at 1B. Next up the Phillies who were more or less on level with us during three of the last four season. But man this year they really play Rangeresque baseball, while their bullpen is a copy of the one the 2009 Indians own.
