Crew has lost the season series, both to San Diego and Philly. They need to make up 3 games with 12 to play. If they can go 7-5 in the last 12, well for Milwaukee, that's a serious improvement on their recent play.
Definitely some 'splainin' to be done by Stearns: "We certainly care about winning a World Series, and I think that is something that consistent competitiveness leads to – a World Series," said Stearns. "That is how you win a World Series – you give yourself as many chances in the playoffs as you can possibly have." of course, this approach assumes you actually make the playoffs. I'd happilly trade off 4-5 seaons of Pirates-style AAA baseball for a title, which you win by deciding to go hard at the trade deadline because your 2-3 year window is open, as the Braves did last year.
I'll be pulling for the Chops to lose this weekend. Philly sure has a lot of motivation to make a statement. It's not just winning the WC, but they may very well be seeing the Braves in the WC round.
