Howry, while by all accounts a very nice guy, lost his mojo about halfway through the year. He only has the fastball, no breaking pitches, nothing else. He just spots the fastball. And compared to other guys nowadays, his fastball isn't all that great. In that situation, he had no business being on the mound. It wasn't fair to the Mets, certainly. But if I'm the Brewers, since they can't run Sa-Sa Sabathia out there every day, I wouldn't be too sure of getting past the Phillies. Sheets is done, and well, what else is there? And anyone remember Sabathia this time last year? The Indians did the same thing, riding him into the playoffs and when he got them there, he had nothing left.

But Sabbathia is definitely going to be game two. With probably Dave Bush in game three. If it gets to game four and five, I think you might see a combo of Carlos Villeaneuva and Seth McClung who was just awesome Friday. I will say this as a lifelong fan of this team my heart tells me they're going to win but my head tells me something different.

Sunday morning I'm getting up at 6:00 going up to Green Bay to watch the Packers/Falcons game. Then if the Brewers are playing probably around 6:00 I'm heading down to Miller Park for game 4.
