Brewers NLDS Preview

Yes, Ladies and Gentleman, the Milwaukee Brewers have ended their 26 year playoff drought. Tomorrow, the Brewers will take on the Philadelphia Phillies for game one of the best of 5, National League Divisional Series. The Phillies will send their young left-handed phenom, Cole Hamels to the mound. The Crew is going to counter with a phenom of their own, Yovani Gallardo. Gallardo you will recall tore his ACL on May 1st in a game against the Chicago Cubs. The 22 year old pitcher heals fast and made a start last Thursday against the Pirates and pitched 4 innings and striking out 7 batters. Yovani is relatively unknown around the league, but Brewers fans know his stuff and expect him to be on his game Wednesday afternoon.

The Brewers are going to have their usual lineup against left-handed pitching under Dale Sveum:

Mike Cameron CF
Bill Hall 3B
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
JJ Hardy SS
Corey Hart RF
Rickie Weeks 2B
Jason Kendall C
Yovani Gallardo P

Let's go Brew Crew, let's make this stay in the Playoffs a long one!!
