PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
VS.
MILWAUKEE BREWERS
Everyone's picking the Phillies to win this series. Don't believe me? I present the following evidence:
Only one analyst, Tim Kurkjian, was able to convince himself that the Brewers are capable of winning more than a single game in this series. And to be fair, Kurkjian always been somewhat of a rebel. Exhibit B:
I can only assume this is Mr. Kurkjian's new file photo, and that the "MAG" print on his shirt is a subtle endorsement of ESPN The Magazine.
The Brewers have one chance to win this series: Pitch C.C. Sabathia as much as possible. Seriously. They're not going to resign him for next season. He is nothing more than a really fancy rental car. And everyone knows that when you have a really fancy rental car, you're obligated to drive it every minute until you have to return it. And if you have gas in the tank at that time, well then you didn't drive it enough!
If Milwaukee can resist the urge to be cute, man up, and pitch Sabathia three times in this series, they can take it. Otherwise, I'm forced to go with everyone else.
PHILLIES IN 4.
