I-94 Series part II

Milwaukee travels to Minneapolis today and will add a new page to the chapter of their storied rivalry with the Twins. Here is the pitching line up for the weekend series. Both teams are at their peak thus far in to the season, especially Minnesota (43-36) who has won their last 9 games and are a 1/2 game out of first behind Chicago (who plays the Cubs this weekend). Meanwhile, Milwaukee (43-35) is the hottest team in baseball since May 20th and is pulling with-in striking distance of Chicago and St Louis. Chicago WILL lose their weekend series against the White Sox. They will start their struggle...it's inevitable (16-20 on the road).

Milwaukee, meanwhile, will have their hands full playing the Twins. For some reason they can't get a handle on them. Keep in mind, the last time Milwaukee was in Minnesota Prince hit his first in-the-park homer!

-Mat Gamel and Matt LaPorta have been named to the All-Star Weekend's Futures Team. This new idea features top minor league prospects in a game, which will be played at Yankee Stadium. I thought for sure that Angel Samone would be summoned as well, batting .349 and 46 RBI's. It appears his suspension had an impact on this.

Huntsville Stars (AA) are home to the core prospects of the Brewer farm system! Here is a nice review of the team.

-Salomon Torres has been doing more than his part to help the team succeed in light of their 'closer' being on the DL. Torres now has 13 saves on the year. Meanwhile, the Canadian Eric Gagne

-Three Team Race in the "Comedy Central"? Wasn't it only this last spring when the Central was the laughing stock of the league? Now it's the best (in terms of records).

-Another lame-ass report of Milwaukee being the front runner for CC Sabathia. HE WILL NOT BE A BREWER!

-Eric Gagne says he is ready. Yet "stumbles" through his second rehab start. Take your time.
