Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

The Crew was washed out in Bah-stun today. I haven't blogged on the last two losses against the Dodgers at Miller. Wednesday looked good going into the 7th when the wheels fell off on a great start by Manny. They still had a lead in the 9th however, but Mota fell apart in the 9th. So much for my closer by committee.

Thursday was worse. A great start by Sheets, but in the 7th, he ran into BIG trouble. 6 runs just hung up on the board. An expolosion that should have been indicitive of the Brewer O.

The bigger news on Thursday was the signing of Braun to a 8 year deal (including this season). I think Braun has the talent to contribute to the Crew for a long time, but DAMN!, 8 years is a long time. This is the biggest contract in Crew history, but if Braun continues to play to his potential (and I think he will) it will be a bargain for the Crew. The question I have is, "What does Prince think of all this?"
