Oliver Perez has been on fire of late. He went on a string of starts where he routinely struck out 9 or more and walked less than 2. His last outing he seemed more than shaky, giving up 8 in 4.2 innings to San Francisco giving up 5 hits, walking 2 striking out only one and allowing 2 homers.
Today Perez was brilliant. 8.1 innings allowing only one hit. The second hit was a solo homer. He struck out only 6, but walked only 1. Perez was dominating in a way that all of his former coaches and managers and GM's had ever hoped.
Reyes, Wright and Beltran all had good days, but again its Damion Easley who gets position player of the game for me. Easley was 3 for 5 driving in 4 runs. Damn. Just Damn.
Tomorrow night I'll be at the game as Tom Glavine looks for win 295 against Jason Marquis who's been red hot this season. It should be a very good game.
Let's not overlook something here. The Brewers came into this weekend in New York with something to prove. The Mets were a proven, veteran team and the Brewers are relatively young and haven't had a winning season in a while. These Brewers showed everyone this weekend that they can hang with and beat the big teams. You have to respect the Brewers this year. You can't help but like JJ Hardy and Prince Fielder, but role players this year like Tony Gwynn Jr could make a real difference to this team. You can't count out any team that has Craig Counsell on their roster. The Brewers will make it to the post season this year.
