Just don't boo

Welcome our Crew home with open arms Brew Crew fans. The Phils were supposed to win their two home games, and it took one bad inning with a Weeks error and Cammy dropped ball to get it done vs. the Crew on Wednesday. Tonight, while CC didn't have much of anything, it took them riding one bad 0-2 pitch out of the yard. The Phils are getting that one play a game that is all too often the deciding factor in a playoff contest, Brewers are not. The Brewers look like a team that's here for the first time. The Phillies do not.

We also have Corey Hart in our lineup and they do not. Jason Kendall won't get a hit in the postseason.

But I think a raucous (read: hammered) home Miller Park crowd can fuel this team in Game 3. Let's give it to them Crew fans. Hopefully someone pulls the Jim Halpert telling Dwight it's Friday when it's Thursday trick on Hart. How lovely would that be? Despite grabbing an opportunistic 2-0 lead over the Crew, I still heard the Philly faithful boo their own on several occasions. That same pitcher that the place erupted for when he drew a walk vs. CC was boo'd after walking Hardy in the first. The beloved and faithful Cubs fans did more booing at Wrigley than cheering.

And the Phillies have beat the Crew twice, yes, but they are not throttling this team like the Dodgers are the Cubs. While the chances of advancing to the NLCS are slim at best, take it one game at a time. All the Brewers have to do is come home and play good ball in front of what promises to be an electric crowd and win Saturday. Don't worry about Game 4 and 5. Win Game 3, get that play to go in their favor this time around.
