The odds are certainly stacked against the Milwaukee Brewers. They would have to combine a miraculous winning streak with a full-blown collapse by the New York Mets to have a CHANCE at backing into the post season, but the fact of the matter is they still have a chance. Seth McClung couldn’t get out of the 4th inning, but reliever Todd Coffey bailed him out of a bases-loaded jam with two key strikeouts. Prince Fielder hit a solo shot off of Reds’ starter Bronson Arroyo, and also crushed a two-run double in the 4th. Corey Hart picked up two RBIs off of sac flies, J.J. Hardy knocked in a run, and Ryan Braun collected #99 of the year as the Brewers rolled to an emphatic 8-1 win. The Mets failed to hold onto a late lead in Atlanta and lost 6-7. The Crew trails New York by 1.5 games going into tomorrow’s off day. Milwaukee’s overall road record in ’08 was 41-40.
