The BCCC crew look to  recap week's 7 + 8.5 games for the Milwaukee Brewers.  Week 7 + 8.5 for the Brewers included a 11 game road trip with 3 games against the San Diego Padres, 4 games against the St. Louis Cardinals, and 4 games (1 day being a double header) against the Chicago Cubs.  They went 6-5 in that stretch, putting their record at 32-20 overall, which is good enough for 1st in the NL Central and 3rd in the National League.
