Best Strategy Ever

Brewers manager Ken Macha, who I really like, had this to say following last night's 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies...

"Tonight was a highlight of once you get the lead in the major leagues and you get to the seventh inning, you have to try to hold it."

There's no way you can argue with that nugget.

I'll take that one step further and suggest that if you get to the seventh innning with the lead, and you do hold it, you're going to win a lot of games.
