Sports Glance With Lance82 BREW DEJA VU?THINGS TO CONSIDERBy Lance Allan
When was the last time the Brewers swept consecutive road series? Now that's something we'll have to check with the Elias Sports Bureau...but I can tell you that the Crew has now tied a club record for most wins without a loss on a road trip, tying the 6 in 1980 and 2003.
And if you're wondering....the most consecutive road wins in club history is 9 all the way back in 1973.
But consider why this season is deja vu of the 1982 Brew:
The 57-43 record after 100 games, the best since the 58-42 of 1982.
Homers in 19 straight games, tying a franchise record.
C.C. Sabathia is like Mike Caldwell...he finishes what he starts. His third complete game for his new team, allowing 3 runs in his first start, then 2, then 1, and now none. How will he improve next time...a perfect game?
The Brewers haven't had a winning road record since 1999...but they're 27-26 away from Miller Park, one win from a 7-0 road trip out of the All-Star break.
And they're 38-19, the best record in the majors since that meltdown in Boston back on May 20th.
