Hello, OnMilwaukee.com readers! I am back and glad to be back. I played a little AAA baseball for the Rangers this year before my knee held me back. I am looking forward to getting my knee worked on and getting back out there next year. But enough about me, let's talk a little baseball!

I am excited to be talking about this post season. I have had the privilege of playing for three of these organizations so I hope you enjoy my insight (and if you don't you must be a Ken Macha fan).

Welcome back to October, Brew Crew! I heard someplace that Milwaukee is partying like it was 2008. Ha, I was there and I'll tell you what it was one heck of a party.

One, I think the Brewers will top 2008. I love the starting pitching of the Brewers this year as opposed to 2008. I like the mix of younger starting pitching. These guys are young and ready. Some of the other teams have higher profile pitchers who just happen to be in the early to mid 30s (nothing is wrong with that; I am 30). Zack and Yo are a bit younger and may have a little more gas in the tank. I am especially excited to see what Greinke will do this postseason. The Brewers will have to hit, something they are capable of doing so I look for them to beat the Diamondbacks in four.

What can go wrong for the Crew? Not hitting: This is something that just happens sometimes, It happened in 2008. I feel that if everyone just goes out and does what they know how to do and not try to do to much they will be fine. I would love to see Corey, Rickie, Braun and the rest of our speedsters run a bit, too.

Rays - Rangers

Joe Maddon pulled another rabbit out of his hat starting Matt Moore. Who? Yeah, you know the Montgomery Biscuits starting pitcher .... that's AA ball in case you didn't know. This 22 year old flat out dominated the powerful Texas Rangers. I like the risk taking; not much information was on this kid. Only one MLB start before yesterday means they did not have a huge scouting report on him. It worked, but I am not sure if he continues to not give up any runs the rest of his career, though ... I also would not be shocked if he makes only one more start this postseason.

The Rangers are in trouble. I look for James Sheilds to pitch well in game two for the Rays and for Ogando to shut down the Rays in game three. After that I think the Rays will win in four.

Keep checking in, I will be bringing you my insight and views all post season long! Feel free to e-mail questions too, as I will be answering them, too!

"Big Red" will cover baseball in a way only a player can, but he'll talk about other sports, too. The 6 foot, 6 inch flamethrower will write about life outside the game, too.
