8/27/08 Brewers (Parra) at Cardinals (Wainwright): 7:15 PM CDT

Gameday is a mess. I have no idea what happened that inning...fielders choice with no one out? Throwing error on Prince to catch Izturis? Pick off or caught stealing?

Anything you can imagine in your head will be as plausible or believable as what actually happened.

[trwi7]

Who didn't see that coming from Weeks?

[InBraunWeTrust]

Knowing how the forces of the universe like to treat us Brewers fans, we'll have to take one of our last series against the Cubs to lock the WC, and we'll get swept.

[BrewCrewForever]

Vintage Weeks there. God he sucks, I'm sorry Weeks fans/apologists. I cant stand him.

[sheethead]

Rickie is just awful.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I hate Phil Cuzzi.

 

There, it's not all Ned bashing.

 

But to suggest he handled that 8th inning remotely well is laughable.

[mastershake76]

Nice job JJ. Next up: Braun, deep to left.

[InBraunWeTrust]

If Weeks didn't inexplicably get walked so much, he wouldn't even be in the majors. Just awful baseball IQ and can't hit.

[Bernman23]

I agree, falling 6 games behind the Cubs is the killer in tonight's loss. The wild card race is over in my opinion. The Cards are not good enough to catch us and the chances of both the Mets and Phillies catching is is pretty low.

That's preposterous. The Mets blew a 7-game lead with 17 games left last season, what's 3.5 games with 30 left? It's an extremely surmountable lead, and we're going to have to fend off two teams. The Brewers themselves gave up an 8 game last year in about a month and a half two months. We caught the Cubs from 8.5 games behind within a month this season. All it takes is one of the Cards, Mets/Phillies to get hot and we could be on the outside looking in. Especially the Phillies at our expense when we have a 4-gamer in Philadelphia in September. The WC race is far from over.

What happened?

 

According to BP, before this game, the Brewers had about as much chance of catching the Cubs as other wildcard teams had of catching the Brewers.

[sheethead]

Cuzzi is just awful.

[trwi7]

If Weeks didn't inexplicably get walked so much, he wouldn't even be in the majors. Just awful baseball IQ and can't hit.

 

Weird isn't it? Kind of like how I don't get how Counsell walks as much as he does.

[BrewCityUnit]

If the Phillies sweep us, they will pass the Mets. We will not finish behind both the Mets and Phillies. These games are a lot more relaxing when you start to realize, we are going to the playoffs this year.

[trwi7]

Ugh Braun. It would be nice if Prince would actually hit for a little power here.

[SeriesFinale]

Pfffft, Braunie.

[BrewCrewForever]

Please Prince.

[InBraunWeTrust]

The Cardinals are the frailest little crybaby kids on the playground, yeesh. Bawwwwwwwww.

[sargennm]

I hate the Cardinals. Come on Prince.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

The Cards are getting away with murder here. If the Brewers pulled this crap, they'd have several players ejected by now.

[bbaehman]

That was a tough pitch to Braun...tough loss...got the split. Need 2 in Pit

I'm just sick of Weeks sucking. That is all.

[mastershake76]

crap crappety crap crap crap.

 

Well, it's someone's fault. I nominate Ned for goat of the day, but I would be hard-pressed to argue against Riske taking the prestigious award.

[trwi7]

Horrible at bat by Prince. Yeesh. Now slugging under .500.

[Gobias Industries]

Quite a step up from Isringhausen.

 

Wow was that guy good.

[SeriesFinale]

Well, this loss, while a stomach-punch, is not devastating to the Brewers' playoff hopes.

 

It is, however, huge for the Cards'. Should've knocked these whiners out while we had them down.
