2011-10-13 Brewers (Wolf) at Cardinals (Lohse) - 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-2; NLCS Tied 2-2]

[Beast Light]

This is getting ridiculous. I'm starting to think the Brewers don't deserve to win with the way they are playing.

[MillerBombers]

Don't even know what to say.

 

Need to get out of this only down 1.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

That honestly just looked lazy on Rickie's part.

[ELCABALLO45]

Haha, all I can do is laugh.

[bucksman4]

This team just has our number. It's why I was actually rooting for the Cardinals to NOT make the playoffs, no matter how it affected our home field advantage status. I knew they were not scared of the Brewers and actually were the better team. My worst nightmare is about to come true.

i don't know about that. 9-9 head to head this year and i remember seeing a graphic recently that the brewers have more than held their own with the cardinals over the past 3-5 seasons. if i remember correctly something like 9-9 this year, 8-10 the year before, 9-9 the year before, 7-11 the year before, 10-8 the year before, something like that.

I understand the season series have been close, but I think the tides turned when they swept MIL at Miller Park in the last few weeks of the season.

[a3uge]

Sickening. Absolutely sickening.

[brewerjamie15]

I think Rickie was setting up a double play.

[jason21nl]

More awesome D

[Ranier]

You must be joking. that ball just kept going and going.....

When you hit the ball hard you have a chance when you hit weak-ass grounders to short and pop up constantly, you don't.

Except he didn't hit the ball hard.

Yes he did. Balls don't go that far if you don't get good wood. We don't hit the ball hard. Other than the 6 run inning, we have done NOTHING.

[RockCoCougars]

Here comes a two run single by Lohse.

[jjfanec]

Nice pitch by Wolf. Jay has killed us this series so getting him out was great. Get Lohse and get out of this inning

[jason21nl]

glad they got out that without further damage.

 

The ball hit by Holliday shouldn't have gone out, but it was still hit pretty hard

[Schlitz001]

Do we have momentum now because Wolf only gave up 1 run?

[bucksman4]

Thank you, Randy. You bailed out Rickie's pathetic attempt to field an easy ground ball.

[MillerBombers]

Way to get out of it Randy.

[jjfanec]

With the way the wind is blowing I think Wolf could put one out if he hits a fly ball this inning.

There is a reason Yuni pops out at a historic pace.

[a3uge]

This is a terrible time for the offense to go into a slump after the pitching has picked up. Why can't they ever pick up at the same time?

[brewerjamie15]

I remember going into the early season thinking "How the snot do ya get into the playoffs with such a porous defense?"

Doug Melvin was asked this question in an interview and I do NOT remember what his response was. Anyone able to summize it for me?

 

Did he say we'd hit our way through it?

 

Maybe he was drunk?

Well we did get in the playoffs so he was right

[Thundercat32]

bucksman4,

 

not trying to be augmentative but i was curious what the actual head to head numbers were.

 

2011 vs STL 9-9

2010 vs STL 8-7

2009 vs STL 9-9

2008 vs STL 10-5

2007 vs STL 7-8

2006 vs STL 7-9

 

my personal opinion is the cardinals have had about a dozen horseshoes wedged up their hindquarters the past 2 months and as with any cinderella the clock eventually strikes midnight.

[chickinbrickin]

Because outside of Braun and Prince the offense has been in a slump all year. I can't remember even a small stretch where I was thinking man these Brewer's can mash.

[Oxy]

Kottaras is going deep here.

[ELCABALLO45]

For the record I know its his job and he is doing a great job at it, but Brian Anderson getting all excited about the Holliday homer and the Cardinals winning makes it worse.
