Someday these MLB write-ups are going to be able to talk about Gallardo and not mention the Cardinals.

[rluzinski]

The last time the Brewers had a 3 game winning streak was on April 11th. Let's limp to another 3 game winning streak today. It's hard not to shake your head at that lineup, though:

 

1 great hitter

1 good hitter

1 good hitter with a bad start

1 good hitter with a terrible start

1 Japanese guy that we still aren't sure about

3 bad hitters

1 pitcher

 

Let's go get em!

Weird thing? Its still looks better than the Dodger line up. The holes the Dodgers have on their position side is amazing for a team 15 games above .500.

I'm at the game! Funny story...I had an extra parking pass for tomorrow nights game so I thought I'd give it to a fellow Brewers fan. I asked 4 or 5 Brewers fans...none were going. Then I saw a guy wearing a Braun jersey and asked him. His friend he was talking to said he could use it. I made him promise he was a Brewers fan. They laughed and said they were. Nice guys. Turns out the guy in the Braun jersey was Ryan's Dad, Joe.

[TURBO]

COOL! You mean Ryan's Dad has to pay for parking? Who would have thunk it?

[Dean Machine]

The Cards and Reds both lost so it would be a great day to pick up a win.

[chickinbrickin]

I'm actually pumped for this game. My favorite Brewer's pitcher going against one of the best in the game. Hopefully, the bats get a couple across and we win another tight one.

[topper09er]

Kershaw owned us last season in mid August. Hopefully we can put it in play and find some holes.

[GormanHarvey]

Strike 3 to Braun was absurd

[Eye Black]

Ramirez eyes are moving way ahead of his bat. He has no prayer to hit Kershaw if he pulls his head on every pitch.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

How were those calls on Braun & ARam?

[AZBrewCrew]

This umpire is going to make for a long night.

[dlk9s]

Strike 3 to Braun was absurd

 

Know what's fun? Pronouncing it "ab-zurd." Try it. Makes saying it that much more enjoyable.

[AZBrewCrew]

Braun's call was bogus but Ramirez swung through

[GormanHarvey]

How were those calls on Braun & ARam?

 

Braun call was horrible. Ramirez call was hard to tell...never gave a good angle or second look

[ELCABALLO45]

Walks hurting Gallardo? You don't say...

[GormanHarvey]

Walks hurting Gallardo? You don't say...

 

The worst part is it looked pretty intentional

[crewcrazy]

To be fair, it's hard to blame a pitcher for walking Matt Kemp.

 

Nice effort by Gomez on trying to cut off the ball hit by Ethier. Run scored anyway, but if it gets to the wall, Ethier might be on third instead of second.

[ELCABALLO45]

Uh ok, Looks like Kemp is heading back to the DL.

[burnzy24]

Did Kemp just re-injure himself?

[GormanHarvey]

Yo's command looking dicey

[Raw Biz]

I hate walks.

[cnycerveceros]

Gallardo pitches as if he thinks he's required to throw 25+ pitches in the first.

[GormanHarvey]

Did Kemp just re-injure himself?
