Aramis is out tonight and perhaps for a few days more after receiving a cortisone shot in his ailing wrist.

My shirt is untucked already. How about yours?

[hawing]

I can't say I expected to see even a chance at a Cesar Crush this early in the game.

[sdcheezhd]

No Crush but great job by Wolf picking him up. Wolf seems to own the Cards at Busch lately.

[Lee16]

Nice job by Wolf. Nice to be able to say that every so often.

 

On an unrelated note, Greinke got lit up like a pinball machine in his first inning tonight. Hope he settles down.

[jjgott]

Well, those were unfortunate ways to get two outs.

[AZBrewCrew]

It could have been 4 or 5 to 0...sigh.

[jjgott]

Man, Gomez has really been playing well lately. Amazing to see him go oppo on that double

[jjgott]

Wolfie melting down out there, figuratively and literally.

[brewmann04]

No reason to bring back wolf

[sdcheezhd]

"We'll listen to this ovation for Nyger Morgan. Wow, how about that? They love him here!

 

"Nyger and Chris Carpenter became great friends last year, and it continued into this year. It's funny how opposites attract. Tall. Short.

 

"Still cheering for Nyger as he heads back to the dugout."

Unfortunately, this team is incapable of beating quality competition. Although that Astros series was still fun anyway.

[adambr2]

I have finally reached the point in this season where I feel no real emotional response to whether the Brewers win or lose.

[AZBrewCrew]

Axford just looks lost this season. He's obviously not figuring out whatever the issue is in non save situations. I'm not saying send him down to AAA just yet but its seeming like a better possibility as time goes on.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Maldonado has 3 throwing errors in one game. Never thought I'd say that. And Molina has two stolen bases on Maldonado. That's just as weird.

[adambr2]

You know what, even though they didn't overturn the call, I respect the homeplate umpire for 1) Asking for help on the call, and 2) Letting Roenicke have his say without barking in his face and giving him the quick hook.

 

It's a little sad that you need to put an umpire up on a pedestal for these simple actions, but you don't see it much anymore.

[rluzinski]

Unfortunately, this team is incapable of beating quality competition. Although that Astros series was still fun anyway.

They've beaten plenty of good teams, just not at the same rate as the poorer teams. Funny how that works.

[hawing]

On an unrelated note, Greinke got lit up like a pinball machine in his first inning tonight. Hope he settles down.

At some point, Zack's going to realize he really had a wonderful life with the Brewers.

[adambr2]

Nice job by Wolf. Nice to be able to say that every so often.

 

On an unrelated note, Greinke got lit up like a pinball machine in his first inning tonight. Hope he settles down.

 

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he got shelled the rest of the year and ended up having to settle for 5/$90 from us.

[brewmann04]

Now just watching games that Fliers and Rogers pitch.
