On the respirator now, I think if we get to 4 1/2 back you can pretty much stick a fork in us.

Travis not in the lineup. Neither is Pina. Both are tough players who wanted to stay in there but CC needs to sit them out and they need the rest and to heal up. Hope Anderson has a good game today. Unlike Garza who walked too many Cards, played crappy defense and made it difficult to watch the game yesterday. He needs to go and I am sick of seeing him in the starting rotation. Woodruff, Hader, anyone but Garza.

Cardinals traded Mike Leake to the Mariners today. Could this be us with another loss today? Not even sure who we could move.

I doubt it. The Brewers have 7 remaining head to head games against the Cubs.

 

Go 5-2 and things become very interesting.

 

Moreover, the Brewers have a stretch coming up where 12 of 15 games are against the Reds, Pirates, Marlins.

 

That said, the Brewers have 30 games remaining. To make the playoffs, I'll bet they need to go 22-8 or so.

 

The 4 game dumpster fire against the Twins was not helpful.

that and it's not like we really have anything to dump off. No one will want Garza. Braun obviously not. Our salary is so low there's no harm in keeping Walker and playing the year out. Cards just cleared like 40 Mil, there's nothing like that out there for MKE. I'm sure deep down management knows how low the odds are of making it, but really you've got nothing to lose by keeping to go for it and everything to gain.

 

Great start though today. He'll settle in and get at least 6 innings with 3 runs or less.

[wildcat2237]

Looks like were off to a great start. Walk and a bomb.

[pacopete4]

I almost wish we wouldn't have had the success early on so we were about 10 back and I could just not care about this right now. Just so disappointing.

Nah it's good to be involved, have to embrace the stress of it. like the old better to have loved and lost than to never at all saying.

 

As Badger fans my friends and all the painful last second or late losses in football my friends and I always used to say it would be better to just get beat soundly and not have pain of the close losses. Then 59-0 happened and we realized we were wrong.

[owbc]

Thanks Cardinals!

[rcc]

I thought the early success was fun. It gave us some interesting games and hope for the playoffs.

 

Right now bad fielding from the Cards and Santana scores. Let the Cards get some of that bad fielding today. It's their turn!

[rcc]

Game is tied. Perez comes through.

[tmwiese55]

Good point rcc, that mashfest at the beginning of the year was really fun and the players personalities made it a lot of fun. have to remember the good times.

[rcc]

Thames was so hot during that early season drive. He was a superstar. Today he strikes out with men on base and has come down to earth.

 

Anyway the Crew now lead 3-2 thanks to Sogard.

[trwi7]

Good idea sticking a microphone in a 3 year old's face. A+ to Jimmy Nelson's wife though.

That's what happens when you don't get to play the Reds every day and teams start to get a book on you.

[pacopete4]

Love the answer back! Alright, I'm back on board. Oh these emotions... lol

I think the biggest effect of the early success is that it forced the Cubs to make some moves. I for one am very happy we will not have to face Eloy Jimenez or Jaimer Candelario for the next 8 years.

Chase looks locked in

[trwi7]

That's worse baserunning than anything Villar has done.

That was pretty clearly not going to be caught. That hurts..

[markedman5]

Absolutely horrible.....by both SV and Seder.

 

A rocket off the wall with first and second with nobody,out and you end up first and second and 1 out

[jjgott]

Very classy move by Matt Carpenter right there

[tmwiese55]

wow, just wow.

[OnaBadger58]

Villar gets screwed out of a steal
