8/9/05 - Cardinals (Reyes) @ Brewers (Davis) - 7:05 CST

That one week hot streak blinded us as to how average Overbay is. I'm sure glad we have Prince.

If the Brewers are unable to beat St. Louis mostly B teamers, then there really can't be any serious discussions about making the playoffs.

be calm all, we are one run behind, we dont want to run away with the game and take the excitement away from the crowd

It's more of a "here we go again" lull.

I hate playing the Cardinals. They always seem to be a step better than us. Better pitching, better hitting, better defense, they get more calls from the umps...it's so frustrating to watch.

 

And then on top of it all, they have their "B" team out there! Man, I'm just hoping to win one in this series and take our chances against the rest of the NL.

Dig boys.....dig.

[Brew Crewsader]

Uh oh, here comes Flores

[markwitx]

good the guy is out of the game.

[ThePurpleStorm]

So much for our offense being above average.

[falloutboy]

Wow!!! We have a chance!!!!!!!

 

Go go Geoff go!

[badgerfan.tgf]

Ok, who thinks we'll have a runner in scoring position the rest of the game?

[brewers19]

good the guy is out of the game.

 

Don't get too excited, we get to face the Cards bullpen now.

[Weirdos19]

Seems like they play scared against the Cards. They play like they are intimidated.

[steve267268]

come on guys.. this aint over.. we have some time here.. We have one more run through the lineup.. it will be alright

 

 

This just in, i want a brigade band.

[Brew Crewsader]

why do our announcers sing the praises of the opposing team so much? They should support us occasionally instead of finding good in everything the other team does.

[markwitx]

god, we hit it hard and they make great plays.

[Brew Crewsader]

what color are the brigade shirts tonight?

[badgerfan.tgf]

Man this is hard to watch. St. Louis does everything right. And when the rarity occurs that they do make a mistake they make up for it ten-fold with good plays.

[H0FFY]

Well, I can only hope we survive these three games and actually learn how to play baseball by watching. But one thing I do not like. The umpires think (know) the Cards are better than us, hence all borderline calls go to them. It is like in the Olympics. In a judging contest, the judges dont want to rock the boat, hence all benefit of the doubt goes to the reigning champ.

 

I think that is one reason St Louis falter in the playoffs. They are not used to a level playing field. Game by game, LaRussa can play his mind games on the umpires, and they respond. In the playoffs, that is kind of nullified.

 

That is why it is hard to stomach losing to these guys. But the worm will turn one day, and I will laugh a happy an long laugh when St Louis enjoy 10 years at the bottom of the heap. They give no respect, so they deserve no repect.

Finally a pitcher willing to challenge Albert! Way to go Santana.

[markwitx]

finally we got albert out

[JoeH33]

We got Pujols out! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

YES! Grudz got on base again! AWESOME.

[JumpinMacFlash]

Bill and Daron brag up the defensive schemes put in place by Rich Dauer, but I think the Cardinals are way better. It seems that every ball thats hit hard by the Brewers is lined right at a Cardinal player.

 

Bad hop...or something for Jenkins in right.
