8/27/08 Brewers (Parra) at Cardinals (Wainwright): 7:15 PM CDT

[Bernman23]

We're trying to save the Cardinals season....got to show a little more killer instinct. Looks like Carlos' Villanueva's fist pump undeservedly fired them up.

[trwi7]

We're going to need a miracle to get out of this inning tied.

[Dustin Block]

Who needed a 5.5 game lead for the wild card anyway?

[burniebrewer]

(BLUE) It's all Villy's fault for firing them up.

[sheethead]

Glaus and Molina are up here so this is Riske's inning to lose.

And lose it he did.

[pebadger]

I think it had less to do with Villanueva and more to do with Riske.

[bucksman4]

Ned gave Riske the ol' pat on the back and 'good job'. I haven't seen a more undeserving pat in my life.

[BrewCityUnit]

The world will not come to an end if we lose this game. Didn't everybody just want a split anyways?

[InBraunWeTrust]

Even if we did lose, on the bright side we did go like 9-3 against the Cards, and we did technically steal all those games from them before. Still, very frustrating... three straight two baggers...

[sheethead]

Thanks for the quick hook Ned, its not like they weren't crushing everything Riske was throwing. Oh wait, yeah the were.

[FidoMcCokefiend]

this is gonna be a stomach punch game

[mastershake76]

My kingdom for a bullpen

[rluzinski]

Why is Mota warming up and not Torres?

[trwi7]

Horrible throw by Hardy.

[sheethead]

Bad throw Hardy, but he still looked out.

 

Edit: he was safe. This is a group effort tonight.

Yeah I know, I just can't seem to shake the old "the brewers will let us down in the end" feeling. Games like this always throw me into a negative funk, if the Cards would have blows us out I would have shrugged it off. Totally irrational on my part but it comes with so many uears of losing. Heck we may even still win this one.

[InBraunWeTrust]

Lame lame lame. Hopefully we can steal one away like we did last series now. What an upsetting game.

 

Definitely not a stomach punch game though, considering what we've dealt with so far, and considering we got out of quite a few jams.

[tyguy]

Riske's been a bum all season long.

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

The Moral of the story is if you whine about stuff enough in life, you win. Case in point: St. Louis.

[trwi7]

Why is Mota warming up and not Torres?

Mota has had a few decent games so those trump all of his bad performances earlier. It's so simple!

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Missed the tag, good call.

 

I'm less concerned about the split than going down 6 games with under 30 to play.

[sheethead]

Riske is what he is... terrible.

[Ranier]

That was about as unclutch as one could be with that pathetic throw....we are throwing this game away

[rluzinski]

Why is our LOOGY still in the game?

[SeriesFinale]

This game was lost when our big meat couldn't drive a run in with one out and men on first and third.
