2009-05-27 Cardinals (Wellemeyer) at Brewers (Parra): 12:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 3-2]

[Ennder]

Ryan Franklin is really due for a regression to well Ryan Franklin levels. Put me down for a walkoff HR by someone.

40,226 in the park, per Bob. That's a heartening number (even if it's probably boosted some by the STL nation).

[PrinceEatMeat]

I wouldn't hit for Cat or Gamel here, they will likely counter with a righty to face Hart/Hall, which we really don't want.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Is 329 Reyes' ERA or weight?

[eanelson4]

Don't look now, but excluding this game, JJ Hardy is hitting .328/.429/.531 (AVG/OBP/SLG) this month with 9K/10BB. Pretty torrid.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Yep they countered, but luckily Macha was smart and used McGehee.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

If we could just get Braunie and Fielder back on track behind him we could get the O back pretty quick.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Crazy how a season ebbs and flows. For the first two weeks I had no faith in the Brewers mounting any kind of comeback. For the next month a 2 or 3-run deficit felt like nothing. Now a 1-run deficit in the 6th feels absolutely insurmountable again.

At least that suggests that the current "ebb" should be finite. Fingers crossed.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Why is McGehee playing right field?

[hawing]

Grr, I never feel good about Colby Rasmus being up...and I'd never heard of him before the Brewers' series in STL.

[hawing]

I got my unpleasant workplace chore done. Anyone want to join me in the chat room? Sometimes the chat room rallies work.

[brewmann04]

Brew crew hitting a bad stretch here and hopefully after playing the hot Twins and cards we can get some breaks this weekend,and take a series.

[naivin]

So...Gamel, Gerut, and Rivera?

[JoeH33]

Well there's a start. Gamel with the leadoff walk.

[stoutdude04]

Umps been giving that outside corner...says gameday.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Somebody please get us to Hardy.

[PrinceFielder28]

no attempt to bunt gamel over...come on Macha

[PrinceFielder28]

wow I thought that was the game

[DocLuna7]

all up to counsell. C'mon Craig

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

We gave up a run on a blown DP...how about getting it back Craiger.

[PrinceFielder28]

nice hit CC

[DocLuna7]

alright JJ... this is the guy that we want. Not sure how the Cards didn't double up Rivera without being able to watch it. Just seems odd.

[JoeH33]

Well we got to Hardy! At least we're keeping this interesting.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Sweet!!! C'mon JJ, you are feeling it!!!
