Cards Talk

[TooLiveBrew]

The force will be with you, Randy Wolf. Beware the dark side & Lord LaRussa.

[logan82]

Everybody make sure they stay classy for this series.

[pretendastronaut]

I was going to Photoshop monocles onto the Cardinals photos for this series, but the state of things took my enthusiasm for that idea away.

[ELCABALLO45]

This is why we gave Randy Wolf the type of money in the off season, to pitch these big games.

 

Ok just kidding. Don't get destroyed Milwaukee please.

 

(And Macha better start Hart and Gomez)

[hawing]

(And Macha better start Hart and Gomez)

You don't think Diego would be motivated to outclass his former team? Otherwise, I'm with you in hoping for something resembling respectability.

 

What's classier: making your opponent look extra good, or bringing a game that could be described as "competitive"?

[crewcrazy]

Lineup edited into first post. Wolf batting 8th, Edmonds batting 5th and starting in CF.

[logan82]

I don't mind Edmonds batting 5th I just wish he didn't have to be in CF.

[Invader3K]

I'm glad Macha is giving the "move everyone up and stop pretending we have an ideal #2 hitter" lineup again.

 

Tough facing Wainwright right off the bat, but then again their entire rotation is pretty tough.

[dlk9s]

More than victories, what I want from this series is for the Brewers to carry themselves with the grace and dignity befitting Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, or for that matter, Al Hrabosky.

I think most of us don't know how to respond to how good Wolf looked the first couple of innings. People weren't kidding when they talked about how bad the Cards have looked against LHP so far this year.

Jinx!

[trwi7]

So the Brewers are going to intentionally walk an .860 OPS hitter to load the bases for an .830 OPS hitter with an extra runner on base. Makes no sense, but then again, not much the Brewers have done lately has made sense.

[TheCrew07]

I guess maybe Lucroy wasn't the problem...

[crewcrazy]

Among the things Ken Macha Does That Drive Me Crazy, intentionally walking the bases loaded is climbing its way up the list. It worked out this time, but why wouldn't you just pitch Holliday away, away, away and hope he gets himself out? If he walks, he walks, but at least it wouldn't be intentional.

[bullox]

hahaha Generatinos?

[TheCrew07]

Good thing Escobar sucks so much at defense.

[hawing]

There are too many Ryans in this series.

[trwi7]

That contract to Wolf is looking just dandy.

[BrewCrewForever]

I hate to say it, but I smell a sweep. And not by the Brewers.

[Eddiehitsthefoulpole]

Does putting Suppan in the game mean that we are throwing in the towel? They said that Suppan is a fan favorite in St. Louis. What they didn't say is that Suppan has become a fan favorite of every team he pitches against.

[ilovebeer]

oh good. Suppan is in the pitch.

[BrewCrewForever]

That contract to Wolf is looking just dandy.

Still early to tell, but it does seem that the Brewers are good at getting guys a year too late.

 

 

[ilovebeer]

Wolf, didn't pitch that bad tonight.
