2011-10-16 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 12-6; lose NLCS 4 games to 2]

[owbc]

5 runs and Braun+Fielder are 0-4.

"Casey McGehee is on deck...A power hitter for Milwaukee"

 

It's nice to see BA having a sense of humor. That's Uecker-esque.

[Ennder]

Does this Cardinal team remind anyone of the 2010 Packers? Win the wild card by playing well at the end and getting some luck from other teams playing poorly, lose close games in the regular season at the end of games, win on the road in big games in the playoffs...

Just an interesting comparison.

I'm not sure I think it a very good one. The Packers were the most talented team in the league in 2010, they just had a ton of injuries and it took them a while to get the inexperienced players playing well to offset them.

 

On a side note either the ump changed the strike zone or this is a decidedly Cardinal favoring ump because this is just ridiculous that suddenly these pitches are strikes.

5 runs and Braun+Fielder are 0-4.

I have a feeling Fielder's not putting up an 0fer in his last possible day as a Brewer.

[owbc]

Game tracker has the Crew at 16%! Keep the faith! Bring Yuni in here, and we're back to within shouting distance!

That's way higher odds than our odds of making the World Series back in March!

[pebadger]

The Brewers have 5 runs and Morgan, Braun and Fielder are 0 for 6.

[Oldcity]

Crap.

[adambr2]

Well, Casey's up, so I guess 1 is all we're getting this inning.

[Oldcity]

McGehee the first pinch hitter off the bench again. Against a righty. Incredible.

[jjkoestler]

Time to come up huge, Casey.

[jason21nl]

annnnd he didn't go...this crap is really making me mad

[Funketown]

I would actually have liked to see *gasp* Mark Kotsay come up to bat here.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Lucroy sure strikes out on a lot of crap out of the zone.

 

And here comes Casey to save the day.

[razzzorsharp]

McGahee, see it, hit it, hard.

[owbc]

McGehee's sitting fastball and he's probably not going to get even one.

[hurricanecrush]

He should be taking 3-1

[ttsather]

Here we go, Casey, here's your fastball.

[Team Canada]

Casey, if you hit a homer I'll forgive your whole year of suckitude.

[razzzorsharp]

Nice strike/ball there. Make them pay Corey, make them pay.

[jjkoestler]

Well done, Casey. RALLY CAPS

[ttsather]

Good eye, Casey.

[owbc]

Great at bat by Casey.

[bjkrautk]

Gladly take any non-out from Casey there.

[pebadger]

I'd consider running a pitcher for CM here. More than consider.

[jason21nl]

if Hart can hit one out here that would be incredible
