Oh god, not the Cards.

[adambr2]

Good grief. How many pitchers has Jimmy walked this year, 3?

[adambr2]

Was anyone doubtful for one second that walking Wacha would come back to haunt Nelson?

[AKCheesehead]

No. I put that run on my mental scoreboard as soon as it was ball 4. Walking the pitcher is bad enough, but the st louis pitcher? Forget it, that runner is coming home. That's just the way she goes with these guys.

[adambr2]

Hey, there's another walk to the pitcher. That's your thing now, Jimmy.

[adambr2]

Uh-oh. The Cardinals aren't going to like Nelson showing emotion after getting out of that 6th.

[adambr2]

Carter flashing that 40 HR power tonight.

[splitterpfj]

Chris Carter is a strong man, man.

I refuse to cheer for any Brewer than wears #15. That's Ben Sheet's number and always will be.

ummm, Cecil Cooper says hello...

[TURBO]

I hate neck tattoo........so much! 2nd homer of the year and it has to be against us. Hate that guy.

Before my time, therefore never happened.

I would have no problem if they just put him on via beaning every time he came up. I hate the ump spitting thug.

[Baldkin]

At the game tonight. Learned in the first that Scooter is scared of birds.

[jerichoholicninja]

Smith isn't a LOOGY but he's not good enough against RHB to just bring him in any time.

[burnzy24]

Any one else see the Cardinals fans flipping off the Brewer fan when the game came back from commercial to start the 9th?

They're all class, just ask them.

[valpocrewsader]

Perez jogs out of the box on the sac bunt that might have been a bunt single if he had been booking it from the start. Our crack broadcasters say nothing about it.

[TGOTJ]

You just know Boras is cheering for Wilkins.

[adambr2]

Wilkins looks like we may as well have let Zach Davies be our last man off the bench.

[jerichoholicninja]

Nice job Jeff. Davies could have done that.

[jerichoholicninja]

He's safe Yadi. No amount of spitting can change that.

[jerichoholicninja]

If he's out we riot.
