The only reason I have high hopes for the game tonight is that St. Louis is putting someone on the mound that has been almost as bad as Rusch lately. Simontacchi's ERA over his last three starts is 7.50. Granted, it's not a Rusch-like 9.77, but it's up there. This will probably be a shoot-out, and if either one of these guys make it past the fourth inning, I'll be amazed. If the Brewers can get into the Card's pen early, then we stand a chance.
