I have to admit, when it comes to the Brewers, I'm usually one of the first people to throw in the towel. I think the reason for that is just the salary cap. I mean when you're one of the teams with the money, you're going to have one or two more clutch pitchers, or a few more hitters.
The Cardinals were slow starters this year, but right they're on fire, and the Brewers are collapsing. Our starting pitchers just aren't that impressive. We should have leaned on Narveson a little more, maybe, because he's still doing well.
But ultimately.... I'm just really disappointed in how they're playing. They were lucky to get past Arizona after the way they got shelled in Phoenix, and they forced Yo into a game they wanted to rest him for, so they could rest Greinke longer. They fucked that up.
I was hoping they would win last night to guarantee at least one game in Milwaukee...but...I think they're done. Great season. Too bad nobody has another emotional gear to jump in when the playoffs come around. Who pitches tonight, Wolfe? All but a guaranteed loss.
I thought Wolf would blow it too. He really stepped up tonight.
Actually gives me hope for the Crew winning this series.
3-1 = pretty much over
2-2 = 0-0 in a way. Whole new series - best of 3 with only 1 on the road.
I'm worried. Obviously because we have Marcum pitching. But hey, this team has proven that they can win at any time. The Cardinals are just hot right now. Law of averages says they have to cool off sometime...
So that roll out TD toss to James Jones was unbelievable today. Does anyone else in the league throw on the run better than Aaron Rodgers? Did Favre? Did Elway? Does Vick? Did Tarkenton?
I really don't think so.
I thought Clay looked more loose today, and he definitely looked like he was feeling more stable on that quad. Bouncing around on the sideline, LOL. I still think the Collins injury really did some damage to that defense, though. Teams have figured them out a bit, and he's not there to pick up the slack.
But I don't know why I'm talking like that after a win. Jordy and Jones were big time today! Peprah and Burnett will get it done.
