Counsell triples in two runs and the Brewers take a 5-3 lead. :x

Ridiculous at bat. Milwaukee looks like they are getting back in their stride.

Hopefully this crazy rout will help deplete the Cards' bullpen a bit. Considering they don't have a single day off the rest of the way, a game like today's could make a significant difference if they have to burn through an extra 2-3 RPs they didn't plan on using.

Maybe you missed it, but the rosters expanded. They probably didn't plan on using Jimenez or Cavazos today, but that's because they probably didn't plan on being behind by 11 runs.

Pence with a lead-off walk in the 7th.

Burke singles. Astros have two runners on with none out in the seventh.

Linebrink in for the Brewers with two on and none out to face Berkman.

Thanks for sucking today Carlos Lee.

Astros get one, but Lee GIDP to end the threat. 5-4 Brewers, mid 7.

Kelvim Jiminez has pitched three and a third scoreless innings so far. If he's able to finish the game (La Russa let him hit for himself in the 8th, so I'm assume they'll try), we'll have only used Wells, Cavazos (call-up) and Jiminez (call-up). All things considered, this loss could have been a lot worse.

2-run triple for Hunter Pence, game tied 7-7 in the 8th.

Pence scores on a passed ball, 8-7 Astros.

Another day, another game pissed down the tubes by the complete mismanagement by Ned Yost. Thats at least 5 or 6 games you can hang directly on his head this season now.

 

Gee, we are up by 2 with 2 runners and 1 out, how about I take out our best RP on the year and put in some guy just brought up from AAA... smart move buddy.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Brewers and Cardinals lose, but too bad we won't be extending our lead in the Comedy Central today.

I still can't believe Yost double switched out Ryan Braun.

I still can't believe Yost double switched out Ryan Braun.

 

Yost takes Braun out just about every time they have a lead like that. He switched him out of the game against the Cubs (Wednesday night) in the late innings when they had the lead.

Yeah its not a huge deal, he needs time off and thats one way to get it for him and he is just brutal on defense. That had little to do with the Loss though. It was bringing in the guy with a 6 ERA over the past 3 years who just came up from the minors to pitch the biggest at bat of the game that cost the team.

As the Brewers fans like to say: Yosted Again
