Rockies 4, Brewers 2

MVP: Casey McGehee (+.129)
LVP: Mike Rivera (-.195)

If you saw the game last night, you saw the game tonight.

The Brewers got ahead 2-0 early on the strength of two-out RBI doubles from Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, and then decided they'd had enough scoring for the day, or maybe Jorge de la Rosa convinced his old mates to finally let him have a good start at Miller Park.

Dave Bush pitched acceptably, striking out seven in five innings but walking four. He surrendered a solo home run to Troy "Runner-Up" Tulowitzki in the 4th but really wilted in the 5th, allowing what seemed like the Rockies' 21st-23rd doubles this series to give the Rockies a 3-2 lead. Seth McClung gave up the coffin nail in the 7th, a solo shot to Brad Hawpe.

On the bright side, we did witness a successful Brewers debut from Chris Smith, who only had to wait a week after being called up to pitch. Somehow, the game managed to take three and a half hours to complete despite being basically devoid of action.

Writing the game thread in the 7th inning of a loss and then not having to change it is really depressing

Well, I did have to take out the part about Gamel not playing.

It was a great selection of awesome.

the Rox picked a fine time to go on a hot streak

as in, right before interleague, where they’re unable to beat up on the rest of the NL Central other than the Cards.

I am getting tired of this offense

Two runs a night is not going to get it done.

A line up with Hart Hardy and Hall and the Pitcher is like playing 5 on 8

Let me spell it for you Cub fans O N E H U N D R E D A N D O N E Y E A R S

Yeah, how dare they go only 15-12 (.556) over the last month.

That sleepy and fun-less month sure has dragged down their season winning percentage big-time – .559 now.

That’s a long leash on the ~~bulldog~~ poodle.
