SBNation Coverage
After a 90 minute rain delay the Brewers decided to make it worth our while by getting out to a seven-run lead, and then giving it all back.
The Crew got the scoring started off right away in the first when Felipe Lopez and Mike Cameron led off with consecutive singles and scored on Ryan Braun’s double. In the second Alcides Escobar led off with his first career extra base hit and scored on Felipe Lopez’s double. Mike Cameron then homered to make it 6-0. In the fourth it was Mike Cameron again, who doubled to score Escobar.
Unfortunately, 7 runs wasn’t enough enough of a lead. The Nationals got two runs in the second inning off Mike Burns and four more on a grand slam by Ronnie Belliard in the third. Burns left with the Brewers leading 8-6, but the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead. Mark DiFelice couldn’t throw strikes and was taken out mid-batter after walking the pitcher (who was trying to bunt). Chris Narveson then entered the game and gave up an RBI double to Nyjer Morgan and a sac fly to tie the game.
The Crew would regain the lead in the sixth on Casey McGehee’s bloop and would tack on another run in the seventh on Felipe Lopez’s RBI double and Jason Kendall's RBI double in the eighth. Chris Narveson settled down and pitched two shut-out innings. After Claudio Vargas pitched a perfect seventh, Todd Coffey came in and gave up a solo home run to Willie Harris, but nothing else. Trevor Hoffman came in and shut the door for his 27th save.

I've started to root for the Cardinals, now that we're out of it
I’ve always kind of liked them, but once they started growing moustaches, it got hard to hide. Then they added Holliday. I will silently cheer for them the rest of the way. Except of course, for 9 games..

I will root for
not the Cubs

YES!
I’m still more of an anti-cub fan than I am a Cardinal fan.

Rather see the Cubs lose
in the playoffs than the Cards in the playoffs.. I will never forgive them for 1982.
Just watching MLB network
Billy Hall had a top play at 3rd.

Good for him
As much as his contract was horrible for his play in Milwaukee I always liked him till about a month ago when enough was enough he wasnt going to fix it with us.
He’s doing pretty well so far (I know sample size)
Not sure if this was mentioned in the game thread as I just got back from Appleton,
but the T-Rats nearly got no-hit by a fellow named Manaurys Correa. Their first hit didn’t come unitl Mike Brownstein’s single with one out in the ninth.
Unfortunately, this was my one and only Rattlers game this year.
BTW, Josh Prince had a few nice defensive plays and generally looked pretty slick out there.
It is what it is.
Thank goodness they managed to pull that game out
That could have been one of the most crushing defeats of the year. But they gritted it out and the drive to catch the Cubs keeps rolling.
The Cult of Cameron Live it Love it never question your love for our Center Fielder.
Greatest Brewers to ever lace them up.
I think they'll catch the Cubs.
