L: John Smoltz (3-6)

SBNation Coverage

And somehow, Manny Parra owns the Cardinals.

Despite posting an ERA over 7 against the rest of baseball, Manny Parra has pitched well against the Cardinals in each of his four outings against them, posting a 2.42 ERA in 26 innings, including allowing just two earned runs in 6.1 innings today en route to his tenth victory.

The Brewer bullpen made it interesting in the seventh, as Parra was lifted with one out and a runner on and David Weathers loaded the bases with a hit and a walk, but Mitch Stetter struck out Khalil Greene and Claudio Vargas got Albert Pujols to ground out to end the inning. Pujols came up again with two outs and a runner on in the ninth, and Trevor Hoffman struck him out to end the game.

Casey McGehee hit his second home run of the series and his thirteenth of the season in the sixth inning, giving the Brewers the lead. He was the MVP of all three games in the series. Ryan Braun also went 2-for-4 and was the only Brewer to record a multi-hit game.

Agreed.

Particularly when Looper has 11 wins.

How many of those wins are disrespectful?

Holy cow!!

The Brewers beat the Cardinals and the Cubs lose. It’s like a perfect day.

A perfect season (according to Connie)

Connie Mack was known for being cheap. He once jumped into a cab to the ballpark with an umpire so that he wouldn’t have to pay the full fare. On the cab ride, he revealed something to the umpire. The perfect season, according to Mack, was not one in which his Athletics won the pennant. It was one where the Athletics started the season hot and led the league for a while early in the season. That would get the fans excited so he would sell lots of tickets. Then he wanted the team to fade and finish under .500. That was so they wouldn’t ask for salary increases for next season.

in it to win it

(as long as “it” is a draft pick around #5)

My guess is that if the Sounds miss the playoffs...

that’s they’ll just bring up Burns to start. He pitched yesterday, so he should be ready to pitch again when Bush’s next start comes up.

BTW, Memphis-Nashville starting in half an hour.

Chase Wright going for the good guys, who really need to win this one to keep their shot at the playoffs alive.

Who wants to volunteer to give up all social lives to study PitchFX?

Been There, Done That

No thanks. :) I am no database wizard, and having to enter in the data for each game manually was a painful experience. And the Pitch F/X pros have lapped anything I ever did, anyway.
