PrintW: Francisco Cordero (5-4)
L: Trevor Hoffman (2-7)
HR: Jay Bruce (18), Juan Francisco (1)
MVP: Kameron Loe (+.189)
LVP: Trevor Hoffman (-.386)
So, a 42 year old can't be effective on back-to-back-to-back days. Who'd have guessed?
Randy Wolf clearly didn't have much tonight, and was probably a little lucky to escape five innings allowing just three runs. Wolf allowed eight hits, walked five, and didn't strike anyone out. His early departure created yet another long outing for the Brewer bullpen, which entered the game with seven relievers that had all pitched at least once in the last two days.
Mike McClendon, Zach Braddock and Kameron Loe managed to hold the Reds to one run over four innings, but Ken Macha opted not to use Todd Coffey (who was warming in the ninth) to pitch the tenth inning, and instead decided to use Trevor Hoffman, who had already pitched Saturday and yesterday. Hoffman walked Ryan Hanigan, then got a couple of pop ups but eventually allowed back-to-back singles to drive home the winning run.
With the win and the Cardinals' loss, the Reds now have a six game lead in the Central.

That last sentence
means i’m not upset at all.

Question...
Did the road crew kill the bird when they painted over it or was it dead already when they came by?
Pujols is the Barack Obama of baseball.
Hopefully
We can find a manager who will teach Braun to run the bases. Maybe also someone that won’t leave a soft throwing right hander to face a red hot lefty with the game on the line. Too much to ask? Probably.

"Bullpen Management for Dummies"
I think Macha would have a great use for such a book

I am taking the Spock approach to this series now
“For the good of the many the few or the one must suffer”
I guess for at least one game we are the few or the one suck for us that we lost but Cards are even farther behind so it isn’t all bad.

Yosted again
I’m really getting tired of watching Macha making calls 90% of the fanbase wouldn’t, and getting burned on every one.

Who do you think should've been brought in?
Not many options left in the bullpen at that point in the game… particularly arms that were rested.
Pujols is the Barack Obama of baseball.
I seriously can't stand the fact
that people are okay with losing to the Reds, because it hurts the Cardinals. Disgusting.

If you cannot win hurt your real enemy and that is the Cards
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
No
the real enemy is who the brewers are playing. The next enemy is everyone else in the NL central.

Your Cardinal hate is weak Mykenk
Weak indeed You must open your mind to the dark side and allow the hate to flow
Come on it should be easy for a Bitter Bastard like you ;)
I did the wink just to bug DM
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
equally? or do you hate one more than the other
Reds fans do not strike me as asshat like Cards fans do(very knowledgeable asshats but asshats none the less)
Not saying I want the Brewers to lose but if when they lose it hurts the Cards I find some tiny amount of peace in that.
Plus I know this type of argument drives some people nuts makes for good conversation
"It's a joke. It's all a joke.
how about this
I wanted the Brewers to win
I wanted the Cardinals to lose
As soon as we’re done with the Reds series, the Reds are allowed to win 100% of their games. Until then, they are to lose to us.

Hm
I want the Cards/Reds to lose the rest of their games. Guess my outlook is different.
http://www.twitter.com/mykenk
I guess so
I say they’re “allowed to”
I’d rather have the Reds finish ahead of the Cards. I could care less what record it is that they need in order to achieve that, as I don’t think the Crew has an effing chance to pass them both up.

It doesn't matter whether the Reds or the Cards win
I’m not cheering for them in the playoffs, so it makes no difference to me.

No some of us have just reached a level of acceptance
That this season is a lost cause

Joey Votto kill your puppy?
I don’t have a problem with the Reds at all. They haven’t attempted to get in a beanball war with us (see Pirates, Cards) or have an asshat fanbase (Cubs, Cards, Yankees, Red Sox) or raking in the dough (Yankees, RSox, Cubs, Dodgers, maybe SF Giants). I’m pretty ambivalent as to their existence. I won’t be cheering for them, but I certainly won’t be cheering against them come playoff time.

This is starting to get scary.
For the second time in a week I totally agree with what Pags said. Unlike the Pirates when the Reds sucked and we were “good” they did not whine or throw at us they just played hard against us I believe in 08 they gave the Crew fits down the stretch if my memory serves me right. So yes come the playoffs I hope they are representing the Central and I will be pulling for them. Would I prefer to be rooting for the Crew of course but that is not going to happen this season.
The stuff about the asshat fan base of certain teams was spot on.
