No-hitting the Scarlet Pigeons through 4.

I know we're supposed to be rooting for a split or something, but I'd just as soon see the Brewers pluck the Cardinals and send them to oblivion.

Let's see, 38 words to go. I really think the Cardinals will fall apart if given the right push, so let's see if we can get the Brewers to push for us. That way, we don't get those icky feathers on our hands.

The jinx won't work if you keep using the periods!

CC has a No Hitter going!

Calm down.

It worked.

Well, at least we ruined the no-hitter.

Ledge jumping

Looking at this thing realistically, I hate to say it, but I think that the Brewers have a much better offense than we do, equal starting pitching, equal bullpen, worse defense, and equal bench. With all of this said, if you look at the funk we are in, and look at the remaining schedule, the Brewers have a HUGE advantage. I beleive they will win the division. I am really fearful of them after thinking we had it made. I think Hendry will only make 1 more minor deal such as a right-handed bat off the bench. There will be no other help coming. Most of all, if we don’t have a 7 game lead headed into Sept., I think we are in deep trouble. I would like to know your thoughts and convince me that I am (hopefully) wrong! Thanks. I need a few drinks watching this game!

TOTALLY, agree

We are contrarians here, but add in that this team will be 10+ or more games below .500 by years end, and they’ll be “lucky” to back in as a Wild Card. I say lucky as they would be disadvantaged to play more on the road than at home!

Its a long season, but trends are trends, and I have no Blind Faith (great band) that they will reverse their god-awful trend.
