The Brewers have lost 2 in a row

Are they starting to wilt a little?
Where is gobrewersgo?
The Cubs have lost 4 in a row.
Too bad the Cards have not really taken advantage of it.

interesting note:

Gallardo is scheduled to throw a simulated game very soon...he won't return before the end of the season but he could be a useful addition to the playoff roster if things go well...

It's, uh, two games.

I was making my Extra Innings September games list, and I noticed that the Cubs and Brewers have a rough month ahead. They play each other and lots of contenders all month. It could get interesting before it's over. Of course, we have to win the vast majority of our games. One at a time.

Do you just look for things to disagree with me on?

It has to start sometime!

Jesus. What would a season be without a late Houston rally? They're two games behind us now.

People are starting to get excited out here, even though Colorado is still 8 games under .500 (66-74). The Rockies have closed to within 5 games of the NLW-leading DBacks.

Maybe lightning can strike twice....

Leftovers from St. Louis: Right-hander Carlos Villanueva was not pleased when he heard the verbal shots that St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols took at him after the game Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. When Villanueva got excited after getting out of a bases-loaded jam, Pujols accused him of pointing into the Cardinals’ dugout and showing no respect for that team.

Villanueva said he was not pointing into the St. Louis dugout and meant no disrespect whatsoever, that he merely was excited about getting out of the jam. And he said Pujols had no right to go off on him like that.

“I think sometimes he thinks he’s bigger than the game,” said Villanueva. “He’s not.

“I have respect for the Cardinals. I’m going to do my best to do my job. I did not point in their dugout or look at anybody. (Catcher Jason) Kendall (who caught a foul pop for the last out) was a little bit toward their dugout and I was looking at him. I admit I got a bit excited.

“I used to have a lot of respect for Pujols. Now, I’ve lost some of that respect. I don’t know why he would say those things about me. They’re not true. I have respect for the game.”

Yost did not get involved in Pujols’ war of words but did say he thought Villanueva crossed a line of conduct on the field.

“I had a big problem with it,” Yost said. “I had a huge problem with it. What it was, was a young guy who lost track of his emotions. We’re at a stage where we can’t afford to do that.”

Asked if he spoke to Villanueva about it, Yost said, “Oh, yes.”

And what if it happens again?

“If it does, it’s going to be very serious.”

The other tempest in a teapot that came out of St. Louis was that apparently some players and others associated with the team thought it was unprofessional for the Brewers to untuck their jerseys on the field after victories. It’s a tradition started by centerfielder Mike Cameron, who does it out of tribute to his father, who untucked his shirt after coming home from work each day.

“I don’t care what they say or what they think,” Yost said. “I don’t have a problem with it. I haven’t had a problem with it all year. That’s the first I heard that anybody else does, either.

“If they don’t want to see it, then beat us.”

Cameron had the same basic reaction.

“I just think they’re (mad) because everybody (on the field for the Brewers) does it,” he said. “That’s the only place where they made a big deal about it. If they don’t like it, let them come tell me.”

The longest losing streak in the history of every sport started with two losses in a row.

I was gone all weekend so just catching up on some threads. The above comment is intriguing. Really? Interesting. So, if lets say, Albert's dad, dropped his pants every day after coming home from work....the Cards should honor that tradition! It's almost as though the Brewers are acting like rebels, hoping that will propel them to actually make the post season. I don't know...I can't figure them out. I just wish the Cards would stop losing to them.....
