Those Brewers sure are pesky. Wouldn't it be insane if they made an honest run at the Wild Card? I would not be surprised if they did next year. Their announcers are terrible, though. Ned Yost should pull a Dusty and get them fired. Good thing Milwaukee native Mark Grudzielanek is on our side: home run, double, stolen base, five RBIs for the man. Shame about Pujols' error-I wonder if he was thinking about his non-running on Edmonds' hit in the top of the fourth-could have cost Matty the win. Though, that's ok, might drive down his price at bit. Morris again wasn't in first-half form, but only allowed two earned runs (he gave up six hits-all singles with a couple of bloops, three walks, and got four strike outs). I think it's because he let his beard grow out a little.

Get your TiVos, VCRs, whatever you got, ready. The Cards are going outside their starting five for the first time all season tomorrow as they call up Anthony Reyes* for a spot start.

*Count how many times he's referred to as "Former-Teammate-of-Mark-Prior." I think he's hyphenated his name by now.

Speaking of the Cubs, what happened to them? They've lost their last six and are 2-8 in their last 10 games. I really don't want them to fire Baker. He's one of the best things that ever happened to the Cardinals.
