Brewers strength is becoming a weakness

October 11, 2011 By

Without the Milwaukee Brewers starting pitching staff, they most likely wouldn’t have been in the post-season playoffs to begin with.  Now that they’re there, the strength is becoming a weakness.

The playoff pitching slide continued on Monday night when Shaun Marcum was knocked around the park by the Cardinals until he departed after four innings.  Albert Pujols had 4-hits, including a 2-run homer.  Pujols drove in 5-runs in the Cardinals 12-3 victory in game 2 of their series at Miller Park.

The Brewers erupted for 6-runs in the 5th inning, including a pair of two run homers from Prince Fielder and Yuniesky Betancourt to jump in front 8-5 and go on to a 9-6 victory in the National League Championship Series opener. [Read more...]

Series at Miller Park this afternoon. 

The love/hate relationship between the two has been there for some time, but Nyjer Morgan taking on Chris Carpenter and then Albert Pujols during a recent regular season matchup has only fueled the fire.  Morgan exchanged insults with Carpenter and then challenged Albert Pujols when he came flying in.  After the on-field show was done, Morgan than had more words for Pujols on Twitter.

Tony LaRussa has certainly added to the mess, stoking the flames when he made remarks about the Brewers untucking their shirts in their post-game victory celebrations.  The last time the Cardinals were in Milwaukee, LaRussa even complained to Major League Baseball about the lighting on the ribbon panel being different when opponents are batting. 

It’s LaRussa’s petty whining that has led Brewers fans to dislike the Cardinals and their manager with a passion. [Read more...]

October 7, 2011 By

Through the first four games of the NLDS, the home team has held serve.

Miller Park

Arizona, after trailing 2-0 in the series, went home to win the last two games in convincing fashion over the Milwaukee Brewers in Phoenix.  Now Brewers and Diamondbacks play the 5th and deciding game of the series with a win or go home mentality.
