JJ Hardy provided the heroics late last night (central time) right after he almost lost the game for us. The heart throb blasted a two-run dinger in the 8th to put the Brewers ahead.
Then he made a costly error in the 9th trying to turn a double play. I was sad. Then...JJ hit an RBI single driving home Ray Durham. It was Durhams patience at the plate and stealing that put the Brewers in a position to win the game. Wonder how Rickie Weeks would've fared? Ah, he wouldn't have even made it on the pond.
Dave Bush continued his hot streak by lasting 7 innings giving up only mistake, that being a homerun in the first inning to Ethier. Other than that Mr. Bush was pretty much squared away and finished strong. It seems like he has been going back to his old ways as of late. That being Bush giving up early runs and then settling down to finish the rest of his start strong. That's fine and all, but it relies heavily on run-support...which can be minimal at times.
-Ryan Braun hit a "blooping" double while pinch hitting for Bush in the 8th. That eventually brought him in to score. Clutch, even when taking time off.
-It appears that there is a Topps Baseball card error. Rickie Weeks is Billy Hall this year.
