Just a 1/2 game back

Despite the killer defeat Monday in which we gave up 5 runs in the final two innings (stupid, stupid pitching decisions and stupid, stupid bullpen), the Brewers showed up last night and now are just a 1/2 game back of the Cubs, who lost to the Dodgers.

Carlos Villanueva showed that being sent to the minors didn't affect him as he put in 6 solid innings of pitching.

Ryan Braun hit another homerun and the Crew played some serious small ball to eke out runs and top the Astros 5-3.

Lastly, let's hope that JJ Hardy's horrible performance at the plate Monday is not a sign of things to come. JJ grounded out, then grounded into a double play at his next two at-bats, then, with runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out, he popped up a foul ball behind homeplate. Ouch.
