5 game winning streak. Kubel finally got out of his hitting slump today. But the surprise of the year so far has to be Rauch. Hes now 4-4 in save ops.

Gardy in the postgame press conference...

Reporter: Five straight wins for you, can you talk about getting off on the right foot?
Gardy: It's better than getting off on the left foot, I'll tell you that...

Wow...that was an exciting yet disappointing end to the game. I was getting pretty amped when I knew Thome was going to face Jenks with the game on the line. Too bad it couldn't have gone our way.

Edit: I'm excited for tomorrow's game!!!!!! First regular season game at target field!

That was a little unfortunate. I woke up during postgame and they replayed it. Its like we forgot how to play smallball.

What did that have to do with small ball? That's on Ullger, you can't let Hardy get thrown out by 30 feet.

Was he for sure waving him home?

And small ball = Effectively running the bases, which obviously didn't happen there, no matter who was at fault.

Let me share this one thing to you all and don't you ever ever EVER....forget it!

NEVER SEND JJ HARDY AROUND THIRD BASE TO SCORE....EVER AGAIN! This man cannot run! Trust me!

All us in Milwaukee. He runs like a girl with junk in her trunk...he moves arms and legs like he is really moving faster then he is...

And sure enough suckered your third base coach to send him and he was thrown out by a mile...

He can't run! Try that again and he will be gunned down again. You could have won that series.

Juan Pierre likely made his best throw in his major league career.
