Milwaukee Brewers' Yovani Gallardo just can’t beat the Cardinals, saddled with a 1-7 career record and 5.66 ERA after losing to them in consecutive starts in early September. He has been the Brewers’ only consistent starter in the postseason, with an impressive 0.86 ERA in 21 innings, and is coming off a strong finishing stretch. He needs to ignore a different sort of clutter—his utter lack of success against the Cardinals. Brewers' Nyjer Morgan flung a wad of chewing tobacco at Carpenter in a shouting match in early September and ridiculed the Cardinals on Twitter, had nothing to say. He politely declined interview requests before and after the Brewers’ workout, saying only “Nope.”
St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols has the Brewers’ full attention after a breakout Game 2 in which he homered with three doubles and five RBIs. St. Louis Cardinals' Chris Carpenter has been clutch throughout his career in the postseason, too, going 6-2 with a 2.94 ERA. He pushed aside his friendship with Halladay for a 1-0 win in Game 5 of the NL division series, and will do his best to not allow Brewers animosity to affect him. Carpenter is coming off a career signature moment, a three-hit shutout against Roy Halladay that eliminated the favored Phillies in the NL division series. Carpenter prowls the mound, barks at hitters, and on at least one occasion has been known to invite a basepath collision.
